allison? >> i would have to go back and check. i honestly don't remember. i have to get back to you on that one. i don't remember. >> i would certainly like to know that if you purchased 62 buses, two different types of engines and i want to know which ones broke down before i purchased anything else. >> if you will indulge me one minute i think -- this is gary chang, the project manager. do you remember? >> [inaudible] i don't remember an exact count. okay. >> hi. this is gary chang with sf mta project manager for the procurement. based on my recollection there were some coaches broken down. however the communication i have with new flyer because the vehicles are under their possession when shuttling the vehicles to muni. so far i haven't been successful in retrieving that documents but i recall there were a few that broke down. >> out of the 62 and were they allison or bae coachs? >>i think it's a combination of the two. i think there were some of each. i have to go back and double check the counts. >> okay. i certainly would like to have that information

regardless whether it's an allison or bae it will improve the reliability of the fleet. it will also move us to reducing the number of diesel buss in the fleet more hybrid and it doesn't preclude later on -- it's just more data available from continuing the study and applying that, so in essence the short answer to your question was it was the timing. >> when you begun the process in july and start talking to them or may and purchasing the additional buses. at that point what did you know about the 62 buses that you had purchased before? i mean did we know how bae buses were performing relative to allison buses at this point? >> not much. again keep in mind the buses started to come in at april, may so the process is even as they're coming in you begin to have to first of all inspect them, accept them, train operators, so they didn't -- by the time -- in the summer we didn't have such data. they didn't run enough miles. >> i guess that's a concern i have to be honest. i'm not going to be -- i mean i wouldn't purchase a personal vehicle that's less money without understan

bill clinton talked about the minimum wage, allison grimes did. they think his experience in the 1990s when the economy was booming is great for their campaign. the second thing they think is important is, steve beshear, the governor mentioned this actually, a lot of people here are not sure, does grimes have a chance to win. mitch mcconnell always has had a chance to win. bill clinton coming here shows people in kentucky and people nationally this is a real race if bill clinton thinks that she can win, maybe she can win. >> it's interesting that you say people have questions about whether or not allison lundergan grimes has a chance. do the polls believe those polls or do they say the polls are outliars? >> reporter: no, they bleeft polls here. more like mcconnell is so strong. he's won so many times. bill clinton compared in 2008. it's more a question, people here, republicans, flustered by mcconnell. people blame mcconnell for the dysfunction for washington. and there are people who want to endorse the republican challenger who are afraid to do

allison lundergan grimes has a good story to tell. she comes from a family that's well-known. political family. but more important, what mitch mcconnell represents is not about republican or democrat, it's that he represents somebody who's been there for too long. he becomes part of the establishment. that's the issue in this race. the most recent polling we've seen here not only has the race tied, but has mcconnell's approval rating lower than president obama's rating in kentucky. gwen: when you say -- you're talking about the general election. >> the general election. >> has it started to affect mcconnell's ability to do his job in washington? >> we saw mcconnell and bevin didn't have very good weeks. where they got in the last week, they got in tight spots. and for mcconnell, it was being forced by senator ted cruz in filibustering the debt ceiling vote. mcconnell was then forced to cast a vote. and the plan was for no republican to cast a vote on that. because lifting the debt ceiling is like lighting a fire underneath the tea party people. and he was forced to do so as pa

. >> allison, you have become a world leader on leadership. that you be an extroverted person naturally to be an effective leader? >> it is not necessary to be an extrovert. it's interesting to talk about leadership after we just heard from president obama who is extremely extroverted. but the most important thing for leaders is to be competent. if you are competent, that is what really fosers that trust and loyalty amongst the people on your team. competence is much more important than being gregarious or outgoing. >> allison, the team wanted me for some reason to ask why you say you want teammates with enormous egos. i don't know why they wanted me to ask that question. go ahead. >> that's a great question. much of the advice and on the edge does fly in the face of traditional advice that you get about leadership. and this is some advice i actually got from coach k, the head coach of duke university, the head men's basketball coach. we're right in the middle of basketball season so it applies. he's also the coach of the u.s. olympic team and

luckily nothing has happened to the transbay tube. >> reporter: allison says crews were dispatched. they walked through the tube. they looked around. there also were instruments inside the tube designed to go off in case of water or earthquake. there were no alarms and so he said what happened today was not even a close call and nothing happened, the tube is designed to handle this sort of thing and the harsh marine environment. it has 3/8" thick steel walls and thick concrete walls. it performed as it was supposed to. he is not even sure the anchor even came close. live in oakland, don knapp, kpix 5. >>> a shocking announcement from state water leaders today another example of how serious the drought is. the state water project won't be providing any water to local agencies that in turn supply two-thirds of the state with its water supply. the decision will have direct impact on water districts that serve 25 million people. it's also a crushing blow to farmers, who normally count on the supply for crops. local water districts will have to ration already dwindling supplies. >> we sh

allison grimes being the other. they tried to nail her down about what exactly she would change in obamacare. her statement is always it's not working. she won't go into much detail and no one has been able to nail her down on that. if she's trying to run a campaign and be as vague as possible on liberal issues where kentuckyans are not with her and talk about mitch mcconnell as much as possible. >> the kentucky exchange is working, arguably, better than any. it was the first one that seemed to be up and running and working while the federal government was trying to get its act together. does this make it hard er for mcconnell to run against healthcare? i think i saw a stat. more people have signed up in kentucky through the healthcare exchange there in that state than actually voted for barack obama in 2012. >> reporter: yeah. i was out in eastern kentucky, in some of those coal mining counties where obama is very unpopular. i was in perry county where literally more people have health insurance under the law in th

at the same time, possibly take down matt bevin, possibly take down allison grime grimes. his number against bevin looks strong at this point. he holds a 55-29 lead. but two years ago, dick lug re had a 55-30 lead over richard murdoch. mcconnell understands the threat and he sees it's he's prepared to take it off. >> joseph, where did he stray from the majority of voters in kentucky? >> i think more than anything, it's just the level of fatigue that you get with a politician after they've represented you for 30 years. senator mcconnell was first elected to the senate in 1984. he had served a term and a half as a jefferson county judge executive, the top executive position in the largest county in kentucky for a term and a half before that. that's a long time. and you tend to make some enemies over time. and then on top of that, you have this tea party wave taking effect that just doesn't agree with some of the things he's done over the years. mcconnell has been a deal cutter. he's gone out and worked with the democrats on occasion. he's fought with them quite a bit on occa
