[ applause ] >> we're standing here with cops and firefighters, whose jobs are threatened because statened a -- states and communities are cutting back. so let's pass this bill so that these men and women can continue protecting our neighborhoods like they do every single day. >> i'm standing with construction workers. we have roads that need work all over the country. our highways are backed up with traffic. >> our airports are clogged and there are millions of unemployed contractors who can rebuild them. let's pass this bill so workers and diggers and pavers can all head back to the job site. there's plenty of work to do. this job's bill will help them do it.

there are schools throughout the university that desperately need renovating. we cannot get an amen over there. we can't expect our friends to do their best in places that are literally falling apart. . nas bill and we put construction workers back to work to modernize at least 35,000 schools. i'm standing here with biz owners. a lot 6 small businesses have not roared back. they are still struggling, getting the capital and support they need in toward grow the

more taxes next ye. and the americans job act is not going to add to the debt. it's fully paid for. i want to repeat that. it's fully paid for. it's not gonna add a dime to the deficit. next week i'm laying out my plan not only to pay for this jobs bill but to bring down the deficit further. it's a plan that lives by the same rules that families do. we have to cut out things that we can't afford to do. in order to afford the things we really need. it's a plan that says everybody, including the wealthiest americans and biggest corporations have to pay their fair share.

[ applause ] >> when it comes to strengthening the economy and balancing the books, do we keep tax loopholes or do we put teachers back to work? we know what's right. we know what will help businesses start right here and stay here and hire here. we know that if we take the steps outlined in this jobs plan that there's no reason why we cannot be selling goods all around the world that are stamped with those three words "made in america.

span. ever the past decade, the district has turned its deficit from $454 million down to 87. by raising tolls, cutting service and issuing layoffs. but it's still not enough. and that has some commuters frustrated. >> one plan in the works is eliminating all toll bridgers. the current toll is $6. $5 if you have fastrack. you could be seeing an extra dollar come out of your pocket come the year 2013. we're live from san francisco, tara moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. >> let's head over to sal who can tell us a little bit more about what's going on on the
