Reforms happening. Reporter in san jose that reform is taking shape as measure g. What is critical about this is the expansion of the independent please auditors is possibility over all Police Involved shootings, and uses a force that resulted in serious injury. Reporter it would make a change to the city charter to allow for expanding the powers of the independent Police Auditor if approved the city council would then have to decide exactly what those powers are. The mayor wants to give the office full investigative authority. As i propose a couple of months ago, to move investigations out of the Police Department and into the independent Police Auditors office, after the death of george boyd, there is a broad recognition, that a major city Police Departments, greater ability, greater transparency. They will be the first to say this. In fact the San Jose Police union said it is in favor of measure g but is wary of and i please bias in the office. Reasonable oversight over the Police Department by a true independent Police Auditor is something that they support. Those efforts have either died at the city Council Level or the auditors moved on before any changes could be made. This is the first time voters will be allowed to weigh in and if approved, would represent the first significant changes to the office, since it was formed in 1993. In san jose, len ramirez, kpix5. Supporters rally today in San Francisco to protest President Trump and the corporations. They said corporations are using tax loopholes to avoid paying their fair share. Teachers, nurses and other essential workers gathered out by the building that is co owned by the president. A yes vote on top 15 woodman property taxes on most commercial Properties Worth more than 3 million would go up. Is providing funding to local governments and schools. Supporters say it will reclaim 12 billion every year. We have seen huge corporations in San Francisco and in california get wealthy, that is why is the fifth largest economy but that money needs to go to the needs and those are the children. Opponents say it is a 12. 5 billion property tax increase that raises the cost of living and makes everything we buy more expensive. At about 22, i guess both would mean apps based rideshare into the Delivery Company drivers would remain independent contractors but opponents say 80 of drivers are people of color and have no benefits or protections. They are taking advantage of. We should not allow corporations to buy labor laws. For the benefit of themselves. When they continuously exploit their workers.

San Jose State University Political Science professor and political strategist on has worked on several sprinkler nominations and she joins us now. Thank you so much for joining us. Lets begin with the statements from senators Kamala Harris is that a potential civil majority on the high court could be disastrous if the Affordable Care act is repealed. Can you provide some insight into that . I can. She gave a long list of issues and cases that are really in the queue to come before the Supreme Court soon. And because the court has been 54, has been split about 504, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg was in the progressive camp, switching that seat to someone like amy coney barrett, who is very well known to be conservative on a number of issues, could tilt the balance of the court for a whole generation to come, so that was the essence of her argument. So given of the hearing started today, how unusual is it that the Senate Judiciary committee has already scheduled a vote to approve judge barrett on thursday . Its a little unusual, typically the people who are working on the confirmation process have a sense of when the vote will be but making it explicit and nailing down a date is unusual but of course these are unusual times, taking a boat like this just days before a president ial election when the white house and the senate are potentially up for a flip. That means that maybe the Supreme Court could be, too, so that is a lot at stake in the next few days. A lot can happen the next two days because it is 2020 after all. Lets talk about the idea of adding more justices to the Supreme Court. It has been talked about for years now but how realistic is that now and is at the right thing to do to balance out the court potentially . My view of that is that it is an idea worth discussing better not see it as imminent politically. I i think it is quite right before any kind of real action. The progressive activist point out that this seat, the Ruth Bader Ginsburg seat, is being rushed to be filled, just days before the election. And they point out further that four years ago, there is a seat that should have gone to merrick garland, president obamas nominee for a vacancy, that was held open for the next election for over a year in President Trump to fill it, so it is the contention that there are two seats that were effectively stolen that are not legitimately theres and that the best way to move forward in the longterm is by with a wood call rebalancing the court, adding additional seats rather than justices of that is the background and explanation for why they favorite that approach.
