[ male announcer ] this december, remember -- what starts with adding a friend... ♪ ♪ ...could end with adding a close friend. ♪ the lexus december to remember sales event is on, offering some of our best values of the year. this is the pursuit of perfection.

is government too big? people blame national and state governments but the greatest costs exists at the local level. let's find out from nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston. larry, is government too big? >> no. no. not at all. i don't want the mayor or city council getting on my case. >> a lot of people would say yes. you say their focus is misdirected. >> in this age, you know, when everyone is worrying about costs, about every kind of thing, governments are costly too. so some people are looking at duplicative causes of explosive growth. let's take the picture. california has 58 counties. more than 480 cities. 1,000 school districts. 5,000 special districts that deal with everything from mosquito abatement to water

quality. you name it, we got it. with layoffs occurring in important service areas like education and public safety, some people believe that merged services could make room for better services. that's what we're looking at. >> give me an example of what you're looking at. >> let's look at st. claire county. it's typical of other economies as well. you travel from one end to the other in an hour. it's a relatively compact area. 15 cities. there are 34 school districts. there are 12 police departments. 11 fire departments in a fairly compact county. reformers would say by merging of these governments we would have fewer fire chiefs, police chiefs, school superintendents and high paid assistants and specialized equipment would be better used as well from one place to another. the released funds could be used to hire more teachers, hire more

police, fire personnel, to make government more efficient and productive. >> i want to make everyone hears you clearly. getting rubbing there. we'll hear you better now. i can guess one reason why there might be some pushback. when you merge departments and there are powerful service unions that may not like the idea. where else might people push back on this? >> some of the biggest layoffs would be at the upper end where you get merged superintendents. those are big ticket positions that can buy a lot of positions beneath them. that's part of it. people here and elsewhere are conservative with a small c. we're not talking politics here. by that i mean we like to live where we live. we like the feel. we like the local public safety personnel. we know the police. we know the fire people.

we like the idea that we can go to our local city school districts and speak our minds. things like that. local governments close by local governments feel good. it's that simple. it's also hard for many to view themselves as part of a bigger community where they wouldn't know the services that well in that community and wouldn't know the people that well. it's kind of a status quo mentality if you will is a powerful draw for many of us. it comes at a huge price when we think about the resources which are stretched and voters don't like paying more than they already pay for government they already have. >> there's an analogy, local and federal there is that people want to cut services but they don't want their services cut. i want smaller government but not my government any smaller. so facing those challenges, how do you break through on that? >> i think we don't want to go crazy here. we don't suggest everyone should be merged into one school district. maybe there's an attempt here to

see things in the form of baby steps if you will. let's take san mateo county. right nearby in the area. it's become a laboratory in some ways for these kinds of changes. in the past couple years, three local governments in san mateo county merged police or fire service with the county sheriff or fire department. those local governments are now using their savings for other badly needed services relatively small san mateo county can be duplicated elsewhere remains to be seen. i tell you something, you can bet that as long as money becomes tight and services become stretched, people are going to start to look to do things differently as conservative as we are, we have to think about doing things differently and that's why this discussion is coming up. something to watch. >> appreciate you coming in. you can get larry's political insight any time on nbcbayarea.com. now, most of us enjoyed a long holiday weekend spending time with family and friends, it's back to business as usual

tomorrow. cnbc's tyler mathisen gives us a preview of what's ahead this week in the world of business. >> leftover turkey is done. many got a head start on holiday shopping and everyone heads back to work tomorrow just as the countdown to christmas begins. in washington, lawmakers return from their thanksgiving break and get right to work on a budget agreement trying to avert the so-called fiscal cliff of tax hikes and big spending cuts slated to take effect at the start of the new year crippling the economy possibly. monday is known as cyber-monday by some consumers when holiday shoppers who didn't leave their thanksgiving dinner or brave the black friday crowds instead plan to do much of their holiday shopping online. now, a handful of economic reports this week may reflect the lingering impact of hurricane sandy. durable goods orders expected to rise last month but many factories in the east had to shut down and sales of new homes may have been hurt in the final

welcome back. quite the change this sunday morning compared to 24 hours ago. the fog filled in and somewhere out there is the san mateo bridge. the sign to the right says heavy fog. mid span disappears into the clouds and you can see the visibility in miles dropped off. san francisco into san jose, you're looking at a quarter mile visibility just checking sfo now reporting flight delays of 30 minutes and increasing. that will be the case as long as these low clouds are around. oakland and san jose reporting no delays for air travel. in these situations low clouds thick as they are you can expect more hours of delays probably at sfo through the morning and then as skies clear we should see improving conditions at the airports and on the roadways. right now 53 in san francisco. 30s and 40s across the north bay and temperatures will stay down until we get the low clouds to break up and the sun to heat the ground and eventually warm things up. we'll be off to a cooler start today. less sunshine for the afternoon. all signs pointing to a cooler finish to your sunday. right now not much wind and that's also making things worse.

like a fan across the pacific ocean and push a swell that could binge wave heights up to 20 feet late friday into saturday. something to watch out for on the coastline heading for the start of next weekend. jumping ahead now, this is tuesday evening into wednesday. you can see clouds filling in wednesday morning's commute could be a mess because we have the rain coming in. you really will notice the winds cranking up making wednesday's system different from what we've seen so far this fall. temperatures around the bay area should be low to mid 60s around san jose. it could be optimistic if the fog lingers into early afternoon. we could see highs upper 50s to low 60s for most of the bay area today. places like livermore and pleasanton have been mainly fog free. those locations could get upper 60s today. back to where low clouds are, san francisco into berkeley, less sunshine today. you'll see a chilly day with hazy sunshine and highs in the low 60s. low to mid 60s out into the north bay. three-day forecast shows you dry

conditions through tuesday and then everything starts to change. tuesday night into wednesday we got the winds picking up. that will arrive first. winds 20 to 30 miles an hour. higher gusts around the hills and wednesday looks very rainy. first half of the day. thursday that rain should move into the north bay. we'll catch a break for most of the bay area and then friday into saturday the next round comes in. that could be heavier rain for the south bay to start off next weekend. the fog causing problems this morning. low clouds you start to break up right after lunchtime today. >> thank you very much. now, thanksgiving out of the way. our eyes are set on christmas and parents searching for hottest toys for their kids. there are gifts to avoid. lisa parker has tips for parents. >> reporter: an unlikely starting point. family with little ones may do well to grab an empty one of these. >> we don't expect parents or caregivers to have one of these handy choke tube cylinders in their homes.
