So its just more stuff that they are just trying to cut and making the window of opportunity a little bit smaller. The news comes a year after california voters approved proposition 30, a tax to end School Budget cuts. Fewer than 10 of voters in antioch went to the polls yesterday but those who did voted overwhelmingly in favor of raising their own taxes. Ann notarangelo explains why. Reporter this young man waited hours to talk to an Antioch Police officer about a burglary. There are only 85 sworn officers in the city. Thats the same number they had in 1990. But thats going to change because voters approved a half cent sales tax increase which will bring in nearly 5 million a year. Its been promised to the police department. In 2010 voters rejected a similar proposal. But in the last few years its become abundantly clear that Police Resources have gone down and crime has gone up. The light bulb went on in the community. Reporter vice mary rocha says voters didnt believe them before when they said the city was out of money and cuts would be drastic but last year Violent Crime went up nearly 31 and property crime went up almost 23 .

A lot of car buyers pay extra for Service Agreements on those extended warranties hoping of course to protect themselves from some expensive repair bills. Julie watts on the consumerwatch explains that extra protection may not pay off. Reporter Denise Meyers hopes for the best but plans for the worst. So back in july, when meyers bought in used ford escape, she shelled out an extra 2,500 for a service contract. They said its a used car and it will give you peace of mind so if something goes wrong you will be covered. Reporter but when the escape broke down 10 days later the Service Department informed me that the catalytic converter had melted and that that was the one thing that was not covered under my warranty. Reporter a month later when the car broke down again, that repair wasnt covered, either. I think what catches most people by surprise is what is not covered. Reporter the state department of insurance says most Service Contracts and repair agreements have lots of exceptions and often wont cover items that break most frequently. Bonnie was shocked to find out the extended platinum warranty she bought for her 2012 prius didnt cover her wobbly arm rest. I was told by the finance manager that this was a bump evertobumper warranty and covered everything but the tires. Reporter but as she found out that wasnt exactly the case. They said no that the break was my fault and that they wouldnt cover it. Reporter so why do dealers sell the policies in the first place . Kinkade says its about the money. They get a Big Commission on these policies. Reporter and she says in some cases the people who sell them dont even understand them. It is really a buyer beware situation. Reporter something dennise says she wished she had known before she shelled out her money. I felt it was worth the extra money to have peace of mind. Reporter its just too bad that peace of mind didnt last very long. Now, keep in mind, because dealers sell these on commission, if you do want a service contract, the price is almost always negotiable. And if you change your mind, California Law allows buyers to cancel within 30 to 60 days depending on the type of contract, if you have not filed a claim. And remember if you have a consumer problem, give us a call. You better have somebody to borrow the money from. What do you do if you cant get it or dont want it . Reporter Consumer Reports says put money aside for repairs instead of paying for one of these contracts up front. In the long run youll save money. Right. Okay. Thanks, julie. The daredevil known as jet man can add japans mt. Fuji to his list of flying feats. The swiss aviator strapped a jetpack to his back and took off he flew a total of nine times at speeds up to 185 miles an hour. He has also flown other the grand canyon and the English Channel but says his mt. Fuji joyride was a whole different experience. They say always be yourself. But if you cant, you want to be jet man. Yeah jet man. Superhero. I think i have had that dream. [ laughter ] thats a dream . 185 miles an hour in the skies . Thats cool. When you woke up . Well, thats a whole different story. Whiplash. We had a little bit of a change today. Something to talk about. Clouds oh watch out we have some clouds out there. What a beautiful postsunset sky we have. Just some high, thin cirrus cloud cover but believe it or not, this actually does have a direct correlation to our next rain chance from oakland back towards San Francisco, visibility not that great especially in the afternoon. A little hazy outside. We are finding ourselves in the mid to upper 60s currently. Oakland at 69 degrees. San jose, santa rosa and livermore all at 67. Concord 65. San francisco 66 degrees. Lets talk about tonight. Not as chilly because we have that little blanket of cloud cover over top of us. Mid40s away from the water, fairfield, vacaville, fremont, union city in the mid40s. San Jose Milpitas right around 50. 51 for San Francisco and san bruno. San rafael coming down to 46 degrees overnight tonight. Speaking of 46, 46 days, 46 days without rainfall in autumn. Thats crazy. Last time we had rain, september 21. Lets talk about the change. The sign that were seeing with that cloud cover moving in is the ridge of High Pressure which has been the blocking ridge taking all the rainfall and keeping it up to our north. The blocking ridge is now finally beginning to move. As it moves off to the east we can see just a little bit of cloud cover moving in from the pacific over into Northern California and likely over your house wherever you are throughout the bay area. So that High Pressure ridge will begin to move. But its going to take about four or five more days before it moves enough for a storm to make it down here to the bay area. So High Pressure is moving. But its also still strong so the next front that swings by the next few days will keep the rainfall to the north. Temperatures will drop. Well be a little bit cloudy but not that much of a change in our sensible weather. Next week it will change. The ridge will be over nevada and arizona far enough away that we will see the next storm system from the top of next week likely veterans day, will dive down and give us a good soaker some computer models suggesting between onethird and one half inch of
