rules for domestic workers assuring better working conditions for an eight-hour day and overtime. that's something very new for california. now turn to gun control which is hot, of course, across the nation. legislature passed new bills that tightens california already nation-leading laws on this issue. the state remains by far the bluest in the nation. then there's the driver's license for undocumented immigrants. boy, that issue has been stalled for more than a decade. one reason or another. and by the way, beyond that there were areas where the legislature didn't act. you know, the other side of the coin, kris, substantive pension reform. conservatives are all over the democrats for not doing anything on that. and easing of the california environmental quality act. we call that sequa. businesses were very unhappy about that. opponents are quite upset about some areas where the legislature decided to punt and do nothing. >> there are a lot of times our legislators take a long time and

it seems like for us not for very good reason. however, there are some valid reasons why these things take a while. >> you know, we look back and we say, what are these guys doing here? why aren't they getting it done early in the year rather than later in the year? as you said, there are some important reasons to think about. let's begin with the fact that you get these controversial issues and they're tough to get through. something like the fracking legislation. that's difficult. you have to do a lot of research on that. when you do that research, what happens out of that? well, it takes a while to get it all together. all the specialists have to make it work. a second, you have controversial bills sometimes hanging by a thread, just a thread, because they are just that, controversial. so that means that the legislative sponsor says to a fellow legislator, look, i want to vote for your bill, you know, but i need you to vote for my bill, so how about if i vote for yours and you vote for mine? you know, we may hold our noses about that, but it is a political reality. they call it log rolling, by the

way, and it happens a lot, especially at the very end of the year when everybody is desperate to get their bills through. and third, then there's the matter of negotiations with the governor. you know, they can go to the very end, and in these cases the question of whether the political climate is right, that will have a lot to say about whether the governor signs the bill. the governor can't be on the bad end of too many bills. he can't stand out that much. he has to weigh in carefully as to whether these bills make sense for him. you put it all together and you could begin to see, wow, this is a gcomplicated process. >> there are 500 bills on his desk awaiting signature. how many of those do you think he will sign? >> this is something interesting. we've been watching this during the year, okay? but, remember, of course, in the end the governor is very responsible for what goes on. they've got to be in sync. they have to find some way, and this year they have been in uncharacteristic sync. to date brown has votetoed less

than 2% of the bills that reached his disk. that's far from the 14% in 2011, 12% in 2012. schwarzenegger votetoed as manys 25%. you never overturn a governor's veto, it's the kiss of death. >> is that because of the overwhelming democratic majority then obviously? >> obvious to you and obvious to me. the old saying, is to the victor goes the spoils. well, it's no different in california and there's no question about that. the democrats have, remember, kris, we've been talking about this, this juggernaut, this two-thirds majority in both houses that the assembly and the senate and we have a democratic governor to boot. wow. for these votes, it's the sweet spot. it's sweet reward for all the hard years of hard campaigning work. for the republicans, oh, my gosh, the licking they took this year, you should think it would provide great energy for a

regrouping in 2014. all it takes, kris, even with that powerful two-thirds majority, all it takes is for the republicans to win two, three seats in either house and guess what? they become viable. they become strong. the painful defeats from the past few years, wow, they certainly give reason for the republicans to push harder in next year's elections, yeah. no question about that. thank you very much, larry. we'll see you next week. >> you bet. >> still ahead on "today in the bay," a group of bay area little leaguers will be celebrating a big accomplishment today. we'll let you know where you can get in on the celebration. and this morning waking up to some sunshine, a little bit of cloud cover, not much, and no fog. no foggy delays to report at sfo. we'll get to you the weekend forecast and let you know what the next six days of summer look like. stay with us.

no foggy delays to report at my asthma's under control. i don't miss out... you sat out most of our game yesterday! asthma doesn't affect my job... you were out sick last week. my asthma doesn't bother my family... you coughed all through our date night! i hardly use my rescue inhaler at all. what did you say? how about - every day? coping with asthma isn't controlling it. test your level of control at asthma.com, then talk to your doctor. there may be more you could do for your asthma.

expecting plenty of sunshine later on today. you can see the golden gate bridge this morning, something you usually can't see at this hour. 7:54, we're waking up to clear

conditions really at the coastline. that's a very telltale sign of what is headed our way. a few clouds this morning. yesterday we were really socked in with the fog. 60s and 70s around the bay today. temperatures right now not too bad, 59 in san francisco, same in san mateo, sunnyvale as well, san francisco, and livermore. gilroy at 58 and santa cruz at 52. blustery overnight. 15 to 20 miles per hour even at the coastline. today winds gusting up to 30, possibly 40 miles per hour, especially over the open waters for the america's cup. so they could be dealing with a few more issues there here to date. we are tracking showers in the seven-day forecast. there's going to be a cold front that moves through the pacific as we head towards thursday and friday. now, we're not going to take the brunt of this system. we're really going to take the tail end of it. the tail end of that system will move this way and a lot of shower activity will stay into northern california, oregon, and washington, but here is the thing.

the computer models calling for the potential for showers friday and saturday, but this is more rain than we've actually forecasted since back in april. it's been a long time since the computer models had this much agreeance in showers in the forecast. you will notice if you stop the clock at 5:00 on saturday, a lot of that activity not going to make its way into the south bay. definitely make sure you check back every day. temperatures back into the upper 70s to low 80s. 78 in san jose. 80 in danville. 84 in livermore. 67 in san francisco, and 71 comfortable degrees in oakland later this afternoon. there's the showers i was telling but. those will make their way into the picture by friday and saturday. we have a nice dry week to prepare for this, and of course, check back each and every day for that up-to-date forecast. by friday and saturday we'll have a better idea of what's going to happen. >> thank you very much, anthony. an austrian slack line walker and climber scaled nearly a 900-foot tall tower in central

china. michael used his bare hands and metal strips on the tower's glass exterior to make his way to the top. when he got there, the 23-year-old jumped, then floated down with a parachute. he earned worldwide fame in 2011 by skating 500-footicallies in a national park in france using his bare hands. they didn't win it all, but they will be celebrated like champions by their community today. the belmont little league all-stars went farther than any team had gone in the 50-year history of their league. they made it all the way to williamsport, pennsylvania, in the prestigious little league world series. the party will take place at marina field in belmont. the team will be driven to the field in mercedes-benz convertibles where they will sign autographs and host a barbecue by community leaders. thank you so much for making us a part of our morning. more local news this evening and it's football night in america. hope you join us for that game.

we'll see you next weekend.
