Abc news, west palm beach, florida. Well people across the u. S. Continue to rush to pay their property taxes by the end of the year because of the republican tax plan that alters deductions. Some filers who itemize will not be able to deduct all of their property taxes, so theyre trying to save money by paying their april installment before the enof the year so they can deduct that payment on their 2017 taxes. Tax professionals though say this does not make sense for everyone to make an early payment, so make sure to talk to your accountant first. Proposal to ease congestion on bay area highways, but it comes at a price. Abc 7 News ReporterAmy Hollyfield is live in San Francisco tracking potential new express lanes on 280 and 101, amy, whats the catch . Reporter youve got to pay to play, natasha. If you feel the need for speed, youre going to have to pay a toll. Thats the idea being tossed around adding an express lane to the 280 and the 101, but it would cost you some drivers tell us, they arent so sure its worth it. Traffic planners Say Something has got to change on highways 101 and 280 to ease the congestion. The highways dont have car pool lanes, but as experts started setting the possibility of adding them, they also started considering another idea. An express lane that drivers would pay to use. I can see how that would have a benefit to people, you know, paying, paying extra to go in the faster lane and other city us in the world do it, so why not us . Reporter thats one way of looking at it, when it comes down making the payment, there can be some hesitation. People generally use toll, toll lanes, right . If it saves them ten minutes each right, probably. I dont know if i would use it though. Reporter that thats crazy, we pay enough. Parking and everything else. Thats going to get congest to do. Theres not enough room anywhere. You know, so yeah, i dont know, im tired of paying for everything. Reporter a few supervisors pushed back asking about where the money would go, and would the congestion in the other lanes push traffic to the neighborhoods . Drivers say they would have to weigh the cost against their needs. It depends on how much it was and how much of a rush i was, you know i dont know. Probably not. Reporter i just talked with a spokesperson for the transportation authority, he tells me theyre still studying this. Theyre in the early phases. They dont even know yet what they would charge you to drive in that lane. The next step is to get funding from the board of supervisors to city this even further. Theyre going to seek that in january or february. So something to watch in the new year. Reporting live in San Francisco, Amy Hollyfield, abc 7 news. Absolutely, we appreciate the head start, thanks, amy. Right now it is illegal in california for an Alcohol Company to provide you a free ride home when youve been drinking at an event, that will change come january 1st. Under the new law, alcohol manufacturers can partner with a ride share or cab company to make arrangements for your transportation. Some groups are opposing the change, they say the bill allows for manufacturers to promote the overconsumption of alcohol. People who spoke with abc 7 news disagree. I think its freedom of choice ultimately, i dont think its going to cause necessarily people to drink more than they would. I think people will be going to these parties to drink or at least thatll be part of it, so i think providing free rides makes perfect sense. Well the rides could come in the form of a voucher or a discount code. Warriors fans dont miss the detail on new swag going on later today. Could this be the perfect postchristmas diet tip .

They took 1,000 people and tested their blood sugar after every meal and found that different people react to the same food differently.
