may be out more money to, paying for losses they can't recoup.mark sektnan/property casualty insurance assoc. of america: "well, that's one of the challenges here. and pge has an extra twist in that they are an investor-owned utility, unlike in sacramento where we have a publicly owned utility. so they also have share-holders who should have some liability, and some skin in the game."but the massive power company isn't trying to avoid responsibility when they make a mistake, according to their spokesperson. rather, they're trying to avoid crippling lawsuits even after they do everything reasonable to avoid a wildfire."we agree that if the utility is negligent, then the utility should be accountable for those costs. but if the utility has followed all the state's high safety standards, then those costs should not be born by the utilities customers."

( marty ) in sacramento... state officials are dissussing the controversial and timely topic of who is responsible for covering the cost of damages caused by wildfires. governor brown has said he supports ásoftening the standard that makes utility companies financially liable for fire damage. ben deci reports, p-g- and- e is also lobbying hard for a change in california law. if a pg&e power line tangles with a tree and there's a wildfire... who should pay for the damages? lynsey paulo/pg&e: "even if

the utility has followed all of the state's high standards, the utility is still held strictly liable here in california. we think that is a flawed law that needs to be reformed."the law is called inverse condemnation... and at hearings in the state capitol, lawmakers are weighing whether it's fair.but let's set aside fair for a moment and talk about how much all this costs you.thomas long/utility reform network: "we rate payers are paying 100ús of millions of dollars every year for pg&e to do the work they are supposed to- trim trees and otherwise prevent wildfires. they need to do a better job. it's just that simple."complicating the issue is the question of home-owners insurance. if the buck no longer stops with utilities, insurance companies may be out more money to, paying forlosses they can't recoup.mark sektnan/property casualty insurance assoc. of america: "well, that's one of the challenges here. and pge has an extra twist in that they are an investor-owned utility, unlike in sacramento where we have a publicly owned utility. so they also have share-holders who should have some liability, and some skin in the game."but the massive power company isn't trying to

avoid responsibility when they make a mistake, according to their spokesperson. rather, they're trying to avoid crippling lawsuits even after they do everything reasonable to avoid a wildfire."we agree that if the utility is negligent, then the utility should be accountable for those costs. but if the utility has followed all the state's high safety standards, then those costs should not be born by the utilities customers."

morning... the number of people in california who can afford to buy a home continues to drop. kron4's gayle ong analyzes this trend.. and the housing market. a study by the california's association of realtors says the state is showing home affordability rates down to a ten year low..the reason - high home prices and rising interest rates..even in counties like contra costa and alameda -- where home buyers typically think they can get a deal..realtor glen bell with better homes and garden says it may take decades to having enough houses at affordable prices..he listed this three bedroom in richmond view at 629-thousand dollars, but predicts this will sit on the market for 45 days..

bell: "affordability has so much to do with how much we got in the market. the prices have been going up the last five to six years. this is not something that happened overnight.">but there are undiscovered areas where century 21 realtor janella anguiano says you can get a deal,in the heart of castro valley -this three bedroom, one and a half bath is listed at 769-thousand-dollarsjust three weeks ago - a house across the street -- with two bedrooms - smaller in square footage just sold for 11- thousand dollars more.. anguiano says the east bay area housing market is good for sellers..and the interest rates are apparently at a historic low..

sellers to price their homes lower than the neighborhood sales. because when you price your home at the last sale, that's what that buyer was willing to pay for that home and that's why we're starting to see price reductions here and there because we are starting it at where the last home sold for."> ..she has about 40 interested buyers as we speak..and expecting an offer by monday.

100ús of millions of dollars every year for pg&e to do the work they are supposed to- trim trees and otherwise prevent wildfires. they need to do a better job. it's just that simple."complicating the issue is the question of home-owners insurance. if the buck no insurance. if home-owners question of the issue is the complicating just that simple."a better job. it's they need to do prevent wildfires. otherwise trees and supposed to- trim the work they are for pg&e to do dollars every year of millions of are paying 100ús "we rate payers reform network: long/utility thomas long/utility reform network: "we rate payers are paying 100ús of millions of dollars every year the work they are supposed to- trim trees and otherwise prevent wildfires. they need to do a better job. it's just that simple." complicating the issue is the question of home-owners insurance. if the buck no longer stops with utilities, insurance companies may be out more money to, paying for losses they can't recoup.mark sektnan/property casualty insurance assoc. of america: "well, that's one of the challenges here. and pge has an extra twist in that they are an investor-owned utility, unlike in sacramento where we have a publicly owned utility. so they also have share- holders who should have some liability, and some skin in the game."but the massive power company isn't trying to avoid responsibility when they make a mistake, according to their spokesperson. rather, they're trying to avoid crippling lawsuits even after they do everything reasonable to avoid a wildfire."we agree that if the utility is negligent, then the utility should be accountable for those costs. but if the utility has followed all the state's high safety standards, then those costs should not be born by the utilities customers."

pirates. what an event it was. tickets sold out in ten minutes. barry bonds was introduced and he came in from center field. dressed in a suit and tie as he made the walk to the podium at the pitcher's mound. he was all smiles. willie mays, bobby bonilla, jim leyland, and willie mccovey were just some of the big names there today. during barry's speech he admitted that he didn't even want to play baseball as a kid. that was until his mom signed him up. barry gave all the credit to his mom saying that she was the glue that held his family together. he spoke about the moments he had with his dad, bobby bonds who was a great giants player as well.of course the big question here is...will barry ever get a shot at the hall of fame? with all of the questions and links to p-e-d use....that has yet to be answered. bonds did not address that today. as for the actual giants game against barry's first team the pirates...well that didn't go so well. you can see the massive beach balls in mccovey cove. each represents one of the homeruns barry hit there. that didn't help though. giants won friday bad had lost three straight before that. top of the fourth and josh bell says....good bye. that ball is gone. a three run shot that would make it four to

( marty )for your money this morning... the number of people in california who can afford to buy a home continues to drop. kron4's gayle ong analyzes this trend.. and the housing market. a study by the california's association of realtors says the state is showing home affordability rates down to a ten year low..the reason - high home prices and rising interest rates..even in counties like contra costa and alameda -- where home buyers typically think they can get a deal..

problem is we don't have enough housing and people can't afford to buy homes at this price.">realtor glen bell with better homes and garden says it may take decades to having enough houses at affordable prices..he listed this three bedroom in richmond view at 629-thousand dollars, but predicts this will sit on the market for 45 days..but there are undiscovered areas where century 21 realtor janella anguiano says you can get a deal,in the heart of castro valley -this three bedroom, one and a half bath is listed at 769-thousand-dollarsjust three weeks ago - a house across the street -- with two bedrooms - smaller in square footage just sold for 11- thousand dollars more..

don't want to be priced at that price where people think oh we have to over bid that. that's what causing the over bid and over bid or pricing it too high to start with and then having to reduce it."> anguiano says the east bay area housing market is good for sellers..and the interest rates are apparently at a historic low.. ..she has about 40 interested buyers as we speak..and expecting an offer by monday.
