your tv screen. black hall nunn partners. they want to build on 880 acre parcel of land with 80% of the homes designated for seniors. but in order for the city to accommodate this project. they need approval for the brentwood limit line. they need more than 3500 signatures on the november ballot. they got the signatures in the past week or so the opposition has formed a group called alliance for a better brentwood. you can see the alliance right there on the tv screen. they argue now is not the time for this development. brentwood needs to see how the infrastructure can handle the hundreds of other homes approved and awaiting construction. they worry about the noise and bad air quality brought on by this 20-year construction project. they are concerned about the extra stress on the fire district, which is deeply under funded and as i mentioned the

increased traffic in the area. >> i invite you to go at commute hours in front of the projects you built. go in front of somerset and the vineyards of march creek. will you see there isn't much traffic by the peak times in our community. >> we don't need to expand our limit line until we now how we will absorb our current plan. >> reporter: this property will be developed in brentwood or antioch by us or someone else. with us we have a history. you know what we have done. you know what we will do there. if not us, it will be somebody else. i'm not sure what that will bring. >> our goal is to make this the celebrator and remain county agricultural dry farmland until such a time as we need a change. >> black hawke nunn which has been developing here 30 years.

last year it was really hot this weekend. then this time it's going to be comfortable with highs up to about 70 degrees and then we'll have to watch out for those rain chances on sunday. if you are going to the sierra, this is a live look at squaw valley. it has been raining and snowing. we're going to see more of the same going into the weekend. so not the bright and sunny sierra weekend that we would hope for. then if you are going to russian river valley, it's going to be cool with highs in the upper 60s. cooling down even more on sunday with a high of 62 degrees. so i'm watching the forecast for all the events going on around the bay area. we get a look at today. that's coming up in about 3 minutes. >> sounds good, we'll check back with you. coming up on today in the bay, we are learning of payments to victims sparked by the utility's equipment. the amount that pg&e is setting aside a set of serious setbacks for the president this morning as he tries to stop information from getting out. and everyone knows the

president trying to keep his personal information away from congress. >> they say banks can show the president's accounts to those congressional investigators. >> that is the second judge, chris, to say something like that this week. earlier a judge said trump's account aunt's records were fair game and the post said the tax agency legally must turn over trump's taxes. something treasury secretary steven mnuchin has refused to d do. >> who at the irs would have made the decision not to run this memo up the chain? >> i have no idea. >> are you going to plan to find that out? >> we're trying to find out who pro the memo, where it came from, where it was and why it wasn't distributed. yes. >> on top of those things, the state of new york has passed a bill that the governor is expected to sign that would allow the state to turn trump's state tax returns over to congress. the taxes, the bank records, the
