Warning if a shutdown does drag on, they could have a problem keeping up. Im hoping the whole congress will Work Together to avert this completely unnecessary crisis for low income people. But east bay congressman Mark Desaulnier is losing hope. When asked if hes optimistic about getting a deal done. He was quite clear not after today. I was surprised by how many republicans voted against a bill that was completely unacceptable to us and the congressman isnt mincing words about the impact it will be become more disastrous over time, but people will feel the effects of it and theyll feel it reasonably quickly. That was Tara Campbell reporting. Lawmakers have until 9 p. M. Our time to come to an agreement on some sort of spending bill. If they dont get it done, it will mark the fourth shutdown in the past decade. And turning now to the bay area, an American Icon being remembered this morning. Diane feinstein served 31 years in congress. Her legacy goes beyond paving a pathway for women in politics. And her place on the Senate Judiciary committee. It all started right here in the bay area as she rose through the ranks of San Francisco politics. Yes, as you can imagine, tributes have been pouring in since senator feinsteins passing. Abc seven News Reporter tim johns hears from local and National Political leaders about her legacy. Almost immediately after news broke of the passing of senator Dianne Feinstein, tributes began pouring in from her Congressional Colleagues in washington, d. C. I do so, as i say, personally as a friend, neighbor and fellow san franciscan. All of us do so with great pride. And as the great senator, she has been to our state, too, here in San Francisco. It was more than close to her heart. She stayed on top of San Francisco. Go through the personal contacts, personal relationships, and her regular return to the city. Many say feinsteins legacy of advocacy and breaking glass ceilings will live on. She was the first female president of the San Francisco board of supervisors was during that time that she led the city through the assassinations of then mayor George Moscone and supervisor harvey milk. She then went on to become mayor of the city herself. Again, the first woman to have the role. She stepped up. She led with courage. She worked hard for this city. She was a beacon of hope and inspiration during a very dark and tragic time. And she ultimately became a california senator in 1992, a position she was planning on retiring from in 2025. Its because of her long history of Public Service that many felt compelled to lay flowers outside of her Pacific Heights home. I thought id come by and pay my respects, but ill probably come by and put my photo with her, you know, i have a photo with her and some flowers. Beyond being a trailblazer for women in politics, those who knew her say feinstein was also a leader for jewish americans. She would talk about how much she cared about her jewish identity, how much she cared about this synagogue, and being a proud member of it. She would attend for the high holidays and other services and have life cycle events here for her family. Feinstein was a member of congregation emanuel in San Francisco outside of the temple friday evening. Several people took time to tell us how much shell be missed there. One mourner describing feinstein as a cherished and irreplaceable part of the community. I came in here to say kaddish. I came to say, and probably id expect it. A lot of people will be here to say kaddish for her that was tim johns reporting. And were told the flags at city hall will remain at half staff until tomorrow in her honor. Feinstein passing leaves an empty seat in the senate. The spotlight is already on governor gavin newsom, who will decide who will fill that seat. Governor newsom has said he wants an interim caretaker to hold it until next years election. Hes also promised to select a black woman. Some of the names that have risen to the forefront have been shirley weber, who was appointed to replace alex padilla as the secretary of state. We also have malia cohen, whos also been mentioned, and she is currently our state comptroller. And holly mitchell, whos worked with the Newsom Campaign in previous. And shes a current la county supervisor, San Francisco mayor, london breed is another name being suggested for the now vacant seat. Were also hearing from people who worked alongside senator feinstein. And one thing weve learned is she was not only a colleague and a friend, also a matchmaker, former california senator Barbara Boxer was there at the start. She made a history with senator feinstein when they came into the senate in 1992. The duo sometimes referred to as the thelma and louise of the senate, served together for 24 years. Senator feinstein was also credited with helping others find love. Also love to fix people up on dates and took great credit for a few marriages that happened and she was always searching around. If there was someone in the senate who was single, well, i have a great guy for you. I have a great gal for you. Former senator boxer also shared that feinstein was an excellent gift giver.

The rebuilding of the dam has been major focus for valley water officials. Abc seven news south bay reporter zach fuentes has been tracking the work. Thats just some of the work that contra factors for valley water have done. Excavating more than 800ft of the more than 1700 feet plans for a tunnel next to anderson dam. The dam and its reservoir are one of the largest sources of water for santa clara county. Created to bring water to more than 2 Million People is a major project for the public. A lot of people dont think about what goes into delivering safe, clean water to their households, but there is a lot and this is, you know, our number one priority right now. The dam was drained after valley water was ordered to rebuild it to meet modern safety standards. But before they can do that, the 20 foot wide tunnel has to be finished. Were finishing our tunnel project first. Next we go to the seismic retrofit, which is the mandate from the state of california. Thats when we actually bring down the dam and retrofit the dam. Valley water says the tunnel will let them release more water faster and safer during major storms or emergencies. That could help avoid the floods like the one san jose saw in 2017 when the dam went above capacity. The workers have been drilling for the tunnel since november of 2022, and by the end of this summer they finished almost half in september. They used the help of this controlled blasting to take their work, even further. Project manager Ryan Mcarthur breaks down what all of those flashing explosions are, and those are the fuzes or the delays as those are sending a charge into the rock. And so theres a hole drilled about 6 to 8ft in with a charge at the end of it. And then youll hear a rumble. You know, and thats really the explosives going off and the rock coming tumbling down. And that that Cross Section of the face that you see once all of the excavation is finished, crews will go back through and build a two foot thick, reinforced concrete lining inside the tunnel where were at now.

San francisco developer Warren Simmons had the vision of building an urban park along what used to be the citys underdeveloped waterfront. That vision came to life on october 4th, 1978, and we know a lot of you are planning to spend some Time Outdoors this weekend. So lets get a check of that forecast right now with meteorologist lisa de origine. And lisa, weve been talking about some scattered showers this morning that a lot of people may be waking up and experiencing a little bit of rain. Thats right. Everywhere from napa down to san jose, the santa cruz mountains. And we have had some heavier rain in the northern Sacramento Valley, even some snow in the sierra nevada. So this is just another system, another early season system that has allowed for some unusual weather here. And were going to see even more unusual weather, really not for october as we get into the week ahead. That will be more typical. Well talk about that in just a moment. But look at that thunderstorm activity and the rotation from the area of low pressure to allowing for some pretty good activity to the east of us. Look at the snow right here, 30, 34 degrees in truckee right now. So very high elevation snow, a possibility. And back home, weve had a few sprinkles from fremont right along highway one and even mission peak in fremont, skyline boulevard. Were not done with it yet, though. This area of low pressure is going to take some time to get out of here. Upper 50s in the Los Altos Hills this morning. Temperatures are much warmer due to the cloud cover. The breeze out there, 59 in napa and 57 santa rosa. Visibility not bad. But if you are with a shower and the cloudy skies certainly have to be careful out there. Heres a look at the change. Eight degrees warmer in napa with six degrees warmer in santa rosa. So as we look at santa cruz, it was in the mid 70s yesterday, only in the low to mid 60s today. So a good ten to even 20 degrees cooler in some spots. We were near 80 yesterday, early on and in our east bay valleys before the breeze and the clouds filled in. So damp areas this morning. Breezy winds, some spotty spotty showers and gusty winds throughout the afternoon. And then as we get into your sunday, much sunnier and looking at a big, big warm up as we get towards even tuesday. Heres a look at the footprint of what we can expect today. So very scattered showers. Youll notice that we have some holes in the overcast there. So pockets of sun pockets of sprinkles here as we go through the afternoon and early evening hours, not amounting to much. Weve already picked up a couple hundredths, but through 8 00, maybe 2 100 in fremont, upper elevation have seen a little bit more than that already. And notice its just very light amounts here throughout the rest of the day. Theres a look at the wind 22. You can see even 30 miles an hour. Theyll continue to crank up as the low slides to the south and east of us. And then the winds will be lighter for the evening hours. Then well get into that northerly wind for your sunday. This is monday. Looking at some 80s arriving inland. That would put us near average 60s and 70s across the bay. But into your tuesday, the numbers continue to warm and notice the colors move across the bay there. So by wednesday well see temperatures even around 90 in our inland valleys and the coast. Were going to warm up through the mid and upper 70s. So certainly what you expect for that first week of october with a much warmer than average conditions while the long cool nights not looking at any out of hand offshore wind. So thats the good news. And then with the longer nights we certainly cool off upper 60s today in oakland look for 68in vallejo in the accuweather seven day forecast. Notice that big warm up as we get through the week ahead.

The city of san jose and mayor matt mehan say they are inching closer to ending the era of encampments. Thursday a celebration of 89 more units of safe and dignified emergency interim housing in the form of the converted arena hotel. These Immediate Solutions have proven their effectiveness this year, year over year. We have seen more than a 10 drop in unsheltered homelessness in the city of san jose. To further build on that goal, this site was funded by voter approved measure e dollars, as well as more than 20 million from californias project homekey. Other converted hotels in san jose, including the surestay, have seen a host of issues under their non profit operators. But b ramos, with arenas on site operator home first, says they have seen success for residents at their other locations thanks to on site staff and case managers. Theyre all trained in crisis.

In a safe environment, residents are able to get a room through a referral system, and as of reopening day, all 89 units are at capacity. Where would you be without a place like this . I really, really been like homeless, like shifting from place to place. Like i was like not having any stable environment, no meals, nothing like literally fending for myself every day. So a place like this is a lifesaver. Yeah, it is. Mayor mehan says this is what its all about. Providing residents with a home thats stable, safe and gets people connected to services. Arena hotel represents that for 89 more people in our community, 50 of whom we just helped move out of the Guadalupe Creek area into this site where they have that that sense of security and privacy and stability in san jose.

But the thunderstorms have been to the east of us and what an unusual system weve had a piece of some fall last week and now this system will continue to rotate through throughout the day today, maybe even providing a thunderstorm. So we will keep our level one system with us throughout the day. Breezy winds and those slick roadways. Overall, were not looking at big amounts, only light amounts, upper 50s to near 60. So it is a milder start with the cloud cover. The breezy winds, and then well take you through the 9 00 hour. Notice some sunshine in the north bay as we get through about 1 00.

Developing news, lawmakers have until the end of today to agree on a spending bill or the government will shut down tomorrow. Millions of americans will be forced to work without pay while others could lose benefits like Food Assistance. Abc News Reporter andy field has the very latest. The United States speeding toward what could be one of the largest Government Shutdowns ever and could leave several million americans without a paycheck. Lawmakers now have just hours to reach a deal to keep much of the government open. The bill is not passed. House speaker Kevin Mccarthy held a vote friday on a short term spending bill, but it failed. 21 House Republicans voting against the measure that would have funded the government through the end of october. Late friday, after more than a two hour contentious gop conference meeting. Speaker mccarthy floating a two week clean, short term funding bill with no attachments. This, i think if we had a clean one without ukraine on it, we could probably be able to move that through. I think if the senate puts ukraine on there and focuses ukraine over america, i think think that could cause real problems. White house estimates that 3. 5 million federal workers will have to go without pay if the government shuts down. That includes more than 2 million members of the military. Our Service Members will keep upholding their oath, showing up for work, standing sentinel around the world, keeping our country secure. But they wont get paid. Its a disgrace. About 20,000 Border Patrol officers could also soon be forced to work without pay. Nearly 58,000 tsa officers and 13,000 air traffic controllers. When you stop pay and you send people home, that affects real people and real lives. Theyve got bills, theyve got mortgages, theyve got medical payments, theyve got car payments, they got gas they got to pay for food. National parks and passport offices will close and millions of low income parents who rely on the Food Assistance program, wick could see their benefits cut off trying to find the way out of this, i firmly believe if there are no winners in a Government Shutdown, some of the republicans refusing to an agreement are threatening to oust Kevin Mccarthy as speaker if he works with democrats and he fillled abc news washington. This morning, we want to take some time to honor the late senator Dianne Feinstein. Since her passing, weve been taking a look back at some of her most memorable actions in her political career. Senator feinstein was known to be hard working and, quote, tough as nails. It comes with no surprise that she spent her last days in the senate working. She cast her final vote around noon on thursday. She walked unassisted on the senate floor and then voted in favor of a short term spending bill intended to avert a Government Shutdown. The senator passed away later that night. She was 90 years old, and since her passing tributes have been pouring in, we spent all day friday talking to bay area leaders and National Leaders about their encounters with her and her legacy. Abc7 news insider phil matier reflected on what feinstein meant to San Francisco. So and he had an interesting analogy. She was the principal, you know, at the school. The principal that made sure everything ran okay. You know, you had your teachers, you had your students, but there was always the principal. She kept her hand in everything. Yes but she made it kind of orderly and, you know, and would blow the whistle. But in 1979, when the cable cars were literally falling apart, she went out there and got them fixed. She one of the reasons why San Francisco skyline looks the way it does is because of her. She revitalized a number of things in the city and in the bay area because thats what she was interested in. Like i said, she was the principal. Well, can there ever be another Dianne Feinstein . No, you can. You can. You can fill the seat, but you cant fill the person. A political colleague from the bay area who is also serving in washington is remembering feinstein. Abc7 news anchor dan ashley spoke with congresswoman Mark Desaulnier, who represents parts of the east bay. What are your thoughts today as you look back on her life and career . Oh, im just so grateful that she was a friend. Shes so filled with tenacity, thoughtfulness, but also a grace that i wish there were more of right now in washington, d. C. Weve heard that a lot today that despite her toughness and she was tough, she was also kind, compassionate and warm. Yes. How she carried herself, i mean, was more liberal than her. But always respected her. She was an and she was a person of great consequence. She could get things done, which we need more of right now in politics. He emphasized the late senators grace and manner in her dealings with colleagues. And he also says she had the respect of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. Thats something that weve also been hearing a lot. Dianne feinstein was an ally to the lgbtq plus community, but our history with the community was more complicated than many people realize. Cleve jones is a gay rights activist who was part of the lgbt movement while feinstein was mayor. She was very adept at sending signals to the community that she supported us, acknowledged us at a time when very few politicians did at all. But it would only go so far. And jones also points out that while feinstein would perform Partnership Ceremonies for gay couples, she was one of the last politicians to support gay marriage. And during the aids crisis, feinstein had to make some controversial choices like closing bathhouses in the city. But overall, leaders believe she was able to save many lives. And we sent you this alert. So you could read more about her impact on the bay area and the nation.

Its a question that all San Francisco giants are asking this morning. Who will be the next general manager . The organization fired gabe kapler yesterday after four seasons of him leading the team. Abc7 News Reporter jared stone has all the details. Good saturday morning to you. The San Francisco giants making National Headlines on friday. Manager gabe kapler is out after just four seasons and just days after the team was eliminated from the playoffs. In those four seasons, kapler led the team to the playoffs just one time. Farhan zaidi, head of baseball operations for the giants, said. We viewed ourselves as a playoff team, expected to be a playoff team and were not a playoff team. Attendance is also down since 2021. Thats a big deal for a team like the giants, whose often top five in attendance here is farhan, who spoke on friday, followed by analyst abc sports director larry beil. Its ultimately my job to put a product on the field that our organization is proud of and that our fans are proud of and frankly, it just hasnt happened the last couple of years. Look the giants do. They had to do something. And frankly, its a lot easier to dump your manager than your whole roster. But this team has been in a freefall coming down the stretch. They dropped out of the wild card playoff chase lifeless. Even worse, they were just boring. And when your star pitcher logan webb says big changes need to be made while the first change came with gabe kapler being let go after four seasons, kapler the opposite of the man he replaced, the beloved bruce bochy, who oh, by the way, has texas in first place. Kapler is an analytics driven skipper. He lives and dies with his platoon system, clearly rubbed some pitchers the wrong way with a lack of defined roles. But let us be real here. This was a mediocre roster with only two bona fide starting pitchers. Ironically, when capra led the giants to a 107 win season in 2021, that was fools gold. The giants thought they were good. They were real contenders in reality, the whole roster overachieved. The squad was not nearly as good as it appeared, and the Minor League System this is on farhan zaidi has not produced big time stars. Now the question is who takes over and will that help the giants land a star free agent in the off season . No. Gabe kapler managing the giants after his firing, but they still had a game on friday night. The start of a final three game series against the dodgers. Thairo estrada head lightning. To start things off, he receives the 2023 willie mac award. His daughter even threw out the first pitch to him. I think shes got a future on the mound. On to the game first inning and the dodgers say we are in first place in the division and this is why will smith got dodgers with an early lead up three one in the third. And Wilmer Flores says i can do that too. Mr. 2022 willie mac award winner make it 3 to 2 in the top of the sixth. Hey, i think we got a game right. Um, maybe not. Thats a negative. J. D. Martinez line drive three run shot dodgers go up 6 to 2. And that was the final dodgers win. 6 to 2. Have a great weekend, everybody. I am j. R. Stone. All right, j. R, thank you so much.
