spots where they're seeing a lot of these incidents that they're occurring in and what they're referring to as their robbery suppression detail. they're aggressively looking to hire more officers. nearly 40 positions they're looking to fill in the next year and a half many an aggressive effort by bart. another big issue for bart is fare evision and they gave us the numbers. what we're learning from those numbers is that those fare evasion numbers, those tolls were fairly high the months of february and march but took a dip in may through june. i want to point out that's when bart police ramped up its focus on this specific issue spot in those specific months from may through june the overall incidents are down 20%. the citations down nearly 30% and field interviews rartding fare evasion incidents down nearly 20%. and bart tells us the number of fare evasion incidents in august unfortunately nearly doubled those june numbers. and when it comes to fare evasion, it costs the bart system overall more than $25 million annually every year.

we're live in walnut creek, pete suratos for "today in the bay ". and pete's talking about one part of bart where we're trying to make improvements and evaluation. right now we're following bigger delays because of bart, equipment problem. unspecified. the friend of our desk is checking with bart to get more detail to give us a better idea about how long it might take but it's developed in over 20 minutes delay on the peninsula and likely will ripple throughout the system if it doesn't clear up soon. meanwhile look at the roadways and a good option for you to carpool pr that bart station and maybe get on the roadway there and take the train, caltrain desperate from there as well. we have slowing south 880 toward industrial, it looks like the crash may have moved to the shoulder but it was in lanes for a few. well. >> everyone's looking ahead to the weekend, of course we want to know that forecast. we know it's going to be a hot one. >> we're all planning around this weather with extreme temperatures expect and it will still be dangerously hot on

car dell waters is still on the loose. investigators say all the members of the swuv team are a north richmond gang. the men are being tied to three murders, 14 attempted murders, car jackings, robberies, and home invasion robbery in free noont actually helped lead to the arrest. security video inside a home provided the major break they needed. also new this morning, police released this shot audio linked to deadly shooting last november 6 an ain't teen-year-old richmond man in which 68 shots were fired. [ gunshots ]. >> it's almost hard to believe. police say another shooting of an orinda school board member. this newly released video show some of the arsenal the gang members actually used in their crimes. a quarter to 6:00 now, switching gears, president trump will meet with his treasury

secretary today, talk about tax cuts. >> scott mcgrew here and we're still waiting for those details about who benefits and how. >> they say there's a plan but we use that plan -- word plan loosely because we haven't seen much beyond bullet points. the president spoke about it in missouri on wednesday. >> and i am fully committed to working with congress to get this job done. and i don't want to be disappointed by congress, you understand me? >> now, there are two big questions. one, if you're going cut revenue you have to cut spending unless you want to be throw gasoline on the deficit. but there's no clear plan to cut spending to match the proposed cuts in taxes. and we in california are waiting to hear if we're still going to be able to deduct what we pay in state taxes from our federal taxes. we can now, but under the new plan we might not. some critics are wondering if the president should have been talking about tax cuts after he left texas. this is maybe not the right time to talk about reducing federal

coffers, they say, when the nation is facing such a big bill from the storm. meanwhile, on twitter some people are criticizing president obama for playing golf during hurricane katrina wondering where was obama when ka treene april hit? on vacation and didn't answer for three days. now i know you're probable li ahead of me on this one. barack obama was not president when katrina hit louisiana, george bush was. and you would think people know that simply because they remember it. back up enough people have questioned it. snopes has created a new page explaining the reason president obama did not fly air force twoun louisiana after hurricane ka treene april hit was because he wasn't the president, wouldn't be for several years. snopes also says it suspects many 69 twitter users that claim obama was president at the time are actually russian bots. hey, you know who's not a russian bot? me. you can reach me on twitter.
