And then the race will be here. And donald trump delivering the keynote spree speech this friday, and this comes as celebrated voters can decide the outcome of the donald trump fate as a possible republican nominee. In the bay area, we dont normally see anything other than candidates raising money here, not campaigning. We are expecting to see some rallies, and Campaign Activity that we have not seen in decades. Donald trump has hired strategist tim clark to direct his statewide campaign, and john kasich will speak after donald trump and ted cruz on saturday. John kasich will be here in San Francisco ahead of that. And meeting at the commonwealth club, taking questions on economic issues, national security, Foreign Affairs and energy. Tickets are cheap, starting at 35,000. And we will hear from our insiders in the next halfhour, and the donald trump changing image. They say he may be playing a part when he is planning to be the president ial candidate. His own campaign is saying that. Or is that is normal persona, we will break it down. Five candidates hoping to represent california in the u. S. Senate holding their first debate, hoping to fill the shoes of senator barbara boxer, and they will elect one of five people, and there are several former republicans in this debate. They will all be facing off tomorrow at the university of the pacific in stockton, and that is at 6 pm. It will be good to see the debate.

And moraga isnt affluent community, but the city does not see a lot of income when it comes to the tax revenue. Its a serious situation, and there are also gas leaks, so youre talking about safety concerns, and that can be a deadly situation obviously with pg e in san bruno. And speaking of san bruno, it was supposed to be the beginning of the trial in that explosion. The explosion of that pg e pipeline killed eight people and destroy 13 homes, and they are facing criminal convictions, and the judge would have the authority to require more government monitoring. The judge postponed the trial indefinitely, and decided that the defense needed more time to review the documents that the prosecution recently provided. The people that were affected by that blast are frustrated by this delay, and they want to see justice. And there is also already been several rulings, and the bottom line is they will never be able to repay the people for what they lost. Right. They have already paid 1. 6 billion in fines, and no pg e executives are specifically charge, and this could force them to moves on the management system, but overall, it does not look like anybodys going to jail for this. I think many folks would like to put this to bed. We will cover the trial when and if it actually starts. And berkeley is the focus of it hearing. The Senate Committee will discuss what is been done to tighten the oversight of the contractors with the history of construction defects settlements. In the berkeley case, they determined that water was trapped inside the wood during the construction of the balcony that led to the drywall dry rot that killed six people and injured many others. A proposal requiring stricter rules regulating the inspections heading to the appropriations committee. This was inspired by this crash in San Francisco in november, and under the current rules, the chp only inspects a sample of the buses in each leaked, only 70 of the tour buses are not inspected. And certainly when we discovered this, a lot of people were shocked, and did not realize that all of the buses were not inspected. And Bus Companies can maneuver and have certain buses available for inspection. If there were some buses they were concerned about, they may not be inspected. Its a joke. And people think they will be inspected when they get on these tour buses and that they will be safe, but apparently we cannot take that for granted. Back hopefully the new rules will close these loopholes. Tomorrow, the Palo Alto City Council is expected to vote for the ban of two story homes in the manner neighborhood, and the majority of the homes were developed by eichler, and his Signature Design is one story with floor to ceiling windows, and some longtime residents say that the twostory homes would run the neighborhoods original charm and compromise their privacy. What he said people that say just get some curtains. It would change the quality of the interior in particular. I dont think thats right. I am a citizen in palo alto, and we pay our taxes and its taking away one of our rights. The neighborhood includes about 200 homes, and you can understand both sides of the debate, and they eichler design is classic, and the older neighborhoods want to protect that. And its still in over 2 million home, and you may want the ability to someday in the future to add onto the home and to add up. These are things that i dont even think about, and the thought of buying a home, one story, twostory, one that exists. We will see where that debate goes. The brandnew bar car crashes, and trying to calm the fears and more money is on the november ballot. Coming up, we hear from the bart board of directors. And on face the nation, discussing the race issues, after the broadcast, and we will be right back. ,,,, look, i know youre a cow and all. And you may not know what im talking about, but, uh. The yogurt made from your milk, is delicious. Mmmm, yoplait. It overshot a test track ben the south hayward and union an investigation is underway under what caused the new art car to crash, and it overshot the test track and hit a pile of dirt. The 2 million car was going between five and 10 miles an hour, and the workers dug out the front of the car from eight from 8 feet of dirt, and no significant damage. These are what they call the future of the system, and they have ordered 775 of them. We have the bart board of directors president here with us, and tom, is bart getting too big for itself . In some ways, yes. We have spent the greater part of the two decades expanding out into the suburban areas of the region, and not paying enough attention to the center of the system and the ability to carry these writers. We are seeing riders. And we do not have the capacity to serve all of this. With above bond going before the voters in alameda, and into San Francisco counties, asking for 3. 5 billion. Would that make the capacity greater . It will make some big down payments on the capacity. The main thing we will get out of that bond is track work, electrical improvement, and the main thing is the new train control system, allowing us to run the trains faster and closer together. And will that carry more people . It depends on how many railcars. But if you can run the trains close together, we can get 25 more trains into downtown San Francisco every morning. Downtown San Francisco remains the core, and San Francisco voters will pick up the tab, Alameda County taxpayers and Carson Acosta and why shouldnt they be paying in san jose . They never joined the bart district. But with the santa clara station, we made a deal with them. And they pay for the entire extension in the construction, and they will pay for the operation of the extension. And they had to put the money into the capacity improvements to make the extension work. We are in the process of purchasing railcars, and Santa Clara County was the first to pay for the railcars, and they bought the 60 that they needed for the first phase of extension, but we did not cut that deal for the san mateo county. In most of their structure is new, built in the past 15 years, the we need to get them to pay their fair share. I cannot get over how Much Development and the building going on, from the bay point all the way to you name the station and its going up. Any thought to making them charge and pay the fee . Yes, and looking at the other cities, and as we do the impact these, some of that money needs to go to bart. San francisco is been resisting this for 20 years, but they have finally come around, and putting a small amount of money into it. And people making billions of dollars over the landed San Francisco, but the thing that allows all of that to happen is this infrastructure. The transit. Allaround bart. If we can get some of those billions toward the infrastructure, that would help. And get it off of my back, thank you. Now lets take a look at the weather. Live a second half of the interview coming up in the next hour, but first a look at the forecast. Clouds and blue skies would temperatures in the 50s area wide, 52 in San Francisco, 54 in oakland. A little bit breezy, and the wind is the weather headline for today. We will show you what is coming with the future cast. As for cloud cover, mostly sunny to partly cloudy, and we had this system sinking into the northeast. This will bring some showers, but most of the showers will state to the east, and we cannot rule out a stray shower. Do not say i did not warn you if you get a random sprinkle. Most of the rainfall will stay well out of the area, but we will see some high winds. Take a look at 5 00 this evening, wind gusts up to 30 miles an hour along the coast, and 15 to 20 inland. Just to be mindful that it will be windy and a wind advisory is in effect for the coastal locations, continuing overnight tonight and into monday. And the winds will begin to die down on monday, and they advisories will continue through monday. And we could get some showers in the outlying areas, but for most of us will stay dry, but very windy on the second half of the day. The low average temperatures for this time of year, upper 60s is the hyper most people in the south bay, and around 70 degrees, and samestore into east bay. A sprinkle or two possible in the east bay, and around the bay, the wind is the main story with temperatures in the low 60s. And just like the warmer, upper 60s near 70 for the north bay. Your extended forecast on temperatures staying on the cool side, is below average, and dry through midweek. The next chance for showers is wednesday into thursday, and right now, we are looking dry for the next weekend. Uber has settled a lawsuit to keep their drivers as independent contracts, and we take a look at the impact it will have on the industry as a whole. ,,,,,,,,, drivers as independent contractors. Drivers in california an welcome back. Uber is shelling out 100 million to keep their drivers as independent contractors. Uber says that the drivers should be freelancers, and uber agreed to allow the drivers to post signs asking for tips. And we asked the former mayor brown and analyst melissa kane how big was the settlement. Pretty big. There is a combination of things going on. You have people that are genuinely working and they need the assistance, they need healthcare and all of the kinds of things that go with real employment. And you cannot be giving them directions and not have them under your control. That is the kind of thing that went on inside this courtroom. And in addition, those of us from organized labor are raising serious questions about these independent contracting, and if you do not show up for the labor rally or the labor dues, and you do not show what to support me when im running. Youre talking about the drivers . Absolutely. How do we stay ahead of this . It is difficult, and they are looking to create a new Legal Definition of something between an independent contractor an employee, and germany has an in between legal status where they get provided some benefits but not all of the benefits of employees, and you see these companies lobbying in congress to try to create a different legal framework. Do you think that the tech will try to exercise its strings through polls politics or the courts, or the bureaucracy . Who is going to have the biggest influence here . Let me assure you of one thing. In the world of tech, they have the best brown brainpower if they need it. And i suspect that after this decision, inside of those boardrooms, inside of those think tanks, there will be a creative ands a solution that will be marketable and sold. We tried to say that, but you had that bureaucrat at the Treasury Department in San Francisco that say you also need individual business licenses. The bureaucracy move slow, but it is a tank that rolls over you. And in San Francisco, they couldve given the uber drivers the ability to organize, and it died because i get to do is look at the politicians extensive report. Wait a minute. That is all we have time for right now. Back based only on the basis of residency. All in. Back that is all we have time for for now, folks, and take care. We are talking about the important part of this, the president s it will set. Thats right. And even though it does not set a day set a legal precedents, it sets a president s in this valley, and in the tech and the economy, and whether they can be classified as employees. Seattle has an association, not a union, but association because they cannot have a union. It certainly sets a precedent, and we will have to see what happens. It is notable that we agreed that we have yet to meet a uber personally that wants to be classified as an employee, and there are most of them that want to be contractors, but there are some clearly that want to be employees. The time is. Good morning, anne makovec. And im julie watts. A lot to talk welcome back to kpix on this sunday morning, and we have a lot to talk about in the next halfhour. Back we are talking about a big vote on the highspeed rail they could solidify the plan to build the first leg of the tracks from the Central Valley to the bay area.
