Com where you get Free Shipping on orders of 75 or more. The white house unveiled its plan for tax reform. The administrations proposal leaves many questions unanswered including how much it will cost. Its being met with skepticism. Reporter the Trump Administration is unveiling a proposal to cut taxes, for individuals, the administration plans on bringing down rates and simplifying the personal tax code. We are taking the current seven tax brackets and reducing them to three, a 10 bracket, a 25 and a 35 bracket. The white house wants the top tax rate down to 35 , he also wants to double the current standard deduction. We are going to double the standard deduction to a married couple will not pay taxes on the first 25,000 of money they urn. The administration said the rate will also be available to small businesses. We will have a one time tax on overseas profits that will bring back trillions of dollars that are offshore. So far republicans and wall street appear pleased. Republican leaders said the plans principles will be happy but democrats argue that the plan does not pay for itself, something that the white house disputes. This will pay for itself with growth and reduction of different deductions and closing loopholes. So far there is not an official cost estimate for the plan. For more on the plan laid out by President Donald Trump we are joined with the director of the tax program at san oa say state. What do you think about the plan. Its similar to what he proposed when he was campaigning. What do you like and what do you dislike . Is it will make it easier for advise, the deductions will make it easier. He called for the repeal of the amt or alternative minimum tax. Thats a positive. What is the negative, in your opinion . I think that the negatives are, first, we do not have much detail so is hard to analyze plus the concern of a big drop in the rates for corporations and businesses, how could you do that without increasing the deficit. To go from a first time 5 corporate rate to 15 , thats a cost of about 2 trillion over 10 years, highway do you make up that revenue. Would they not argue that if you cut the corporate tax, it helps the businesses, the businesses grow and they hire for people and thats good for the economy. There is an element of economic growth. The taxes reduced will pay to hire people. The house plan called for dropping the rate to 20 , there is a big difference between trump and the house, which is revenue neutral . Some democrats are saying the plan is a gift for corporations and billionaires who are like him. There are something tax cuts for higher income people but its a good chance that we will see businesses reinvesting the money. But the higher incomes may not put the money back into the economy. For someone that makes, 25,000 to 100,000 a year, what should they think when they hear about the plan. They should through that there is not much of a change in their tax liability. It may go down a bit not not a lot. Do you think that the plan has much chance of passing . If we can get consensus, yes, but if is like the Affordable Care act, they cannot agree. They need consensus on the white house, the house and the senate to move the plan along. Thank you, we appreciate your time. Thank you. Learning lessons from the deadly oakland warehouse fire, coming up, the move the city of alameda just made to improve inspections, i have an interview with fire cleave doug long we have more coming up on ktvu news right after the break who are these people . The Energy Conscious people among us say small actions can add up to something. Humongous. A little thing here. A little thing there. Starts to feel like a badge maybe millions can wear. Who are all these caretakers, advocates too . Turns out, its californians its me and its you. Dont stop now, its easy to add to the routine. Join Energy Upgrade california and do your thing. The deadly oakland warehouse fire back in december raised a lot of concerns about fire inspections, are there enough inspectors to get to the hundreds of buildings a year, is a real issue that oakland and other cities are trying to address, including alameda. Doug long is the fire chief there, thank you for joining me. Thank you for having me. You had a Fire Prevention bureau seven years ago, what happened . Due to the downturn in the economy, we had to make budget cuts. So we lost the Fire Prevention bureau and the staff that conducts the fire inspections. What was the bureaus main job . To go out and do fire inspections and permit inspections for events and new construction, followup on complaints. So it was more or less gutted. It sounds like it. Does that mean that there is a backlog in the city of alameda. Right now we have 1600 commercial inspections and 30 residents inspections. In 2016, the commercial inspections were 21 , the residential inspections were 35 , we have a big backlog. When you think about all of those uninspecteddables and you look at what happened in oakland, that has to make you concerned. Yes, we are askinged could Something Like that happen here. The fact is, we do not know, it could happen but until we get into those buildings and inspect them, we do not know what hazards are out there, whether the occupant si has changed or whether people are changing them up or doing things they do not realize are creating as hards. So you pled with the city officials to give you funding to beef up or reinstate this team. They did it to some extent. Tell me about what you have now and when the group will be out there. Is it we have one code Compliance Officer and one administrative technician, we added one fire kpt and plant examiner and two firefighters at the inspector level, that gits our staffing up to seven. We understand that there is a Financial Impact of the city adding positions so we are going to steady what we are getting done and what we are not getting done. You have to be relieved that you are getting the manpower . Yes. I talked about the Lessons Learned out of the deadly oakland warehouse fire, was this on your radar before that happened . Yes, we have been working with the city to develop a plan to show how we are going to manage inspections. The deadly oakland warehouse fire shines a light on what happens if you do not know what is out there and if you are not inspecting buildings. Thank you chief, i am glad to hear that the Prevention Bureau has been beefed up a bit. Thank you again for your time. I appreciate it we have more coming up on ktvu news right after the break. Police are telling us that they have identified multiple suspects in the bart car robbery, 55 teenagers hopped the gates and swarmed a bart car robbing several passengers in a matter of seconds. Investigators are checking Video Surveillance from nads of the car inside of the car. We have identified the suspects involved because we had working cameras on the trains and that provided clear images of the suspects faces, we are working with the District Attorneys Office and with the witnesses. Bart says it has increased Police Presence throughout the system. The robbery has brought the issue on fare evasion to the forefront. We have allie rasmus on the increase in security. The train is going to be held up. Reporter the trains did not stop at the lake merritt station, a station agent noticed a small group of teens passed through the gates without paying, the agent said that the train should not stop as a precaution, the teens left before the police could question them. They hit the emergency door and went up the escalator. Reporter nobody was hurt and no crime occurred but it appears that the police are concerned about the possibility of an onboard robbery, 40 to 60 teens hopped a gate and robbed the passengers onboard in a matter of seconds. Some bart members suggested and the agency change the gates. They are expected to discuss the issue at their meeting tomorrow. As long as it does not stop people from commuting, because that would be a bigger problem. Its good. A bit nor security is fine, i pay the fare and i expect everyone else to do the same thing. Its too easy to get in. Thank you. Advocates say that they want changes at a San Francisco intersection that they say is dangerous for disabled and seniors, they showed us how the lights are not long enough for people to cross before the light turns red. They said the lights caused many near misses and collisions. It takes a lot of time to redesign streets and to do enforcement but changing the time so we can cross the street safely, thats a matter of just going up and eution your Electronic Device and changing the timing. Third street is already a focus of concern for the city. Its listed as a high injury corridor. Speaking of reducing crashes, we have been reporting on a bill in sacramento to bring street cameras to bay area streets to try to reduce deadly crashes. Now thats been put on hold. Joining we is david chu, why did you pull the bill from consideration. It was going through the process, it got through our Assembly Privacy committee but it was held in the Transportation Committee because there are statewide Law Enforcement unions that are concerned that the cameras might be replacing their jobs, we have a crisis on the streets of San Francisco every 18 hours someones loved one is in a terrible crash, we need this tool that has worked well in other cities around the country, that will never replace officers on the streets, it will just supplement the encoursement of laws against speeding. When you talk about the crashes, how many of them do you believe are caused by speeding motorists. The College Republicans<\/a> were one of three organizations that invited ann coulter to speak about immigration, in the wake of violent protests, kerps over the safety of students became paramount. Ann coulter announced this morning that she was not coming, she tweeted, its a dark day for free speech. She wanted to deliver her speech. She was disappointed that she cannot deliver it.

When you talk about the crashes, how many of them do you believe are caused by speeding motorists. The San Francisco<\/a> Police Department<\/a>, our police chief and the California Police<\/a> Chiefs Association<\/a> believes that speeding is the number one cause of these crashes. There are obviously many reasons why terrible things happen on our roads but particularly in our dense neighborhoods, when people speed, we have seen in a recent five years period, over 4100 collisions that involve deaths or serious injuries, many are caused by speed. So we want to bring this tool that has been used in other states successfully into San Francisco<\/a>.

We will make sure that there is signage the bill would limit any ticket to 100. It would not be a point on your record. We want to make sure that we are reminding people that speed kills and you need to Pay Attention<\/a> to the posted splim. Any speed limit. Any idea when you may reintroduce it.
