in the san jose area in decades. but if the dam fails, flooding would be catastrophic, threatening lives and homes. people who live below have criticized the district for not starting construction sooner. scientists just started evaluating the site to prepare design work this spring. a final design is expected to be completed by the end of thor kwrao. but construction still will not begin until 2022. the water strict is giving people in the area a better idea of exactly where this project stands at a public meeting tonight. that meeting is scheduled to begin at 6:00. it is in the morgan hill community and cultural city. thom jensen, "today in the bay". 6:10. okay. so imagine messing up at work right in front of your boss's boss's boss. >> what the flight attendant accidentally done to the ceo of american airlines. plus, the very first

yesterday. still gusty. winds come in from the northwest at 22 miles per hour. we're heading up to 70 in milpitas today. and for the east bay, also up to 70 in martinez. oakland, expect a high of 69. 63 in daly city. for san francisco, reaching 64 on the embarcadero. mill valley today, expect a high of 68 degrees. it is all clear out there. expanding into the pacific. even the storm system that i was watching has pretty much dried up. the only thing we will be watching for tomorrow is a few spotty showers that may move into the coast as the next system moves in. it looks like most of us will see partly cloudy to mostly cloudy skies and show a little bit of rain tomorrow afternoon for the coast. but most of us not seeing any rain. i just posted this picture on facebook. i'm@karihallweather. you will see what all of these papers mean. i have a lot of work to do. i'm sharing my personal stories and journeys with autism on

account. we had $26.50 in credit left at the time he died. so bob closed the account and sent in the toll tag. but fastrak only refunded 6. $50 of the $26.50. so what happened? we asked fastrak. now, the heart of the hangup here appears to be the security deposit on the toll tag. here's what we learned. when you cancel a fastrak account, you have to return the toll tag to get your security deposit back and refunds can take up to 30 days because fastrak bills monthly. as for bob's case, a mix of miscommunication and confusion involving the timeline for account closure. bottom line, it sent him the other $20 within the next billing cycle. if a consumer problem is taking its toll and you want an express lane, give us a buzz at 1-888-996-tips or nbcbayarea.com.

workers here throughout the uc system, especially here. specifically here at ucsf in parnassas. we're told it would start at 9:00 a.m. but it is under way in front of the location here in san francisco. and this strike is around similar concerns from past strikes. this is a specific charge against the uc system when it comes to workplace retaliation. the union representing the uc workers filed an unfair labor practice charged against the uc system alleging illegal contact. the charge specifically cites unlawful interference by the uc system ranging from workplace retaliation to threats of police citation for picketing. now, in general, workers are concerned over the outsourcing of jobs and income inequality, something they feel is being salvaged by the uc system. however, the uc does see things

differently. a portion of a statement they sent us regarding today's strike. i want to pull it up for our viewers. this is just a portion of it. uc believes that the union, ufscme is nothing more than a blatant attempt to justify yet another strike. for the first time in under a year, union leaders will try, and again fail, to distract bargaining concessions from the university through economic pressure, at the continued expense of patients, students, and communities statewide. that is a portion of the statement from the uc system. i want to take you back out here live to the strike that is under way by workers with ucsf. when it comes to the impact on patients, we know the emergency department will remain open, as well as ambulatory clinics. picketing is currently under way behind me, followed by a rally at 12:00 p.m. live in san francisco, pete suratos for "today in the bay". thanks so much, pete. now to a follow-up of a measles warning in san francisco.

it seems very unlikely, marcus. now, it's the irs which is responsible for turning those forms over to congress. but remember the head of the irs works for the secretary of treasury, who works for trump. here's steve mnuchin. >> when we received the request, it would be reviewed by our legal department. and it is our intent to follow the law. and that is in the process of being reviewed. >> now, the law he's talking about, section 6103 says the irs shall furnish the tax returns at the request of the chairman of the house ways and means committee. the white house argued because americans elected donald trump without seeing his tax returns the matter has already been, quote, litigated, though that's not what litigated means. bernie sanders, meanwhile, hasn't turned over his tax returns but now says he will as soon as monday. sanders says he and his wife do
