is telling a person at a rent a car place what was going on. the children were rescued. this woman spent a year in a mental institution. she was relouised on probation -- she was released on probation. she has been in this community for a number of years. at the same time there is an expectation who are on school boards will actually have the children's best interest at heart and while she may have that at heart, perry says, there is a perception because of what she did involves children that might not be the case. when i talked to perry a few minutes ago he explain z his position. caller: we don't deal directly with children. we don't necessarily engage ourselves in school work at all. we are policymakers. but at the same time, the public sees us as representatives of schools. i think that is where the real

crooks comes. >> reporter: al vie that lives here in fairfield. some have expressed concern about this. he looked into it himself despite the fact he had done this, there is nothing in the law that says she can't run because she is not actually a convicted felon. she made a plea deal. props that is why she is able to run. a san jose man that created an hour long bomb scare in his neighborhood is in jail. mark sedlock is a convicted felon that is not allowed to possess weapons or ammunition. yesterday afternoon they found eight explosive devices in his north sixth street home. ten neighboring homes had to be evacuated. police dug a hole in sedlock's

supposedly used. claudine. >> you know, pam, we have been talking to riders all morning. the first thing they say when they see us oh no is there another protest today? not that we know of. this morning as you said the controversy is more about the public relations and the spin and what bart has allegedly done in the wake of recent protests. bart apparently tried to make sure that the media and the public thought they had the support of riders. according to the bay citizen in order to make that happen they went out and recruited so- called loyal riders. gave them a script to read. and even paid for transportation to and from. some are calling it media manipulation. riders we talked to today said giving anyone is a script isn't a good idea. >> yeah you shouldn't manipulate people. >> reporter: would you have gone to a press conference and said how you feel? >> if they gave me a script no. >> i wouldn't need anybody to tell me on barts behalf. as often as i ride bart, they

don't need to tell me. i would say hey i'm tired of the protest. >> reporter: even though he said he felt that way when i asked him if he would go to the press conference he said no. only one man took bart up on its offer to go to the press conference and speak on barts behalf. we have been putting in multiple calls to bart this morning. we have yet to hear back from them. live in san francisco claudine wong ktvu channel 2 news. time now 6:35. happening right now in washington a congressional hearing looking into the bankruptcy filing of fremont base solyndra. this is the congressional hearing room right now as the camera pans around. lawmakers want to know about the $500 million federal stimulus loan that was given to solyndra. there are reports the obama administration was warned about solyndra's financial instability but authorized that loan any way. president obama visited the company last year.

tactic. >> supporters now have to address a list of concerns when they submit a new plan. they will present that to the school board in early february and the board will take another vote. and the time is 6:38. back over to sal to check in on traffic. sal. >> we want to go and take a look at the toll plaza for you. westbound bay bridge you can see that traffic is moving along pretty quickly. it's not taking you that long. i would say a ten minute wait maybe a little less than that before you make it past the metering lights and getting into san francisco. it's not that bad of a day just yet. moving along and taking a live look at 237 some stop and go traffic here in milpitas as you drive across 880. i want to take a look at the livermore valley. 580 to 238 it looks good. livermore traffic looks good getting to that point. across the bay 101 and 280 looking good heading south. and then of course we almost forgot 880 how could we forget

significant cooling trend here. significant little that didn't make sense. wednesday, thursday into friday. inland temps will come down 5- 10. the thunderstorms that have been erupting all sorts of thunderstorm activity down in southern california is moving east because there is a system come into the pacific northwest. that helps like come on get her going. and so that moves out. we don't have to worry about that threat probably after today. the sierra will get a few but nothing like the last couple of days. 250s and toy -- 50s and 60s. the wind has really picked up. west, southwest at vacaville. if vacaville gets a sea breeze, you know it will be a cooler pattern. even livermore, oakland, napa out of the west or northwest and southwest. that's the direction the wind is coming from. just huge thunderstorms. boy did they get close and fall 5:part at sun -- fall apart at sunset. the source of that is moving out. here comes the next piece of

energy move into the pacific northwest. we're on the southern edge of it. that lifts the fog. a lot more in the way of low clouds. it will be cooler and breezy for some. not too bad. it will be comfortable for many. it will be foggy and cool on the coast. 50s and 70s and low to mid 80s inland. that wind should be cranking up as we get more of a definite sea breeze hear. 88 clear lake and ukiah. walnut creek 79. hayward at 70. san leandro 68. 75 santa clara and fremont. and 70s mainly low on the peninsula including menlo park, palo alto. 59-58 pacifica. and a lot of low to mid 60s in the city. cooling trend through friday and with your weekend always in view we do have a little warmer saturday. i think a little bit more so

inland on sunday. >> always in view that weekend. 6:42 is the time. air travel becoming more kid friendly. the changes that could make security lines more hassle free. we are live in gilroy where the clock is ticking on a vaccination deadline. why some students could be kicked out of class if they don't get it. good morning, highway 4 now a little busier as you drive on westbound highway 4 and make your way across to the concord side of the will low pass grade. we'll let you know exactly what is going on.

good morning, to you. here's a look at the top stories we are following for you right now. the school board candidate in fairfield acknowledges she was arrested in 1998 for abducting four girls from a bus stop. al i have -- alvina says she was trying to gain custody from a woman she knew. controversy over a public relations campaign planned by bart to sway public opinion against the demonstrators that have been disrupting service. it included a prepared script for bart riders to read at a news conference condemning the protests. under way right now. this is a live picture from washington. a congressional hearing focusing on the bankruptcy filing of fremont based

solyndra. the solar energy company. lawmakers are questioning them about solyndra $500 million federal stimulus loan. next week more than 700 students in gilroy could be removed from class. it's all because of a vaccine. tara moriarty has more on why that number is so high. tara. >> reporter: of course we are talking about the whooping cough vaccine. some parents may not be educated about it. some may choose not to get the vaccine for personal reasons. others may have their children receive the vaccine but don't have the documentation or lost it. in either case we here at south valley middle school. in nine days children that show they did not receive the vaccine will be sent home. of the 4300 students more than 700 fall into that category. a state law passed this summer requires seventh through 12th graders to get the shot. it can be deadly especially in

babies that are too young to get the shot. once you get it there is no cure. just to give you an idea the statewide statistics so far this year that there have been 2100 cases reported. but last year there were more than 9,000 cases. almost 500 of them right here in santa clara county. there were also more than 1 -- than 800 hospitalizations and ten deaths in 2010. the last time we saw the numbers that high was in 1987. they can come to school if their parents sign a personal belief exemption waiver. we are live in gilroy i'm tara moriarty. traveling with children could get easier in the coming weeks. homeland security is looking at implementing some changes for children younger than 13. they include letting kids keep their shoes on at check points. allowing them to go through body scanners or metal

detectors instead of a pat down. changes coming in response to son-in-law of the video row you are watching. outrage showing children being screened. >> a lot of people have opinions about that. >> kids get really scared. i know my kids have gotten scared by that. sal, everyone behaving themselves out there? >> yes, and pam i get scared. i'm scared of the dark too. >> all right. [ laughter ] >> i'm exaggerating. steve and i have been all over this air delay thing. actually steve being the weather guru he is let's go to the san mateo bridge. you see that overcast not too bad for drivers but airplanes come into sfo over the san mateo bridge and up the peninsula and they land there on the two runways. well when it's foggy they can't land at the same rate. it's causing delays reported by some people that have told us about it at sfo. it looks like there is a truck there with looks like a stall on the san mateo bridge. we'll see what happen there is.
