this month. more important issues may lie ahead. larry joins us with a preview of looming tax questions that voters will likely face in 2016. we're looking at pretty far ahead at these tax issues in the next coming years but what are they? >> comes down a couple of years real quick. i say to you, watch your wallets. two years from now you can expect as many as a half a dozen initiatives on the ballots dealing with raising revenues. some of these will be relatively narrow about specific industries. others will be more broad in nature. one way or another the voters will have to decide whether to increase revenues in variety of areas. >> we're not only talking about individuals. we're also talking about businesses. what areas specifically are going to face scrutiny. >> let's begin with oil. california is the only major oil producing state that doesn't tax oil coming out of ground.

an effort is being organized for a 9.9% per barrel. this would lead as much as two millions annually. another area would be tobacco. they're calling for a $2 per pack increase in tobacco tax. that's an area where california ranks 33 out of 56. a proposed $1 tax in 2012. after that the industry spent $50 million in a state wiwide campaign. it could bring in $1.2 billion annually. two other areas bear watching, proposition 30. it brings in $7 billion annually. that measure expires in 2019. already there's talk of

extending the temporary tax even with proposition 30. get ready. there's the holy grail. proposition 13. that 1978 measure that reduce property taxes by more than 50%. reformers want to change the way the property tax is applied to commercial and industrial buildings. after prop 13 passed in 1978 they each paid about 50% of that tax but today residents paid 65% of the tax because businesses are rarely reassessed. a lot to think about. >> a lot at stake but we are constantly reminded that california is already a very high tax state. why more right now? >> they're still getting around that. some people are quick to blame. california has a bean bur rack si. it leads to things like water,

power grid, highways and k through 12 public education. other factors include levels of incarcerati incarceration. i would add the need to protect a pollution susceptible environment that we have in california because of our topography. it's really the 8th or 9th largest nation in the world if california stood alone. look, for some californians, some or all of these taxes are a must to keep california what it is, a great place to live. maybe we need to think about average or tolerable instead of good or best. some of these measures won't even qualify. they won't qualify because of the signatures you have to collect. some will.

you can expect fierce opposition from the sectors under attack. all of which will be to an awful lot of fighting and campaign spending between now and 2016. >> thank you, larry for being here. keep it right here. today in the bay sunday is back after the break with this. a bay area masterpiece made of cookies and candy. you have to see the mansion big enough to step inside. looks good there morning. this radar we're talk about. some heavy rain moving into san francisco now stretching into the south bay and lightning strikes. up to date with the sunday forecast. let you know when the storms will move in and out after this.

back to you now. 7:52 the time. i want to start you off with

this radar. right now i want to zoom into san francisco. you can see the stuff moving into to south san francisco over towards san bruno and a lot of half-moon bay and most of the coastline seeing very heavy rain now. santa cruz, morgan hill and gilroy starting the see the heavy rain. even sunniville starting to see the light shower activity. this brunt of rain will move through at 10:00. you see a few lightning strikes still showing up off the coast. we'll see a few lightning strikes as we head through the morning. a lot of that activity, at least the severe threat will diminish. i want to show you san francisco right now because you can actually see the heavy batch of rain that has moved through. the thing to note here, you can see the ground is wet but i want you to see the flag. you'll notice it's not even

blowing here. this flag right here there, that little thing there is not moving. today we're seeing the rain but the good news is we're not seeing the heavy winds. we'll see the heavy winds as we head toward tuesday and wednesday. i want to start you off with the future cast for today. you'll notice as we head towards 11:00, 12:00, most of us will dry out as the rain pushes into the north bay. we'll still have a few cells and those will roll on through as we head through the day. by 3:00, a lot of us will be dry but there will be cells that will produce brief downpours. i think our skies will remain gray. for tomorrow we'll have a brief break in the rain before the core of the system that's moving through right now will move through on tuesday and wednesday. that will produce the gusty winds i was telling you about as we move through tuesday and wednesday. you'll notice 2 dl:00 in the afternoon. then the evening hours will get a bit of a break.

tuesday and wednesday we're going to be wet days. the wild card will be the extremely strong gusty winds that we'll see tuesday and wednesday. the ground already saturated we could be looking at a few power outages in trees down especially tuesday night. look at the purples, that's about 50 miles an hour winds tuesday night. by wednesday we're talking about the entire coastline. 450 miles an hour and even across the mountain diablo we could be looking at gusts. down to the valley floor we'll see sustained wednesdays about 30 or 40. topple trees especially with saturated ground. this is how much rain we're estimating we're get across the bay area p. anywhere from an inch of rain in san jose to one to three in the north bay. you think about the mountains. they also get more.

we could be tallying up by the end of this week maybe five inches of rain in places like the santa cruz mountains. about a week ago we got about seven inches of rain. at least we're not going the other way. at least we'll be levelled and start to see the reservoirs rise. >> thank you. it is back and bigger and sweeter than ever. the executive chef at the fairmont hotel says their famous ginger bread house is a labor of love. it stands 22 feet high. the pastry shop spent about 375 hours building it. they used more than 1 ton of candy. the first house went up six years ago. they have been trying to one up

themselves every year and they have done it this year. the chefs are trying to make it more spectacular each year. >> the clock tower wasn't there last year. we brought the train out this year. there's more animation in the house. if you look around and look at the kids, look at the adults too, they're all smiling and this brings so much joy in the holidays festive season. >> amazing. the house will be in the hotel lobby for you to see through the holidays. hey, king. how are you? it's not your turn yet. >> we leave you with this story. the featured pet of the week making a tv debut a few minutes early at the miami station. interrupting the weather segment. the dog's name is king. he's a 1-year-old american bulldog mix with a lot of energy. judging by that performance he'll probably find a new home very soon. that remine mooindss me of the

dog show. a little dog ran across the ring when it wasn't his turn. this dog could steal his spotlight. thanks for making us part of your morning. no 5:00 or 6:00. instead it's sunday night fabl.
