years. we'll continue to monitor the meeting and the tuition hike proposals. you can get updates on ktvu.com. a big change at the top for the world champion san francisco giants. we're live from the city with the official explanation for the departure of the c.e.o. >> reporter: after a frustrating season, so far a shakeup at the top for the giants organization. the general managing partner and c.e.o. bill new come just went in front of the cameras here and made it official that he is in fact stepping down. reports suggest he was forced out by the team's committee of investors but that is something he denies. >> i don't think that's the right characterization at all. as you might imagine, sometime after i came back to earth, still not back to earth after

last year, i asked myself, is there a success plan? how much longer can you, should you, do you want to do this job? in the course of thinking about that and talking with folks about it including other investors, i came to the conclusion that this was the right time to turn the reigns over to larry. >> at a news conference this morning, newcome said he accomplished what he set out to accomplish, specifically winning the world series. there were communication issues between newcome and some of the giants investors over the past three years that he has been the c.e.o. part of the falling out had to do with how to spend all the extra money coming into the giants organization after they won the championship. the man taking over will be the current chief operating officer, larry bear. he was also at the news conference and he talked to us about the team's future. >> this is business as usual.

this, to put it simply, this is not a turn around in any sense, stretch of the imagination. as bill said, this franchise really is stroarng than ever. the perspective of winning is foremost, taint mount, always will be. >> reporter: newcome will step down officially at the end of the year, december 31. that's when the changeover will happen. he will stay on as an advisor for the team for some period of time. back to you. >> thank you. governor jerry brown is promising lawmakers that he will veto many of the 600 bills that are now sitting on his desk. he is not saying which ones he plans to reject, but he says he is focused on common sense laws that will not add to the state's budget problems. norwegian police say they suspect an explosion in the

now that company has filed bankruptcy. we learned today that not only is the f.b.i. investigating but the treasury department is also. if this is any indication of how stimulus money is used, we need to reject the further stimulus that the president is proposing now. >> reporter: these are just a few of the tea party souvenirs offered outside the home where the breakfast was held. slogans such as, change, hope you like it and obama drove my karma into a ditch are on everything from bumper stickers to t-shirts. the woman who put together this event organized the first local bay area patriots. she says she has 1800 members so far. michele bachmann is to a private meeting in hillsborough later today, then off to orange county tonight. back to you. >> thank you. a new poll shows california's republican voters are bucking the national trend of the presidential race. 28% of republicans surveyed in

fiscal sustainability are themselves a jobs program. >> he spoke at the economic club of washington, d.c., saying the other two threats are over regulation of businesses and a tax code that prevents growth. he says tax increases are off the table. the treasury department confirmed in the past couple of hours that its inspector general has opened an investigation into the $500 million federal loan guarantee to the now bankrupt solar company solyndra. it's the latest in a series of probes into the fremont based company that president barack obama touted last year as a model of grown investment by government. the f.b.i., energy department, and the house energy and commerce committee are also looking into the loan to solyndra and what political influence if any came into play. dog owners at a local dog
