Well, here we are. Reporter the train left bound for portland, oregon. Emergency, we are on the ground. Reporter radio calls from the crew captured the moments following the derailment. Is everybody okay . Im still figuring that out. We got cars everywhere and down onto the highway. Reporter five crew members were aboard the train, along with 80 passengers.

It could be weeks, even months before theyll be able to say what caused the derailment. The ntsb has a team of about 20 investigators assigned to this crash, and one of their priorities will be finding the trains data recorder.

Both chambers of congress are expected to vote on the tax reform bill today and send it to the president for final approval. Heres some of whats included in the final bill. The Corporate Tax rate will decrease from 35 all the way down to 21 . The standard deduction will increase to 12,000 for individuals and 24,000 for couples. Much of that will be offset by the elimination of the personal exemption. Homeowners with new mortgages can only deduct interest on the first 750,000, down from 1 million. The Child Tax Credit will increase from 1,000 to 2,000, and the individual healthcare mandate which was part of the Affordable Care act is now eliminated. The bill has no support from democrats and theyre criticizing a last minute deduction benefiting those with real estate income, like President Trump and former holdout senator bob corker. Republican lawmakers are downplague the significance of the late change. Picking out one piece in a 1,000page bill and saying, well, this is going to benefit somebody, i just think takes the whole bill out of context. In a statement senator corker said that he had, quote, no knowledge of the pass through provision in question. House gop leaders plan to hold a floor vote this afternoon and the senate will vote later in the day. Kpix5 has learned San Francisco is facing legal action over its struggling taxi industry, specifically taxi medallions. For years they were sold for a fortune burks thats all changed. Wilson walker explains the problem its causing for the city. Reporter 25 year 25 years ive done this job. Ive always complied with the rules and regulations. Im just trying to earn an honest living. Reporter take a ride with taxi cab driver chris french and youll hear an increasingly familiar story. I went ahead and bought a medallion. Like i said, it just keeps getting worse. Reporter yes, we are talking about taxi medallions. I finally bought my medallion at 23,000. Reporter something drivers in the city have wrestled over since the 70s. Ive got three sons i thought i was going to leave it to. Reporter thats because those medallions were the only way to drive a cab in the city. There were a restricted that literally drove the demand for taxis and the medallions themselves, so they were long considered a license to make money. Some drivers spending 10 10, 15, 20 years on a waiting list just for a chance to buy one. There i am. Reporter Flash Forward to the late 2000s when San Francisco faced a problem, a shortage of cabs ond the street and a 50 million budget shortfall at the smta really the only direction i received from the powers that be at the time were to sell medallions. Reporter christine highashi one time the head of the taxi program now retired, she was asked to restructure the Medallion Program in 2008. I think San Francisco was looking at the new york medallion system and seeing there was a tremendous revenue opportunity that they were not taking advantage of at the time. Reporter and that was the idea, turn demand for medallions into a money maker for the city, but 250,000 a pop, thats a house in a normal real estate market, so the city needed a lending partner to issue medallion loans, and they found one just two blocks away from city hall. San francisco federal credit union is doing the financing. 1,000 a month, i made the payment, i have 1,500 left over for myself and that seemed like a good deal, so i went for it. Reporter initially drivers bought medallions. The city made millions of dollars in transfer fees and the credit union was collecting interest on those loans. [ horn honking ] reporter only Something Else was happening at the very same moment. Mover or fly wheel or lips or mustache. Reporter just as the city finalized the taxi Medallion Program, ride sharing was disrupting and on its way to crippling the taxi industry. [ horn honking ] reporter now in cabs across San Francisco, medallions have turned into Something Like a troubled mortgage. So im giving up. Itll be enough maybe i can keep up with my loan payments and hold onto the medallion until they can sell it. Reporter last time the city sold a medallion . April of 2016. What its worth, you know, its really questionable. If there is not a line of people willing to pay 250,000 for a medallion, does the system work . Clearly not. Reporter but theres an even larger problem brewing tonight, the Credit Unions medallion portfolio. Ive heard an anecdotally that some people who bought medallions are literally walking away from their loans. Reporter in fact, kpix5 has learned that the San Francisco federal credit union has now foreclosed on 70 medallion loans. The credit union has also filed a legal claim against San Francisco as stakeholders increasingly blame the city for a medallion market that fell apart when tens of thousands of nonmedallioned cars were allowed to hit city streets. The city should give us our money back. The taxi drivers told us at that time, why arent you enforcing the laws against these illegal market participants. Reporter do you feel like the city undercut you . Yeah. I feel like they stabbed me in the back. Reporter now, this is a second complaint filed against the city, this one from the medallion buyers alliance. Now, back to the credit union, they say theyre sitting on 125 million of, quote, impaired loans. The city has hired a consultant to try to sort all this out, but tonight no answers as to who is going to clean this mess up and who is responsible for that medallion debt. In San Francisco, wilson walker, kpix5. Time now 4 42. After dozens of freeway shootings in the east bay in recent years, a major attempt is under way to put them to a stop. Plus a Northern California burglar does his best santa claus imitation. But things dont quite work out the way he had hoped. A new danger is emerging for Police Responding to side shows.

Gunfire on bay area freeways is a growing concern and kpix5s joe vazquez reports the city of pittsburgh is taking action to try rand stop it. Reporter and stop it. Reporter for over a decade, video cameras have been hovering over many of the city streets and thats precisely why the Pittsburgh Police chief says gang members have been choosing to shoot each other on the freeways. Individuals know its difficult to do shooting on city streets. We have cameras all over the area. So what we found is that gang members will target other gang members and they will specifically follow them and wait until they get on the freeway and then shoot at them. Reporter Officials Say thats about to change. The Pittsburgh City Council Voted to host a Regional Security program. As a person, as a citizen, someone that lives and drives on interstate 80, im going to drive on that freeway a lot more [ inaudible ] reporter the new freeway Security Network project as its called will run along highway 4 through pittsburgh and then along interstate 80 up to richmond. The new socalled pan, tilt, zoom cameras can record traffic going by, read license plates of passing cars and listen for gunfire with special microphones. The shot spotter once shots are fired on the freeway will activate the tilt zoom cameras and turn them in the direction of the gunfire. And then an alert will go to our task force commander. The task force thats investigating the freeway shootings. And hell be able to log into that camera system through a smart device. So well have eyes on the freeway basically in realtime. Reporter clearly the new system will help investigations. But officials also hope they will keep the gunman from opening fire on the freeways in the first place. In pittsburgh, joe vazquez, kpix5.
