7:32 am
we could build on top of it. >> construction of presidio parkway began in december, 2009. for a full list of closures and alternate routes, go to nbcbayarea.com. click on the doyle drive closure box at the top of the page. a developing story out of the east bay. police need your help finding this woman, a missing 74-year-old. valentina matyushina was last seen as her walnut creek home yesterday before 3:00 in the afternoon. she has gray and brown hair, blue eyes. she's described as 4'11", weighs about 180 pounds. officers say she suffers from a medical condition and may be disoriented. she only speaks russian. if you see her, you're urged to call the walnut creek police. two college students behind bars after shooting of a prostitute in a north bay motel. it happened in rohnert park.

7:34 am
carolina state capitol. more controversial comments from donald trump. he was met with supporters and protesters. he not only criticized his competitors but current u.s. leaders, particularly regarding trade negotiations and touched on mexicans and immigration. >> mexico, i respect the country. they're taking our jobs, they're taking our manufacturing, they're taking our money. they're taking everything and killing us on the border. and mexico does not like us. so remember this. don't worry, we'll take our country back, very soon. >> despite those statements, trump believes he will win the latino vote because future policies will provide them jobs. more than 9,000 people reportedly attended that event.

7:36 am
respectful. >> reporter: do trump's criticisms contain truth? we consulted a dozen studies that look at 30 years of census data. less leaning groups found less crime, so did the pew research center which concluded first generation immigrants have a lower crime rate than native born citizens. one study from university of chicago crime lab expert pinpointed migration patterns and then crime data. his findings, 1 percentage point rise in immigrants led to 13% drop in rate. 2% drop in murder. nearly 20% rise in aggravated assault. what does it mean? >> when you think of what's driving crime, we don't think about immigration on the list, that's pretty well settled. >> stanford's robert wiseburg agrees. points out spike in immigration that began in the early '90s had a result.
7:37 am
>> that group had the most dramatic crime reduction in modern american history. >> reporter: trump may be talking up immigrant crime, but facts suggest one does not drive the other. many in the republican party are singing a softer tune nationally and locally. >> he should have toned it back. there's a problem along the border. we need to secure the border. i don't have any problems with mr. trump saying that, but it is the way he said it. >> reporter: i am sam brock. that's this edition of reality check. scientists in california are combing beaches this weekend looking for tar balls still floating around from the santa barbara oil spill that happened in may. tar balls have been washing up on beaches as far as 170 miles away. may 19th, the pipeline ruptured spilling 100,000 gallons of crude oil. a fifth of that into the ocean. most was cleaned up, they're

7:45 am
california are watching the 2016 presidential candidates seek their party nominations. these days, most observers in california are watching the 2016 presidential candidates seek their party nomination, but state voters may have their hands full from another source. dozens of statewide ballot propositions. larry gursten is here with news that could be challenging for us all. i can't even thank you enough for trying to break it down. what's it all about? >> california law makes it easy for people to qualify for the
7:46 am
statewide ballot. most proposals, commonly initiatives, appear by sponsor, $200 to pay the fee, then secure signatures from 5% of the voters who participated in the most recent governor's race. 5% is low to begin with, a low threshold. fact of the matter is beyond that the necessary number of voter signatures shrunk dramatically after the 2014 governor's election because of a low voter turnout. bottom line, the 2016 election, initiative sponsors need only 365,000 signatures out of a state of 38 million people to qualify their proposal. that's opened the flood gates. >> i'm sure. i'm in shock about that number. even i could get one. so can you give us an idea what we might be expecting? are we talking controversial issues, heavy issues, what types
7:47 am
of things? >> put it simply, all of the above. currently three issues have qualified for the november, 2016 ballot. one initiative makes it harder for the state to qualify for medical funds. the plastic bag ban, and allowing to suspend without pay legislators for wrongdoing. the last two are technically not initiative, called referendum. please, that's another story for another time. ballot proposal's dream is clogged now with 40 other proposals, 4-0, whose sponsors are attempting to get necessary 365,000 signatures. and there could be even more in months to come. many of these will fail to get the number of signatures but gosh, a sizable number, perhaps two dozen or more may qualify. voters are likely to be just so
7:48 am
inundated with campaign commercials that will make the presidential contest look like child's play. >> can't wait. can you give us an idea of issues that are currently circulating? >> best way to look at this in terms of categories, three main categories to look at, one, some are long shots to qualify because they won't draw enough interest or financial support from backers. one proposal would legalize ownership of ferries, i am sure that's on everybody's mind. another changes unemployment conditions for state university lectures. they're not likely to draw enough signatures. a second category centers on taxing and spending, that's always a good one. these might include things like new tax exemptions for homeowners, taxes on bottled water, tobacco tax. look for money to be spent here as these qualify. a third category is likely to
7:49 am
draw the most attention. here we're talking about right major social issues like repealing the new immunization law, legalizing marijuana, restricting abortion to name a few. if these qualify, they're likely to draw a lot of attention and heaviest financing in law. so much awaits us. >> so much. i hope i didn't offend any potential ferry owners out there, just not high on my list. what do we think, how do we prepare for this potential onslaught? there's so many topics covered under those. >> that's the most important question of all. the best thing to do here is watch closely for what qualifies and what doesn't. start with that. once campaigns begin, people need to ignore, sorry about this, ignore these campaign commercials. so many are misleading, learn about the individuals and organizations that support or
7:50 am
oppose these proposals, those can be valuable aids. bear in mind something else, ultimately many proposals may be thrown out by courts because of constitutional issues. all of this suggests we need a lot of patience to get through next year's election and do a lot of homework along the way. >> it is easy with all of the websites available to us, even pamphlets that come with your ballot that explain who supports which measure and all of that. >> first thing i do. who is for, who is against. then line yourself up. and it is not so bad. >> larry, thanks so much for joining us this morning. we have much more ahead on "today in the bay." who stole the ruby slippers, the priceless, iconic shoes from ""the wizard of oz" are missing." a big reward offered to bring them home. >> no place like home.

7:55 am
northwest that's not going to effect us much. another system, a tropical storm across the pacific equatorial region. those eventually change things for us. but not this week. both stay where they're at now. as we get closer to next weekend, we will see the systems impact us. meantime, the typical thunderstorms continue to fire up each and every day, thanks to the monsoon moisture. it will stay nice and dry here. san jose will be 80 today, east bay 83. same for tomorrow and tuesday. not until wednesday and thursday that the heat starts to crank. talking low 90s. nothing oppressive or unusual. and san francisco, notice temperatures there are comfortable. talking about a mix of low 70s all the way through wednesday and thursday. as i mention, that tropical storm delores is weak. it will strengthen into a
7:56 am
