now riding way up on its way to vancouver. as that high build in, it will settle over us for friday if saturday. low clouds, otherwise mostly clear butt trend is for warmer weather. certainly bayside and inland. inland will take the most jump on the temps, but coast easing into it. so 60s for some, close to water's edge, or low 70s. but then not too far away you'll find some mid to upper 70s. pittsburg 79. antioch imthat's the first i do believe since october. 77 walnut creek, hayward 70. 75 fremont to 79 gilroy, 77 saratoga. santa cruz at 74. but half moon bay 62. pacifica 59. 60s in the city. 50s and 60s. 70s mid to peninsula. warmer friday, saturday the

trying for years repeatedly bringing up amend. on the floor of the senate to rein in the amount of main different agencies can stepped on travel for travel conferences, and he said american people, if you want to blame somebody, blame the congress because the congress has had repeated opportunities to cut down on the amount of money that could be spent by agencies like the gsa and has refused to every time. so a lot of finger-pointing around here, as usual. >> we heard this morning about some heads rolling in the secret service scandal. but are any heads going to roll in this particular scandal, and jeff neely is the poster boy in this instance. >> yes, jeff neely certainly does. and investigators are looking not only at the big vegas conference but also a number of other trips. you mentioned the one in the south pacific for 17 days, there's other trips like big real estate conferences he went, to one in atlanta, looking last night on the internet and found his name and a number of other gsa officials had all kinds of other conferences around the country. so it seemed like they did a

lot of travel. we can have an argument as to how beneficial that kind of travel is and legitimate argument probably. but when it's the taxpayer dollar, it's seen differently. and i think what probably the big question for a lot of lawmakers after all these hearings is this -- is this kind of behavior the excessive spending being replicated at other agencies and other departments,or just in the gsa? a lot of people would vote here it's probably happening elsewhere. the problem is finding it out and stopping it in the first place. >> so is it going to have impact on the presidential race? >> i would say it's one of those little things that sort of diverts our attention. it's like the secret service scandal. it could under certain circumstances, but for the most part most people forget about it after a couple months. it's the beauty of this business and in politics you never. if i told you last week we spent time about secret service agents and prostitutes in columbia, would yound have let me on the air. but that's what is being talked about a lot. so little things can jump up,

but i think the bottom line for november is going to be one thing, and that is economic issues. those will be pretty much driving things, but you never know what can happen between now and election day. >> absolutely. and we can always find out by checking out your blog. thank you, jamie. there's a link to his washington insider blog on our website, ktvu.com, on the news menu bar and our politics page. what sound like a goodwill gesture may cost a bart employee his job. why a station agent gave away hundreds of dollars in bart tickets. and why stanford quarterback andrew luck may not have to wait until next thursday night to find out if he'll be the nfl's number one draft pick. >> and a major milestone in the san francisco 49ers move to the south bay at the team ready for their official groundbreaking ceremony on the new stadium. hear from one of people who spearheaded the project, when morning on 2 continues.
