Time now is 10 19 and governor gavin newsom is facing questions this morning after a new law contains a loophole that appears to favor someone who donated to his campaign. Last year the governor signed a law increasing the minimum wage to 20 an hour for most fast food chains. But an exception was made for change that make bread and salad. Now, bloomberg article this week suggests the exemption was made by newsom to benefit one of his donors. Greg flynn, a bay area native who owns 24 panera bread franchises across the state. Republicans in the state legislature are now demanding an immediate ethics investigation. Weve got complete ethical problem going on here where a billionaire Business Owner has put in a special exemption into a bill and we dont even know how it got in there in in the first place and then has made over 150,000 in Campaign Contributions to the governor. This is unacceptable that friends of the party in power get exemptions and thats not right. And if this is a bad law for one company, its probably a bad law for every company. The Assembly Member who authored the law says he was not directly involved in the negotiations. He doesnt know why that exemption was included. He also says he wasnt aware of any relationship between newsom and flynn. I carried do. And ive become more aware i wasnt a spokesperson for newsom responded to the bloomberg article by issuing the statement you see on your screen. It reads, quote, the governor never met with flynn about this bill. And this story is absurd. Our legal team has reviewed and it appears panera is not exempt from the law. In the north bay. This law, the county Sheriffs Department now investigating a body found along interstate 80 in vallejo. The mans identity not released yet, but police say he was found near georgia street. The offramp there. Investigators say the man appears to be in his mid 30s, but they would not offer any more details beyond that.

All right, john, thank you. 10 31 the time and kron for your local election headquarters and the list of candidates to be San Franciscos next. Mayor. As potentially growing, we have sources telling us the board of supervisors president aaron peskin will officially enter the race sometime next week. Proper is. Michael thomas is in the newsroom following the story. Michael, hi, good morning, everyone. Thats right. No supervisor aaron peskin is not officially announced or launched his mayoral campaign. But sources tell kron 4 we could be seeing that official announcement as early as next week in this decision to really run is based in part on former San Francisco mayor mark farrell decision to also joined the race and the idea behind that is that theres currently no progressive candidate in the race right now when it comes to supervisor peskin, hes currently serving as the president of the San Francisco board of supervisors and hes been on and off of the board since the early 2, thousands. However, its currently set to run out when it comes to his term later this year. If he does officially joined the race, well, he could be joining incumbent mayor london breed along with supervisor ahsha safa e philanthropist, daniel lurie. And of course, former San Francisco mayor and supervisor mark farrell, a poll that was done earlier back in february of by the San Francisco chronicle showed that a majority of residents in San Francisco actually dont improve with the way that mayor london breed is currently running the city. That poll included a total of 800 more than likely to vote voters with a 70 of them saying that they disapprove of the mayors performance overall saying that they were not satisfied and disappointed with how the mayor has been handling public safety, homelessness, drug overdoses and housing affordability. When the question of who residents are leaning towards for the mayor vote, former interim mayor mark farrell, as you see there on your screen, he actually got the highest percentage out of all of the candidates. However, 38 of residents either said none or that they were currently undecided. Now, the last day to officially join the mayoral race is june 11. So as we get more word from supervisor peskin will continue to keep you updated lead this morning in the newsroom. Im michael thomas. James, well send it back to you. Okay, michael, thank you very much. Kron 4 is highlighting the top candidates in San Franciscos race for mayor and one of those contenders is a philanthropist and air to levi strauss for Stephanie Lin sat down with candidate daniel lurie who says San Francisco has a broken city hall. Im asked the votersl do you really believe that someone who has helped create this system is the right person to change that culture, to fix that broken system. Could a political outsider become San Franciscos next mayor . Its the position daniel lurie hopes resonates with voters in a crowded race. And and the perception. Lawlessness is an acceptable part of life in San Francisco. I have committed my life to issues of poverty. I believe that i understand what is at stake. A San Francisco native and heir to the levi strauss fortune lurie founded the antipoverty nonprofit Tipping Point in 2005 raising hundreds of millions of dollars to fight homelessness in the bay area. We need to build more affordable housing. We have to get people job training and employment skills. He also served as chairman of the super bowl, 50 Host Committee working with local officials to bring millions in tourism and business dollars to the bay area. If you are elected mayor, whats the first issue you recruiting and retaining a police force . We were down 700 police officers. Its going to take us some time. No question about that. But weve got to give them tools to do their job. Then were going to be cleaning our streets. Youre coming up off the overpasses. You come down 6 street. Its going be pristine. The first image of San Francisco and our visitors and our travelers are tourists come here has got to be a city that is clean and safe and vibrant. As for the citys fight against chronic homelessness, we still havent built enough shelter. Pets. If you build enough shelter beds, which you could do in a matter of months. That you offer some a shelter bed. Dont take it. Thats their right. But is not there right then to stay on the street. Lurie proposing a different strategy to stopping the citys revolving door of drug dealers. Any firsttime offenders must wear an ankle monitor. We can track people and once they are in. One of the climbers like the tenderloin or in soma. They would be subject to a search condition acknowledging electronic monitoring does not fall under the mayors purview. You have the power of the this is not something you the mayor just decrees and it happens and thats where my background comes that we need to send a message to everybody. But you dont come here to deal drugs to do drugs. You come here, youre going get the help that you need. But you cannot be on our streets. Lurie promising a different approach to leading the city. One that starts, he says with accountability when something goes wrong in this city, its going to be my fault. Im it. Take ownership. Im tired of the fingerpointing. I think everybody elses as well in San Francisco, Stephanie Lin kron, 4 news. 10. 36 the time in the east bay bay area. Faith leaders gathered in support Alameda County District Attorney pamela price as she faces a recall attempt. The group says they like prices approach of Holding People accountable for the crimes they commit. And she says she should be allowed to finish out her term. And we believe that have is giving hope. And the thought i put in for hope is just helping other people even if they got in trouble, then united would come with a price that she is someone who stands for peace, stand for justice and want to right by our community. Well, the Organization Behind the effort to oust price as they have already enough signatures needed to put the recall on the ballot. If those signatures are verified a recall election would take place next june. Well, San Jose Police arrested 2 suspects now in connection with a homicide in december of last year. It was back in december where police were called to an incident on snow drive the report of a gun being fired.

Why family has been fighting them for centuries in 2021. Fans of the Frank Herberts scifi novel dune. Didnt know what to expect from the french canadian director denis villeneuve. What weve got back then was a larger than life epic story of family power, love and fast forward to today and dune part 2 is bigger and bolder and even more epic than before. Maybe 2 epic in some ways. Its a story about battling factions of nomads and royals of ancient and civil wars as young warrior who survived an attack that wiped out most of his family who ruled the desert planet seeks revenge. And that is the most bare bones explanation of what this movie is about. And believe me, theres almost nothing that is their bones about this movie. Nothing fancy understand. The stories are multilayered and super complex based on the original novel without much left out, fans should be able to follow along. But if youre a newcomer to all of this, fully expect to get lost in the names and places and mythology its like theyre speaking a foreign language. If youre not familiar with the book are you havent seen part one. Forget about it entirely. That said its not completely impossible to follow along, although i had to see the movie twice in order to absorb what was being thrown at should you really have to see a movie more than to get whats going on. All of that said due in part to is one of the most visually beautiful movies that ive ever seen. Incredible sand swept cinematography with overwhelming the original sites technologies and even creatures visually. It reminded me of the first time that i saw a star wars movie, the creativity here is stunning. But at the end of the day for me, its always about story. And as best as i could decipher the formula for this one, is that good people and good intentions are battling evil for the world as they know what as impressive as the look of this efficiently may 2 and a half hour saga is the galaxy of superstars contained in it shined the brightest at the top of the list is the impressive Timothee Chalamet leading the pack is the reluctant young rebel sunday. A expands or presents here into a more powerful elvis star Austin Butler plays it deliciously evil with javier bardem, florence pugh, josh brolin. Christopher walken day, but he each adding something special. So for now enjoy part 2. Do your homework before you go.

Thats for sure, especially for the sierra. So, james, weve been keeping a close eye on this view from diamond peak the snow is not piled up on the deck and thats because it keeps blowing off. We have 75 to 100 mile per hour. Wind gusts already reported up in the sierra as you can see that heavy snow continues not just in the sierra, but also the north coast ranges here in the bay area. Its been relatively quiet by comparison today, but the latter half of the day today, were actually going to see some thunderstorm activity kicking into gear more and more. You see that drifting overhead in futurecast coming afternoon and especially Late Afternoon after sunset into the evening as see some of our heaviest of downpours here locally tomorrow morning. We do have snowfall thats going to fall in the mountains of northern sonoma and napa counties as well as lake and mendocino counties but cant ignore that 40 even 12 feet of snowfall. That will be seeing up in the Sierra Nevada over the next 24 hours here because without and those strong winds, i mentioned blizzard warnings will remain in effect as we make our way through the weekend.
