(whispers) gimme. (confused) give me the bag? get hefty ultra strong at a low price right now at 5:00, making a major move to assist people in the south bay. google makes a massive investment as part of its plan downtown west development in san jose. ahead in a live report who the money stands to when it fit most. has it hit you now, your new life, not even your new job, why you are new life? >> you know i'm so task oriented. >> an exclusive one on one interview with vice president of the united states. the interview with kamala harris you'll only see right here on nbc bay area. also the top issues harris says she's focusing on. and a major northern california health leader now providing covid vaccinations to anyone over the age of 16 starting today.

how you can get your appointment. "today in the bay" continues now. >> a very good tuesday morning. thank you for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm marcus washington. breaking news the major change to become eligible to receive the covid-19 vaccine in the country. nbc news has learned president biden is expected to announce this afternoon that states should make all american adults eligible for the vaccine by april 19th. the deadline was earlier set for may. of course, california already moved up its deadline to next thursday, april 15th for anyone 16 and up. most states have already announced plans to open eligibility to all adults by that date. president biden is also expected to emphasize the u.s. reached 150 million shots in the first 75 days of his administration. and vice president kamala harris this morning is scheduled to travel to chicago on the heels of her visit here in the bay area and oakland. "today in the bay's" tracie potts has an exclusive look at her first trip home since becoming vice president.

tracie? >> hey, marcus, good morning, everyone. the vice president is off to chicago today to do the same thing she was doing in the bay area trying to sell the president's $2.2 trillion infrastructure plan, the american jobs plan. she visited with a small business while in town talking about the impact of the pandemic. she also joined governor newsom for a visit at the east bay mud san leandro water treatment plant. nbc bay area's raj mathai spoke exclusively with the vice president during her trip saying that the infrastructure plan she said is not just about fixing roads and bridges, she says there's a lot more even though there are a lot of those in california. >> it's also about human infrastructure and caregiving economy. all the jobs we create in in infrastructure, folks have kids that need day care or child care.

they have parents that need care and support. >> raj asked what her new life is like as vice president. she's been focused on this, not so much on adjusting to her new life but here's what she had to say about that. >> it's long, good days. that's what it is, it really is. and joe biden's a really cool dude. he really is. i love working with him. >> all right, so sounds like she's adjusting. one of the things she has to adjust to of course is presiding over those 50/50 votes in the senate. republicans have been opposed to this infrastructure plan. they don't like the extra tax or the increased tax on corporate america to pay for it and they think some of those things that she was talking about, child care and other things should not be part of this plan, that they are not traditional infrastructure projects.

so that's what she's up against in washington but sounded like it was a nice visit to be back home for the first time. >> absolutely. good to have her back home but it was kind of cool to hear her say her boss is a "really cool dude." you describe your boss that way, must be nice. >> right. >> thanks, tracie. we have more of the exclusive interview with vice president kamala harris. raj mathai asked a lot of questions even about 2024. you can hear all of her answers on our website nbcbayarea.com, that story on the main page. and for people struggling to make it in the bay, the idea of a massive new development may sound daunting but today san jose mayor sam liccardo will unveil what the city gets out of google's proposed downtown west project. >> "today in the bay's" kris sanchez joins us live in san jose with details for people who already live there. good morning, kris. >> reporter: good morning to you. this is just one of the parcels of land that google acquired with the idea of developing a

large swathe of downtown san jose and we're getting a better idea of what this development is going to look like. we already knew that it was a 250-acre development that would bring office space to downtown san jose for google workers, plus housing and some open space and recreation areas because it's a deal that's been in the works for years. according to the mayor's office, just released this morning, this is a package of community benefits that includes $155 million in a stabilization and opportunity fund, $7.5 million in job readiness and anti-displacement money, $7 million in moderate income housing, $8.4 million land transfer to the city which the city could then use for affordable housing and then there's about $22 million that is at the end unallocated according to the mayor's office. next on the calendar will be several hearings before the full project goes before the planning commission and then ultimately the full council in may.

this project has not been without opposition. a lot of people are worried that google developing this massive amount of land could lead to an even more difficult housing market and ultimately more homelessness. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> time will tell. we'll see how it goes. thanks, kris. 5:05 right now -- 5:06 i should say. san francisco school leaders expected to officially hit pause on renaming more than 40 schools. the plan is triggering and has been a lot of controversy. "today in the bay's" cierra johnson joining us live. some of this no doubt due to legal pressure. >> reporter: good morning. yes, it involves legal pressure and that's not the first legal issue the district has been involved in this entire school year. the district has continuously made headlines for issues not directly related to the students and this is another example of the renaming process could be officially paused tonight when

the district's commissioner also vote on adopting a resolution to formally pause the renaming process, a move that could avoid costly litigation because of a lawsuit filed by commissioners of one of the high schools in question in the decision to rename more than 40 schools. this meeting will stand out for another reason, today's board meeting will be the first since commissioner allison collins was stripped of her vice president position over racially-charged tweets she posted years ago. collins has remained adamant she will not be resigning from her position and while the meeting plays out, thousands of bay area parents are still waiting for the return of their child to the classroom, that was the subject of a lawsuit filed by the city in a move made too late to receive funds allocated by governor newsom as students were in class by that march 31st deadline. for some parents we spoke with, the renaming process has simply been a distraction. >> it's a bit frustrating unfortunately because we are one of the sites where a second

grader might be going back for five days for a very shortened amount of time during the day, but my fourth grader will only be going back for two days. >> reporter: so it will be a jam-packed meeting. we will of course keep you updated on whether that vote passes or fails to pause the renaming process and any other updates that come out of that school meeting. we're live in san francisco, cierra johnson for "today in the bay." >> thanks so much, cierra. happening today three more bay area counties may be in line to enter the less restrictive tiers. that includes contra costa, sonoma and napa counties. the move would mean winery tasting rooms could reopen at 25% capacity, so could bowling alleys. as for indoor dining, movie theaters and places of worship, they could increase their capacity to 50%. the uc davis is providing

vaccines to those 16 and older. this is all when patients and non-patients alike, they can sign up on the uc davis health website. >> so how is the bay area doing with the vaccine rollout? this map shows the percentage of people over 16 with at least one shot already. marin county now has 60%. sonoma and contra costa counties above 50%. santa clara county is at about 40%, but as of this morning, distributed 1 million doses. napa county has not been updating its vaccination rate so far. developing this morning, federal civil rights attorney john burris announcing a new lawsuit in the wake of a deadly police shooting in danville. here's video from the scene it happened. a 32-year-old homeless man died along with a new lawsuit burris plans to present new video of the shooting. this morning we've decided not to air that video because it's

disturbing. police were responding to reports of rocks being thrown into interstate 680. the department has not commented on the new video clip but in the past, it said williams was armed with a knife. new detail this is morning on the recently enacted street crisis response program in san francisco. it provides civilian response to mental health related 911 calls rather than a police officer. "the examiner" reports the program will be expanding to the bay area district. this will be the third team deployed in the city following one in the tenderloin and later in the mission castro area. our climate in crisis coverage continues this morning. a grim warning from san jose state climate experts ahead of the wildfire season. they're sampling the moisture in plants, which give them an idea of how hot fires are likely to burn, and spread. moisture is usually at its highest point in april, but because of a lack of rain that we've been having, some plants

right now aren't even growing. statewide, more than 4 million acres burned last fire season. >> that's not good news when it comes to that. meteorologist kari hall has been tracking what we can expect, taking a live look at the bay bridge and you see cars moving along. hey, look who we have here with us this morning. >> good morning! >> mike is here. >> well, yeah, i was over hanging out in my house, hey, why don't i check on you guys. >> good to have you around. >> not doing much. >> we'll get to the commute in a bit. you got some making up to do. but first of all, we start out with kari. let's talk about that, the moisture that we're seeing. >> yes. so the soil and the vegetation that moisture consent that they go out and measure is really important and definitely something that we need to keep an eye on, because of the amount of fuels that we have out there, so i know this is a lot of information on the screen, but

they're just saying it looks really grim out there, because of how dry the vegetation is. so we will of course keep you up to date on that. let's head over to mike for an update on the commute. >> all right, kari. you know, you're talking about the fire risk and we're talking about the north bay where we had a lot of fires traditionally over the last couple of years. we're hoping for different news this year. my traffic picks us up as we zoom in toward the stretch of closed roadway overnight until 6:00 a.m., the eastbound interchange before getting to the cor delia lane junction. the next couple of nights it will be closed through friday so keep that in mind. opening by 6:00. everything else is clear. back to you. >> thanks so much. 5:12 right now. this year, uber making a lot of changes to its app for drivers and riders in california. but now we're learning the move

backfire. coming up next on "today in the bay," the negative impact that it's having on service across the state and why your ride share may have been affected. plus -- >> there was a war. and they're the last ones standing. >> looks exciting, right? you know what, movie theaters applauding the monster box office the renewed hope after godzilla versus kong set ticket sales on fire and how wall street is responding. you're watching "today in the bay."

this unplugged device is protecting

our beautiful coastlines and more. put off chores and use less energy from 4 to 9 pm to help keep our state golden.

right now at 5:15, as you make plans to head out today, it's going to be another beautiful day. pittsburg will enjoy sunshine, warming temperatures into the low 70s. coming up in a few minutes we'll talk about our climate in crisis and some of the vision that biden has more conservation, coming up in a few minutes. all right, good update, kari, looking toward the roadways and a quick look at the san mateo bridge shows you a good, steady volume of traffic, both directions but westbound a little heavier, the commute direction to the peninsula. we'll show you more coming up. good morning and a very happy tuesday to you as well. there is a nationwide ketchup shortage. we'll get to that in a second. but first there's a new tool to figure out if you are one of the millions of people to fall victim to the latest data breach in facebook. over the weekend we learned someone gained access to lots of

data including phone numbers, now a trustworthy web side called have i been pwned has put the phone numbers in a database where you can look. the website is haveibeenpwned.com. the website creator spelled owned with a p, it's an old video game slang term. you can spell it "have i been owned" and type in your phone number with the country code. for that, most of us that's the number one. that's the way the database holds the number. phone numbers are complicated in the way that different countries handle them. so plus 1 and then your area code and phone number all together. i'll put those instructions up on facebook and twitter as well so you can follow them.

don't try calling the numbers on the screen. numbers that start in 555 are all fiction. the supreme court told a lower federal court to drop a case against former president donald trump and his twitter account. the president can't block people from responding to what he says. the supreme court said that the whole thing was moot because trump isn't president anymore and the people who brought the suit agreed because trump's not on twitter anymore. more records for the stock market as good news continues to flow in, the dow hit 33,500 and change. s&p at july time highs as well. also not in the red your french fries. the "wall street journal" has gotten a careful look at the ketchup supplies and found it lacking partially because of the takeout, fries and ketchup being consumed and the restaurants reopening as well. so the shortage is severe in ketchup packets, marcus and laura.

you may not notice or you may notice you get a few in a bag, not many. now the industry called those pacte packets sachette, pod of whales, murder of crows, a field of mustard and a delight of relish, i believe. >> so poetic so early this morning. thanks, scott. new this morning, major shift for uber drivers. the ride sharing service may stop sharing destinations in their prices. drivers are cherry picking lucrative rides leaving 20% of users without rides. uber made the changes before the vote on ab5, california's worker law. hollywood's box office suddenly roaring again. >> the news "godzilla versus kong" made nearly $50 million in

the box office, the most since the pandemic started. [ roaring ] >> it's godzilla. >> oh, yes, it's godzilla. the film brought in all the cash and also stream streaming on hbo max. special effects are a big hit on the big screen and it's losing stock for amc theaters which at one point rose 15% yesterday. as the industry starts to rebound a new movie based on peeps candies is reportedly in the work. is this not an april fool's joke in the animated film will follow the marshmallow treats on a trip to pennsylvania where the treats are produced. >> going to be a cute one i'm sure. >> oh, my. a real news outlet, anything could happen on live tv, including this, an anchor from a tv in moscow, a reporter for a weather report, look at that. the dog jumps up, grabs the microphone and runs off and she goes running right after the dog, like give me my microphone.

don't let go of the mic. she chases the dog after a while and reports that the dog at her side you see right here with her, the weather still great there even for walking dogs out there, i guess. a little windy, too, you could tell you about a was that a hoax? i don't know, you take my mic, i'm not going to bring you back on. >> she shouldn't have had a microphone that looks like exactly like the batons they throw for retrieval. >> right. that's what i was thinking. >> my microphone is shaped like a tennis ball. >> there you go. >> good thing you have your mic clipped to you right there. >> exactly t looks like a chew toy so shhh, my dog is still asleep just like binks. on the roadways, folks are just waking up in good fashion and mostly green on the sensors which is great. the altamont pass, highway 84 mild slowing again like

yesterday we'll see lighter traffic than your normal tuesday, because it's spring break for a lot of schools that affects the pattern. it did last year during the pandemic, shutdown start first happened. my gst gosh, let's get the maps on the screen since my words aren't work so long well. a smooth drive. the north bay has that fairfield closure eastbound 80 until highway 12 that goes on until 6:00 a.m. here the bay bridge toll plaza and in a backup for i-80. kari i see the flags flapping a bit, what we have today and in the future, i guess. >> yes, it doesn't look like there's a lot of people out right now, but hopefully it stays nice and quiet as we start out this morning, so the breeze and a few clouds moving by and hopefully you'll have a chance to get out and enjoy today with all of this sunshine, nice comfortable temperatures heading out for a hike today, it will start out cloudy, and then gradually clear as we go throughout the morning. but by the afternoon we're seeing temperatures in the east bay reaching into the mid-60s

once again another really nice and comfortable day. oakland will reach 65 degrees, martinez looking at a high of 68 and 70 today for spots like concord and livermore, as well as morgan hill, and in santa rosa. so our temperatures are coming up a few more, the high pressure remains across the region and it's going to keep our rain chances away for not only today but the next several days. it doesn't look like it's going to budge. so our dry weather continues at least it's not extremely hot. we are going to trend a few more degrees warmer over the next few days with our inland areas in the upper 60s. mid-70s for the weekend, and san francisco here we'll see temperatures in the mid-60s and today's climate in crisis, let's talk about what president biden has planned for climate change in his action, climate action is one of his top priorities for his presidency, and one very ambitious plan is to make 30% of our country conservation land by

the year 2030 and as of now, we have about 18% of that land considered as protected land and it will take about the size of california four times over to reach that goal. >> in recent surveys, over 80% of both republicans and democrats and everyone along in between supportive of healthy nature, and but the big part of that is being able to access it, and it is certainly having access to green space not just in wilderness areas but in our urban areas. >> we had a really interesting talk. you could watch the full interview at nbcbayarea.com, click on "climate in crisis." we'll have more coming up after this break.

this couple is working hard on our state's recovery. you see, they live in california and keeping their vacation in california supports our small businesses and communities. which means that beautiful baby gherkin atop this charcuterie masterpiece is like another brick in the rebuilding of our economy. job well done friends. calling all californians. keep your vacation here and help our state get back to work. and please travel responsibly.

5:27. new details, denver is the host of this year's all-star game. major league pulled the game from atlanta after georgia passed what some consider restrictive voting laws. this will be the second time the mile-high city has hosted the mid summer classic. [ muted ] -- we're following today including backpack action computer and documents. more colleges requiring students to prove they're vaccinated before returning to campus. we'll have the latest schools adding new fuel to the debate. condemning the hate, the new

action one bay area county is taking in the rise of asian-american attacks.

right now at 5:30, on the verge of easing more covid restrictions. the bay area counties that could soon be rolling forward with reopenings. also what it all means for you. plus -- think for the next couple of months, we're going to have this

kind of awkward situation. >> a positive sign in the fight against the pandemic. however, doctors are warning californians not to ease up on taking precautions just yet. and the minneapolis police chief takes a stand during the derek chauvin trial. what he said about the former officer's actions in the death of george floyd. "today in the bay" continues right now. >> it's tuesday, a terrific tuesday and good morning to you. i'm marcus washington. >> and i'm laura garcia. parts of the east bay and north bay could be allowed to loosen their covid-19 restrictions. "today in the bay's" bob redell joins us live from contra costa county this morning, one of three counties that could soon move into the orange tier. pretty exciting, bob. >> reporter: correct. good morning to you, laura and marcus. later today, the state could announce contra costa county where i'm at in san ramon along with napa and sonoma could announce they've all met their criteria for lower rates of infection and therefore can move from the red tier to the less

restrictive orange tier of reopening. look at your tv screen, gives you a sense of what this means for the businesses. this means wipery tasting rooms can reopen at 25% capacity. bars can reopen as long as they're outdoors only. indoor dining, churches, movie theaters they can move up to 50% capacity indoor, gyms, fitness centers, bowling alleys, 25% capacity, offices can reopen indoor with modifications. solano county would be the only county that is still in the red tier if these counties move to orange. solano it too could take a step not forward orange tier but backwards into the purple tier. the county's health director warned us people needed to be careful over the holiday easter weekend to prevent a surge in cases that could send solano back to the purple. solano was the first to open up vaccinations to people 50 or older in the bay area in an

attempt to keep the rates of infection down but the majority of the new cases reportedly had been among younger people, people who are under 50 and not eligible for the vaccine yet. an infectious disease expert says people need to stay vigilant. right now 70% roughly of all californians still have not received the vaccine, that means they still want you to keep your mask on and avoid congregating in large groups. reporting live in san ramon, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you. an all new time low in california's covid positivity rate. look at it right here. 1.6% and that's the lowest rate of any spread this is in any state, even hawaii. experts say slowly reopening and getting people vaccinated, those are important parts of how this all happens. it's also helping to slow the spread of the virus but it's not yet time to celebrate. >> with easter and family gatherings are we going to see a

bump like we did at thanks giving last year or more like a minor bump like we saw at new year's? >> there are also new variants to consider. stanford researchers just identified a double mutant variant here in the bay area. another concern is sports. clusters are linked to young people taking the field. the agency is urging people to continue to avoid crowds and wear those masks. new this morning, we are learning how much bay area schools are getting from the state for restarting in-person learning. according to palo alto online, palo alto unified is set to receive nearly $11 million. mountain view's los altos high school union district will get more than a half million from the state. as for the menlo park city school district it's about $2.5 million. this is part of more than $6 billion in state stimulus fund the state passed as incentive for the school districts to bring students back to class. students in six colleges

need to have covid vaccinations proof of vaccination before they can actually return to college. cornell, rutgers, ft. lewis college in colorado, nova southeastern university in florida, st. edwards university in texas and roger williams university in rhode island are requiring students to be fully vaccinated before the fall begins. there will be exceptions for medical, religious or other reasons. rutgers executive vp says colleges owe their students a normal campus experience. >> we think that in creating the safest campus in america, the best way and place to start is with our students and we want to give them back their college experience. >> even more colleges are looking at the vaccine requirement, no word if any bay area colleges just yet. the "today" show goes in depth into the debate after "today in the bay."

testimony in the derek chauvin trial. >> nbc's gabe gutierrez has more on the trial in minneapolis and more. >> reporter: laura and marcus, good morning. it is highly unusual for a police chief to testify against his or her mission but he evase rated derek chauvin for placing his knee on his neck for more than nine minutes. >> to continue to apply that level of force to a person proned out, handcuffed behind their back, that in no way shape or form is anything that is by policy. it is not part of our training. >> reporter: the chief saying

that chauvin absolutely violated policy. now chauvin's defense team is arguing that an angry crowd of bystanders distracted the officers and that floyd died due to his drug use and underlying health conditions. today we're expecting a prosecution witness, a police inspector, to return for cross-examination. then more use of force experts and more medical experts later this week. a motions hearing is also scheduled to discuss whether to quash the subpoena for the passenger in george floyd's vehicle. back to you in the bay area. >> thanks, gabe. 5:37. san mateo county supervisors today will debate a resolution to condemn anti-asian violence and declare the county a hate-free zone. in oakland the man accused of the deadly attack of an elderly asian man at lake merritt is due to enter a plea. 26-year-old teone bailey faces murder and robbery charges. last month investigators say he robbed 75-year-old pak ho who

struck his head on the ground and later died. prosecutors are not calling this a hate crime. happening now, the army corps of engineers now taking the lead in the effort to stop the possible collapse of the toxic wastewater reservoir in florida. for most of yesterday, concerns ran high about a possible second breach but those concerns were eventually put to rest. nearby homes are evacuated amidst concerns hundreds of millions of gallons may burst through. crews are now trying to drain the water, which contains storm runoff and chemicals from a nearby phosphorous mine. florida's governor declared a state of emergency. happening now in southern california, red flag warnings in place, this comes after a second straight day of brush fires. one of those fires in los angeles national forest burned 60 acres. no buildings were damaged so far, but that's very concerning this early in the season. >> absolutely. we were just talking about that report earlier, kari, that you know, the trees and plants don't

have a lot of moisture in them so if fires start, they could spread quickly. >> yes, and so unfortunate that we're talking about this in early april, and so as we're starting out today, just be mindful of that as you make your way through the east bay, heading out to work this morning. no flicking those cigarettes out the car. really don't like to see people do that. as we look at how dry it is and all the sunshine in the forecast, our temperatures will be in the upper 40s and then making it into the low 60s by noon today. talk about what's ahead in our forecast coming up. mike, how is that commute around the bay area? >> looking a little better to the north bay. we're looking at eastbound 80 where there was overnight closure, kari, we've been talking about that, it's going to go on the rest of the week from 10:00 p.m. until 6:00 the following morning but about 5:15 they started picking up the cones, speeds improving, a little bit of slowing past red top road. remember that suggested reroute would be eastbound 780 getting over toward 680 but you can go

over that as well. a lot of folks in the city are saying ooh, too many city streets. over here just enough people on the bay bridge to show slowing up the incline and treasure island. no major problems. a blip in san jose on our terrific tuesday, marcus, the traffic is not bad either. >> good to hear there, mike. san francisco leaders debate how to best provide rent relief for landlords struggling to make it in the bay. at stake, according to "the examiner" $54 million in federal funds. those funds are meant to assist those landlords waiting back rent from struggling tenants, though last fall pandemic related unpaid rent was already north of $100 million. the new ordinance would prioritize the smaller mom and pop landlords and allow corporate landlords to negotiate directly with renters. also happening today, in san francisco, transit leaders plan to vote on adding nine new corridors to the city's slow streets program, it would close

areas to vehicle traffic to create more social distancing for pedestrians and bikers post pandemic. this latest round of closures focuses on nine historically underserved neighborhoods, including parts of inner sunset, sunnyside and ansa vista. 27 other city streets are already part of that program. have you gotten the covid vaccine just yet? next here on "today in the bay" we'll talk about the importance of holding on your confirmation card and what you can actually do if you misplace it or if it's stolen. we'll have the latest on the infrastructure push in washington, plus mitch mcconnell wants corporations to stay out of politics. we have our fact check ready. plus celebrating a championship. the victory lap for stanford women's basketball team after they return home and one coach winning over a lot of fans, even though her team lost to the cardinal. the halftime move she made that has moms everywhere still calling her a champion. you're watching "today in the bay."

majestic mountains... scenic coastal highways... fertile farmlands... there's lots to love about california. so put off those chores

and use less energy from 4 to 9 pm when less clean energy is available. because that's power down time.

food tuesday morning. 5:43, making plans for a morning run or bike ride, in san mateo we'll see temperatures in the upper 40s and a cloudy start with sunshine later today, as our temperatures start to feel a little bit more comfortable. we'll talk about what's ahead in our forecast, that's coming up in a few minutes. and some folks are done planning getting out of the house and onto the roadways.

we see a little more slowing on the bay bridge, the tail lights westbound bunching up around the bend and flashing lights approaching treasure island. i'm tracking what's going on the span itself. there may be an issue coming over from oakland. we'll follow that coming up. >> thank you, mike. one step forward, one step back for president biden's infrastructure plan. >> scott, a ruling that he won't need 60 votes in the senate to get passed. >> that's right. the senate parliamentarian says democrats can if they wish pass it as part of the old budget, sort of going back in time really and that only takes 50 votes. that's the step forward. democrats have 50 senators, they've got kamala harris for the win, but the step back, democrat joe manchin of west virginia is one of those 50 and he says he will not vote for the bill if corporate tax proposals remain where they are. that's the step back, no manchin, no infrastructure bill the way it stands.

joe manchin arguably the most powerful senator in the whole capitol building. president biden's calls for a tax hike on corporations to pay for all those fixes to bridges and roads and other plans in the bill is higher than manchin would like. manchin says yes, hike taxes on big corporations, but not as high as biden wants to. the problem is manchin's proposal wouldn't come up with enough money to pay for everything in the biden plan. big companies like home depot and coca-cola and delta have spoken out against voter suppression, major league baseball as you know has moved the all-star game out of atlanta. this is all over georgia's voting laws. republican leader mitch mcconnell says he's had enough with this so-called woke corporation. >> i found it completely discouraging to fine a bunch of corporate ceos, getting in the middle of politics. my advice to the corporate ceos of america is to stay out of politics.

don't pick sides in these big fights. >> now normally mitch mcconnell is okay with corporations getting involved in politics and picking sides. he's noted for his ability to raise money for his campaign and his political action committee. "the washington post" calls him "the man who makes money talk.
