simply does not believe it will reduce addiction, in part because there's no requirement that people seek treatment and also pointed to federal laws which ban the sites. supporters say it would have cut down on overdoses and gotten drugs off the street. london breed said in part, quote, i'm disappointed the governor has vetoed this important public health bill. safe injection sites save lives. if we're going to prevent overdoses and connect people to services and treatment they badly need to stop using drugs in the first place. we need safe injection sites. that was london breed there. governor brown singh two billso access police videos public within 45 days of an officer-involved shooting. there is an exception if releasing the video interferes with an investigation. the second bill by nancy skinner gives access to internal police investigation records.

fall is finally here... and in good monday morning. a live look at freemont. 4:45 this morning. few people on the road. mike will have a look at that commute in just a moment. fall, we know is finally here and in utah, that means massive pumpkins. people from across the area trek their oversized pumpkins to umpkin rower's weigh off.e utah they are known as atlantic giants and most come from the seeds of a massive pumpkin that competed for the heaviest title pumpkin festival for the big gourds. >> what's interesting to see is how they carve them as well. >> i thought they just smashed them. >> nope. >> make pumpkin pie, filling.

>> all right. so we're in the mood for fall and now we have some rain in the forecast. so that just seals the deal. as we get a look at storm ranger this morning it's all quiet and for the most of the bay area you don't have to worry about lugging around the umbrella today unless in the north bay where we will have a slight chance of rain. we've seen some of the spotty showers over the weekend moving through. well now we're watching another disturbance that's just offshore and as that moves closer another shot of some rain as we head into the day. most of us not seeing it until tomorrow. here's a look at future cast, spotty showers moving into the north bay, mostly farther to the north and sonoma and napa counties for the morning and spotty rain. once again this is north of the golden gate bridge. into tonight we start to see that rain getting a little bit heavier as this system moves closer and then that rain starts to spread from north to south and to the bay area in time for

tomorrow morning's commute for san francisco and the peninsula and then eventually into san jose as we go into late tomorrow morning early afternoon. this will be the kind of rain that will be scattered and it will be hard to put in exact timing on exact locations. we will at any point throughout the day tomorrow have those rain chances that may linger into early wednesday morning. this looks pretty good. as we look at our rainfall totals and how much to for today this goes through 11:00 tonight we're only going to see light amount for ukiah and santa rosa, a tenth of an inch farther to the north. once the heavier rain gets here we could measure three quarters of an inch in santa rosa for tomorrow evening and the rest of the bay area seeing light amounts. san jose less than 0.1 of an inch and those rain totals for the east bay light rainfall totals, about a quarter inch or

less. temperatures today will reach into the low 80s and feel muggy as we get ready for a humid day and highs for the upper 70s. more about this coming up and you're still tracking the road crews. >> most not preventing a problem as far as the speed sensors go. all over the bay a great drive. bottom of the screen, southbound 85 approaching 87, slowing over the last few minutes. usually that means one of the few vehicles there going slower than the rest. we'll track that. the big issue is the closure that continues for the nimitz in oakland, southbound 880 just seen the whole stretch approaching 23rd down red to orange and means there's improvement for the speeds and maybe less traffic flow or have cleared the traffic break which periodically happened as crews start to clear. should be clear in the next ten minutes for the overhead road work going on overnight southbound 880 expect some delay towards 23rd.

the bay bridge, a smooth drive throughout basically all of the county towards the maze and bridge itself, cash lanes and a couple folks waiting over there. remember in the city san francisco freemont street closed underneath the trns aansit cent because of that, ac transit moving to temporary facilities like last week that will continue. bart is unaffected and we track the situation with the developments over the weekend. that may be an issue for folks that travel across the bay bridge if you didn't do this last week, the freemont street exit will backup and may have one lane closed as you get there. closed off the bus lane because you can't get to the transit center on the busses anyway. a distraction for folks you will slow west across that skyway approaching san francisco. across the san mateo bridge no changes. back to you. >> as we get closer to the midterm elections our investigative unit is taking a

look at contributions to campaigns. >> money coming from oil and gas industry, here's victimive reporter stephen stock. >> reporter: we tracked money given to the oil and gas industry to state political leaders, causes and california. we found that in a system where money talks, the oil and gas industry is one of the loudest. just consider this fact, according to state campaign data oil and gas companies here in green, california, spent more money on state politics than in north dakota, montana, new mexico and texas combined. >> you take oil industry money you can't stop drilling in the state. don't claim you're a climate leader if you're not willing to stop fossil fuels and fossil>> n inordinate power in sacramento. >> they do have power, not as much as the insurance companies or labor union, not as much as

the -- >> the pharmaceuticals, they all got power. you got to be able to stand up and say no to people. if you think you can run a campaign for governor to raise $100 million on chump change, you don't understand politics. >> reporter: find out how much money and influence we're talking about when we investigate campaign contributions from the oil and gas industry. that's all tonight at 11:00. if you have a story tore our investiv call 1-888-996-tips or visit nbcbayarea.com/investigations. three films topped t featur king of los angeles. >> night school staring kevin hart and tiffany haddis one. the company has earned $28 million in ticket sales and number two, "small foot" featuring new laker lebron james. he's voicing a yeti there.

students wearing lettered shirts and taking photos of preapproved words. last friday's sonocial media threats kept students away from the high school game and some tried to downplay what happened while others understood the anger. >> as a student here i feel embarrassed. like lots of people from how bad escondido >> some kids were involved and they're not racist and it was a joke that went way too far. >> the district and police are investigating. school leaders said the students involved will be disciplined and that message of racism whill no be tolerated. hunter pens is not retiring. >> if this was his last game with the giants you could say he rode off into the sunset. the team decided to honor the
