prop 2 saves money for a rainy day, but prop 1 is the attention grabber because it addresses the droughtwe break it all down. >> with the worst drought on record, we've seen devastation across california. >> here's the quick primer on prop 1, the water bond that's more or less flooding your air waves, courtesy of governor brown. first the facts, if voters approve the measure, it authorizes more than $7 billion in new bonds for water projects, but hoover research fellow carson bruno, a public finance expert, says prop 1 is not immediately putting voters on the hook for $7 billion, the sum will be broken up in chunks over many years. >> that's an important distinction to make. this is not as if we're saying on november 5th the state treasurer is going to sell $7.5 billion worth of bonds. there will be a significant lag time, most likely. >> reporter: as a taxpayer, here's what you'll actually owe, according to the nonpartisan legislative analysts office, about $360 million a year for 40 years to pay off the debt. divide that by california's 16 million taxpayers and that comes out to $22.50

prop 1 is $7.5 billion water bond to help with future drought. it passed bay strong margin at 67 percent victory for prop 1 push by governor brown. prop 2 is also passing creating new rules in the constitution of how the state pays debt and keep money in reserve for tough financial times. it was won with 69 percent. the governor pushed if this. >> voters defeated prop 46, no at 67 percent over 33 percent "yes," to raise the cap on medical malpractice and require doctors to take drug and alcohol tests. medical professionals spend millions to defeat this and was offered by bob pack of danville whose daughter and son were killed by a hit-and-run driver high on drugs. >> it is opening the eyes to the public and the legislature that there is a lot more to do with patient safety and medical safety. >> opponents say 46 it would be costly and create a statewide medical database that could put privacy at risk. >> prop 45 is down in defeat. circuit percent voted "no," giving the health insurance commissioner the power to veto rate hikes but it was defeated

and with the support of prop k and other funds and, so this project provided as we say a example of what the safety and the space improvements are possible and i think that the neighbors were very excited to learn from that experience. the geneva bus rapid project has been concluding a big round of out reach and community workshops and i attended one and this is the corridor traversing san francisco and daily city as well as multiple different ways that we are trying to address the safety and reliable issues and there is a need for a rapid transit route for the transand muni buses and also a need for bus routes and connectivity and we continue to work with the city and the city of brisbain and we want to address the issues and the concerns of the little hollywood, and the visitation valley area who are looking to see if we might be able to explore the different ways to work with the neighbors to the south and the rocology site to find the optimum bruding through the area. >> on the brt, the bus, ra pit transit project, we want to congratulate the board for approving legislation, for that

. >> prop 47! >> prop 47, getting a lot of support from a lot of celebrities.hat's jay-z at one of his concerts talking about the importance of prop 47. >> more schools. >> proposition 47 attempts to reduce certain crimes like theft, forgery, drug possession to dismisdemeanors. in that happens, it believes that the money from reducing those charges will be available to be used for education, for health initiatives, for mental health treatment. that will actually lead to preventing kids from ending up in jail in the first place. a lot of support from other familiar faces, including john legend. and john legend took it a step further. in this video, we actually see that john picks up phone, calls a constituent to talk to her about this proposition. >> hi, tyra. my name is john legend, and i'm calling from prop 47. >> we're just ordinary people, john legend. >> yeah, that's me. >> now she and jay-z are part of a campaign called artists for 47 where 47 artists came together to create awareness and educate people. another one of those artists supporting prop 47 is a

and prop 46 also failing tonight. it would have authorized random drug and alcohol testing of doctors. it set up a prescription drug data base. plenty of people found something to object to. it has been defeated tonight. more than $12 million has been in favor of prop 46. most coming from the families of victims of preventable medical errors. 63million spent opposing it like the american nurse's association and others. prop 48 which would allow casinos to be built in the central valley. voters felt that unnecessary. it has lost today. a message from voter. they want to spend money to save water. they want a rainy day fund as well. >> and allen, prop 1 is also money for earthquake early warning system? >> the money is not included but there may be a way to do it. it was one of the things approved by state legislature la sweer. but there was no money to pay for it. not a dime. so of the $7 billion that prop 1 is authorizing, the state senator who offered the quake warning bill says it only makes sense. use some of that

this is the kind of leadership we need to make our streets safer i want to thank the mayor for van prop a $500 million in education bonds for $300 million will be invested in advancing vision zero making our streets safer and it's not not only coming from the executive branch but the elective supervisor kim and all the 11 members of the board of supervisors unanimously supported prop a on the ballot and with that kind of unanimous support if city hall that we'll need in order to get even though 2/3rd's vote for the high threshold for the unif i had city hall and community to the chamber of commerce this is an investment that san franciscans will understand and being willing to make but it's not just with the bond as supervisor kim experienced her leadership which winner running for office she made pedestrian safety one of the top issues and this is a top issue her district is the most challenging foyer pedestrian safety and that's why laugh of the folks are here please welcome supervisor kim (clapping.) >> good morning many of us in the community that have been working on this for many,

prop 2 sets up a rainy-day fund. prop 1 is a water measure that is a little more controversial. >> we need this proposition, we need to build storage and we need to do recycling and we need to recharge the groundwater and fix the habitat. >> brown's rival republican neel kashkari says that prop 1 doesn't go far enough to help the state's water situation and kashkari campaigned in silicon valley and told supporters this week he is running hard and will sprint to the firemen. >>> well a controversial ballot measure took center stage in san francisco. supporters of the so-called patient safety measure of proposition 46 gathered outside of a health insurance company. they say that malpractice insurance companies spend millions of dollars to fight patient safety and endanger patient's safety. >> it's egregious that the insurance company doesn't want that from who they cover. >> prop 46 would increase the cap on medical malpractice award from the current cap of $250,000. he opponents of prop 46 say if passed the measure co

governor brown campaigned hard for prop one. and early results show that it is way ahead 68% yes, only 32% no. voters also appear to be backing prop 2 by a wide margin. prop2 would boost the state's rainy day fund. right now the yes vote 29%, the yes vote 70%. >>> right now you can see 60% of voters saying no, 39% saying no to prop 45. and moving on to proposition 46 which would require drug testing of doctors. it would also cap settlements. prop 46 also appears to be going down in defeat. here are the numbers 68% rejecting. 32% in favor of prop 46. >>> proposition 47 will reduce the sentence for some drug and property crimes to a misdemeanor instead of a felony. right now voters are approving prop 47 by a solid margin 57% yes, 42% no. and finally proposition 48 would allow the north fork rancheria of mono indians to build a new casino in mad era county that measure is trailing no 58%, yes 42%. >>> governor brown easily won reelection tonight but he did not attend a big party with supporters. choosing instead to have dinner with

prop 48 was not a winner. it would have allowed a southern california indian tribe to build a casino off its property. >>> jerry brown won and made political history. he has won an unprecedented fourth term as governor of california. brown won 59% of the votes, republican neel kashkari won 41%. brown by the way is 76. he is the oldest sitting governor in the united states. when you cruise to a big win like jerry brown did last night, it's okay to go off script in your victory speech. he normally does, maybe even bring your wife into the fold. watch. >> maybe the most heartening thing i would have to say in this election besides being here with my wife in her new red dress that she just got -- [ laughter ] >> -- for this event is the fact that one and two did pass. one and two passed with republicans and democrats. >> and i will say living with him, he does wake up every, single morning so enthused and energized by this job and he gives it his all and there's no one smarter and more ethical in my mind and who h

on the prop k, i want to thank the board for adopting the guidelines for the planning program, and last year, just highlight that we did allocate funds to begin the western addition, community based transportation plan in 65 and sfmta will be leading that work with support from our office and we will be working with commissioner mar's office for a planning project for district one which will focus on bike and safety and improvements and several, north and south streets, and i appreciate working with the staff and commissioner mar on that and we are working with commissioner avalos's office and kim's office for the proposals and so i think that will bring us for five or six, in this year. and that will be followed by more district studies and planning efforts next year. finally, the san francisco, on the planning side of the san francisco transportation plan has been kicking off and we have been coordinating with the local agencies and the regional agencies weaving together a lot of the studies that i was just mentioning and the muni rail and the planning and water front work and the fre

a i think it will be a game changer for us and for safety on the streets and prop b which will send more general fund to muni the formula will be also triggered by population growth so we'll use those funds for fleet expansion we can't use bond funds for fleet so general funds will allow us to do fleet expansion as well as further advance bike and pedestrian safety and then also on the ballot the voters pretty strongly rejected prop l which i think we can see that rejection of prop l as an affirmation by the voters and having all 3 of those line up on the ballot and all go the way they did is i think strong support for the work that we're doing here. it's not to say that there aren't and won't continue to be concerns with how we're trying to improve transportation in san francisco and for all the people who voted against a and b and for l i think we want to reach out to and work with them as well because we need to deliver transportation for the whole city but that said obviously now the ball is in our court to deliver on what the voters authorized us to do and we've been prepared f

passage of propositions a and b and the transportation bond and funding measure and with the defeat of prop l, that sought to hold back the long standing policy, the transportation joins with the san francisco transportation authority and other city agencies in thanking the voters of san francisco for supporting much-needed investment in our city's local and regional transportation system. we look forward to rolling up our sleeves to help to deliver the improvements that will support our city's visioner zero, to drive the traffic fatalities to zero and, that will support reliability and improve traffic management and in the bikes and the walking grass across the city, in order to assure, broad based benefits i have also been seeking the sfmta assurance that will apply to the equity policy and analysis to propositions a and b, programs and i am hopeful that it will be supported i have actually called for a meeting or a hearing at the board of supervisors, to cover that very topic. election night marked another major milestone for transportation in our city and it was 25 years ago, this novem

look, prop one and two is an example. i mean, you saw some tech money come in there.arker, one of the big tech billionaires came in with a million dollars in support of prop 1. >> and how many people do you think knew that? >> yeah, that is exactly right. on the legislative races we saw for instance in the east bay race with catherine baker and tim cervante, you had one rich -- charles munger coming in for baker. the voters are very confused about this kind of thing. >> speaking of races, the state school superintendent race, the south bay, for congress. >> the consequence of the top two primary system, relatively new here in california. you have two democrats running against each other. honda and conna, big spending race for both of them. requiring both candidates to be dependent on that money. >> what you saw there was two democrats really cutting each other up. that was sort of another trend out of this election. it was a nasty race right down to the final minutes today. where you had mike honda announcing his victory, but really slamming the corporate billionaires
