no major hot spots. bay bridge wb 80 is less then 30 min from the maze to sf. san mateo bridge less then 30 min from 880 to 101. richmond bridge drive less than 20 min from the toll to 101. ( robin ) a proposal to hike tolls

at all bay area bridges except the golden gate could be coming soon. a committee of the bay area toll authority voted to put the resolution to the full board for a vote later this month. if it gets the green light, it will go on the june ballot - as regional measure 3. we spoke to commuters who say they are not happy about the proposal.

story we are following.... governor jerry brown has proposed a new budget for california .... as he begins his final year in office. pedro rivera has more on why some people are not happy with the governor's proposal. gov. jerry brown proposed a $131.7 billion spending plan wednesday, his last as california's governor.the proposal by the democrat is up 5 percent from last year's budget but largely avoids spending on new programs. it uses surplus money to boost the state's rainy day fund by $5 billion, which brown says is necessary to prepare for his prediction of a looming recession."it's not exciting, it's not funding good and nice things, but it's getting ready and that is the work of a budget," brown said.brown's budget plan comes as california wages a multi-front battle with republican president donald trump that has, so far, had little impact on the state's finances. california's tax collections over the past six months are billions above projections. brown's budget is his opening proposal in five months of spending negotiations with the legislature, which must approve a balanced budget by june 15. last year, he signed a $125 billion budget that boosted payments for medi-cal doctors and dentists who provide care for the poor and increased funding for education and social services. brown has generally shied away from new ongoing spending that he says the state can't afford to sustain, preferring to use

much of the state's higher revenue for one-time expenses like new state buildings or paying down debts for the pensions and health benefits of retired state workers.his caution often puts brown at odds with senior democrats in the legislature, who prefer to use the state's increasing inflow of tax revenues to lower college costs and strengthen california's social safety net for the needy. assembly democrats last month proposed $4.3 billion in new spending, including an expanded tax credit for the working poor and health coverage for immigrants living in the country illegally. they also proposed boosting reserves, including the state's rainy day fund, by $3.2 billion.brown, who leaves office in a year, has focused much of his second stint as governor on stabilizing the state's long-term budgeting during a period of fiscal prosperity. taking the reins as the state clawed out of the devastating great recession, he backed a ballot initiative that forced the state to save money and pay down debts.

money from someone's bank account without knowledge. patty says her husband called a-t-&-t right after the tubbs fire to let them know everything was lost. to their shock, those charges were debited in december.i went through 3 different people that day telling them my story until i finally i spoke to a guy in loss retention that said yes that was a mistake you shouldn't have been charged. i'm going to write a ticket for it.after nearly a month and no refund, patty called back on monday. this time around, she was told she needed to file a claim with her personal property insurance in order to get reimbursed.she said well i've been here for a long time and i know what i'm talking about. and basically this is the end of the story. you've reached the end of the line. i'm not giving you credit.and it's not just patty that's dealing with this more than 2 dozen neighbors are going through it as well. some have had charges reversed. there's no consistency. everyone's been told something differentthey send you to the customer loyalty department yet those people do nothing for you. there's no consistency with their policies, and it's really frustrating for people who are already having to go through so much.standupwe reached out to a-t-&-t to get to the bottom of this.a rep tells me patty's file has been prioritized and is being looked into.i'm told the company wants to remedy these cases as soon as possible.we will stay on top of this.

another dollar in 2025....
