lisa kim here now to fill us in on the specifics. lisa? >> the governor called the budget crisis a state of emergency. he says he has no choice but to order those furloughs. for the past year and a half, the majority of state workers endured the furloughs. that order expires july 1st. today's order reinstates the furloughs beginning august 1st. it affects 156,000 of the 237,000 state employees. the workers will have to take three unpaid days a month. it will continue until a new budget is passed. two public agencies are exempt from the furloughs. also exempt, 37,000 workers in six unions that reached labor agreements with the administration. the governor's spoke person says the furloughs will take about $80 million a month from the general fund. >> because the legislature failed to produce a budget, we're going to run out of cash and not be able to pay the bills. >> it hurts me economically and financially. i honestly think that state workers have shared enough pain over the last several months with the furloughs that we've been subjected to. >> assembly speaker says the governor's decision deliberately hurts people. however, the studies -- the state assembly's republican leadlea leader blame democrats. they say they feel it necessary to make a cut. they also issued a warning saying without a budget in place, the state may have to start issuing ious by late august. sound familiar? lisa kim, bay area news. >> thank you. >>> news tonight on two bay area sports teams that could still be on the move. san jose mayor chuck reed decided to halt plans to but a mlb stadium on the ballot. they have to decide if the a's can move. baseball leaders say they'll pay for a special election in the spring if it comes to that. and san francisco's bay view is closer to getting major face lift and possibly keeping the 489ers in town. san francisco supervisors approved a redevelopment project on the former shipyard. the plan includes more than 10,000 housing units, shops, entertainment and parks. the new stadium is also in the plans. the team says they want to move to santa clara. the next step is lining up the finances to pay for that ambitious plan. >>> coming up, blastoff. the rocket ship on a 14-month mission to bring goth art to the bay area. >>> and it's a plug in party. the next models of electric cars on display now. but are they ready to go main street? >>> they brought us toy s

lisa myers is in new orleans this morning. lisa, good morning to you. >> hey, matt, good morning. we spent ten hours out over the gulf over the last few days and found only isolated patches of oil on the surface. but scientists say there is still plenty of oil out there. and they remain greatly concerned about the continuing damage to the environment, and to wildlife. we went out to track the oil with pilot bonnie shumaker, a committed environmentalist. who has been out over the oil almost daily since mid-may. >> every day there's less and less to see. >> there was thick oil as far as the eye could see. now we find occasional blotches of orange. >> we're having trouble finding patches of oil. that doesn't mean we're not going to stay prepared until the flow is killed. >> reporter: but as we traveled offed southern coast of louisiana on wednesday, it didn't take us long to find oil. >> we are six miles off louisiana and are beginning to see significant fingers of crude oil, both on and underneath the water. streaks of emulsified crude bleeding into the water. surrounded by oil sheen. the strands of oil are heading toward an island, and there are no response vessels. at another location, there is even more oil. rows and rows of it. here there are skimmers. where has the rest of the oil gone? experts say it's evaporated and been eaten by microbes. but there's hundreds of thousands of barrels still lurking in the water. >> we should continue to worry about the oil that may be in the flow, and the oil that's in the water but below the surface. >> reporter: and experts say worry about how all that oil, mixed with an unprecedented 1.8 million gallons of dispersants, sim pacting birds and marine animals. what have you observed about what's happening to wildlife? >> well, i'm seeing much less of it. and i'm seeing none of it where i would like to see it. >> reporter: more than 3,500 pelicans, sea turtles and other wildlife have been found dead. on our journey we saw some flocks of birds, but not as many as usual. even in their favorite nesting grounds. even though the oil is now largely out of sight, government officials say it could keep washing up on the beaches for weeks. and scientists warn, matt, that it could be years before we know the full environmental impact. >> all right, lisa, thank you very much. that's lisa myers in new orleans for us this morning. just ahead, for nearly a week she believed her daughter had been killed in a tragic accident. turns out she actually survived. there had been a mix-up at the hospital. that mom speaks out in a live interview. but first, these messages. >>> coming up, he exclusive new details about chelsea clinton's wedding, which is now just two, count them, two days away. natalie is live at the site of the big affair. >>> we're going to catch up with snooki and the rest of the "jersey shore" gang after your local news. >>> good morning. it it's 7:26. i'm laura garcigarcia-cannon. >> let's go to oakland. last couple of days has been bad news. this morning, i wanted a nice drive. 880 northbound, this is great. reports of an accident may have some activity in the lanes, slow around the san mateo bridge on the northbound side. golden gate bridge, nice view from the north bay. from time to time we're seeing cars come southbound wi

lisa, welcome back. >> thank you. >> nice to have you back. seems like you brought -- >> lots of sun block. it was sun. >> look here in san francisco. we've got some cool air with us i think lisa brought it back from vacation. temperatures in the 60s in san francisco and the fog persistent here and the city winds northwest at 23. usually, the wind is warming but we have some other stuff hang in the upper atmosphere that's helping to bring down the numbers. it's not only the fog, but some cooler air aloft. that's why temperatures have dropped anywhere from 10 to 20 degrees from what we had this weekend. right now, 77 in novato. 82 in livermore and 87 in fairfield. a wide mix of temperatures as the fog is back. that will be with us tonight and for tomorrows morning. we've got cool air aloft so that means plenty of widespread 70s for inland locations. below-average temperatures for tuesday. as we head into this week we're looking at a little bit of warming coming our way. here's the fog off the coastline. pretty widespread here from the north bay to the south bay and it won't budge over the next two days. while we don't have a major storm system we've got energy coming into the p

lisa and greg, you guys have a little bit of financial strain in your marriage now, lisa is starting her own business. what advice can we give to you help things out in the marriage? >> well, i am getting ready to open a children's yoga studio in hoboken called mmi kids yoga, and it is taking up a lot of time and money and we're wondering with opening the business and our financial living expenses how can we still manage to live our lives, save money, and squeeze in a vacation or some extra fun with the kids. >> it starts with keeping your business and your personal life separate. so for your business you need your own account, your own atm card for that and as far as saving up for the big, fun things like going out to eat, vacation, stuff for the kids, you need to pre-commit to saving for these things. discretionary income, that's basically where those expenses are going to be coming from and discretionary income on a general budget is about 10% of your take-home pay. go home tonight, look at how much money is coming in and reasonably how much you can set aside for the "fun stuff" and work within those parameters. >> mike and janice, you work together at home so you're spending an awful lot of time together. what is that doing to the relationship? >> that's part of the problem, that's why we're here. basically we have a home studio, celestestudios.com. we're working together every single second. when we leave and shoot weddings we're together and that kind of puts a little strain on our personal relationship. also, the fact that working from home, the business kind of spills over into our regular life. >> lori, how do they break that up? >> mike and janice, your question applies to people who also don't work together where they start sitting down to dinner and all they talk about is work or children, all you talk about is children, that's a problem, too. the first thing is to recognize the research shows that after about two years of marriage, those "i love you" tingles, they go away, and that's really normal, and what we want to do is work on getting new tingles so that we don't find a new person to give us tingles. how do we do that? we start by making sure we still like our partner. so for instance when you wake up in the morning, do you say "good morning honey." when you walk out the door, do you say "good-bye, i'll see you later," "hello," things like that can keep a connection alive. you want to separate out time for fun that, might mean monday is a day with less work, mondays we'll take off together, we'll september aside this time because i recognize that if i don't, our marriage will suffer. >> yep, richard, patricia, do you still get the tingles like the relationship is new type of thing or what would be your biggest issue if you had to pose a question to one of our experts, financial or emotional? >> my question is as i get closer to retirement, our priorities change, and at what point should i start becoming more conservative with what the money that i've put aside for investment. >> that's a great question a lot of us are wondering, right now, richard you're about five years away from retirement, so really you can't be too risky at this point. the rule of thumb is you take the 100 number and subtract your age and that's how much money you should have in stocks, and if you've got all your money in stocks, i would say you want to pull back and reserve money in cash and more safety areas because you can't afford to be too risky right now. if the market tumbles in the next five years you may not be able to ride out those fluctuations >> we'll leave it there for a quick second, a quick commercial break. when we come back we'll talk about how children affect your marriage and how to keep that relationship strong when so much of your time is dominated by the kids. this is our "early" show "marriage summit." this is the the "early" show on cbs. , and not enough sleep. what i wouldn't do for a do-over.
