Fog remains pretty steady and stubborn at the coastline. Winds are a little bit relaxed as compared to yesterday and im expecting less fog into tomorrow morning.

They dealt with the hot spots and then they put a fence right in front of it just to make sure to preserve the scene. I can tell you investigators will be back here a little bit later, especially now now that the sun is up and they will go through there to try to find out what caused the fire as far as the 4 people displaced, they have been absorbed by other nearby buddhist temples to continue with your prayers.

And is coming from both sides the aisle. Capital course. My 8 on wallace has a look. Well keep in mind. The budget is significant because it tells us exactly which programs the governor plans to fund that impact your life. Everything from Public Safety to education. But now some members of his own party say its not about what is funded, but what is not that has them outrage. These are difficult decisions. That was governor gavin newsom friday making it clear hes 288 billion dollar proposed budget. Comes with some painful recommendations. Hes proposing cuts to more than 250 programs across state government. All in his words to help close a projected 27. 6 billion dollars projected shortfall. None of this is. Im kind working. Enjoy but youve got to do we have to be responsible. We have to be accountable specifically. Hes calling for more than 18 billion dollars in cuts on a variety of fronts, including a slash to some 10,000 vacant state jobs and reductions for programs related to Broadband Access water, storage and local and state Public Health departments what i want to know. But the alternative, you know, we can we can eliminate our expansion of health care. We can eliminate. Wages we can limit. We do furloughs into layoffs. We can do a lot of things i want to do those things. But for those who local Public Health departments. They say the proposed cuts will Impact Services across the board. Health professionals worry cuts could ultimately hurt efforts to prepare for a future. Public Health Emergency detrimental. Again, were moving backwards. The bottom line is that if we lose this funding, people will lose their jobs and work will not get done. In a statement, democratic senator Caroline Manzo part of the San Fernando Valley blasted newsoms budget writing do not be deceived. These are not just cuts to administrative costs. These draconian cuts have real life and death consequences and will push our most vulnerable children. Families, an aging californians into homelessness and starvation. But her fellow democrats, including Assembly Speaker robert reverse, an Assembly Budget Committee Chair jesse gabriel. Were more optimistic, noting. Well, newsome is taking 12 billion dollars from the states reserves. They make clear the state will still have at least half of its Rainyday Fund left for future years. Keeping Core Services and tact. Thats newsoms key message on what he considers some of the positives of this budget proposal. Noting it invest in services for Public Safety, education and housing and homelessness. People want they want to see results. The republicans argue newsom could have avoided this entire situation committed to spending less and saving more in previous years. Look, its his own fault because they made all these promises to people all these things. They said theyre going to do and ntw theyre going to have to break those promises. And lawmakers have until june 15 to review the governors proposal and pass a fully balanced budget if they fail to do so. They will not be paid reporting at the State Capitol. Wallace kron. 4 news.

Customers at a San Francisco cafe. Stopped a man from taking off with the womans laptop. A kron fours. Sara stinson spoke with one of the people who help prevent the theft. Police say a man ran into this cafe, grabbed a laptop and ran right outside was a man named henry flynn who tackled the alleged thief to the ground and held him there until police arrived. Security cameras thankfully cut the whole thing on video. Unfortunately, we did not get permission to use it. It literally felt like everyone inside the cafe was screaming. Henry flynn was enjoying a cup of coffee outside sanaa cafe saturday evening when he says he saw a man running out with a laptop. Flynn works as a security guard. So he says it fell natural to take matters into his own hands. I saw someone running out with a hood. With a lot of talk in the right hand, almost like a Football Player would run with the football. I think the momentum of him running in the opposite direction of my arm, pushing him in another direction, made him stumble over towards one of the cars. That was part. And then i had the ability jump on top of this video from frisco live 4, 1, 5, shows San Francisco police arresting a 19 yearold man and flynn talking with officers afterwards about what happened. Flynn learned from police that the man had snatched a laptop from a woman sitting inside who thinks to flynn and others got it back. Did you speak to the woman who is left of . It was afterwards. I did. Theyre really cool. Husband or boyfriend. Yeah, actually, i my phone that what i was running after the guys. So they like the minimum. Can we venmo you a little bit of money . Just so you can get your phone fixed and i would because not really too worried about that. This video has circulated on social media. People are now calling flynn a hero, but he humbly disagrees. Most people want to do the right thing. It just takes one person to really. I get ahead of it and everyone else will follow. Flynn is a fourthgeneration san franciscan who is fundraising to run for mayor this november. See myself as representing the silent majority, the city, which is the working class in bread and butter the city. I think what we need right now is the same way what happened at that cafe where everyone came together. We need that citywide. We need everyone coming together whos invested in the heart and soul of the root system of the city like myself, the man accused of the laptop theft was booked into jail and charged with grand theft and seconddegree burglary. Im sara stinson reporting back to you. 6. 34 right now and a man has been arrested and called my accused of stealing this motor home.

A car flipped on its side and chp arrested the driver for hit and run and dui and they found look, these guns in the car. The driver, they say, tried to run from the police after the crash, but the officers caught up with them. In pacifica, the man now is under arrest after driving away from a crash and then hitting a parked car. Police say a 2 yearold child was in the car with him. This all happened saturday.

So the Real Coalition is the name of this group and theyre asking city officials to do more to preserve money that would fund Permanent Housing Solutions in response to a proposal. They say matt mayer hand met. Mayor matt mahan is pushing. So the proposal would divert money away from measure e which originally set aside money for Affordable Housing city officials are considering using that money to clear homeless encampments along waterways and Police Residents in temporary shelters. The rally is set for 12, 30 this afternoon. Well tell you what happens. 6. 37 and a major setback in the effort to try to stop public money from going towards the stadium in las vegas. So the proposed ballot measure written by the Nevada Teachers Union apparently will not be appearing in the next election. Kron fours dan kerman explains why. When the battle lawmakers approved spending 380 Million Dollars in public money to help fund a stadium in las vegas last june. The Nevada Teachers Union took steps to reverse that decision by putting the issue to a public vote. This november. Now that wont happen. The nevada Supreme Court upheld a Lower Court Ruling that the proposed ballot measure was not written correctly and petition signatures cannot be gathered until its read and to comply with state law fighting billionaires is never easy. This is just minor setback. Alexander marks with the Teachers Union schools over stadium says the ruling means the measure wont appear on this novembers ballot because now there are only 44 days left to rewrite the petition and then collect the 102,000 signatures with no state elections in 2025. That means the next chance for a public vote is november of 2026. But schools over stadiums remains undeterred. This still remains incredibly unpopular locally. Its still under water. 20 . You know, preventing the teachers from going out there ensure every student has a highquality Public Education is probably not going help with their polling either. But, you know, we we remain committed to try and help fix the misguided priorities of the state. So not much has really changed. In a statement, the attorney who represents the Coalition Opposing the ballot measure, which includes the as, was pleased with the ruling saying all nevadans have a right to participate in direct democracy, but they need to observe the laws that require properly informing the voters of a proposal. This measure failed to do that. All they did was delay if they were hoping for a quick decision and calling it a day and saying that they want thats not what they got today as part of a 2 pronged attack, schools over stadiums has sued the state of nevada saying the passage of that funding measure violates nevada state constitution. That case is yet to come to trial. Dan kerman kron, 4 news. 6. 39, the time. And for the first time in more than a decade, the vietnamese Heritage Garden in san jose is about to get a major facelift. That garden was originally constructed back in 2011 to honor the thousands of refugees who fled vietnam after the fall of saigon in 1975.
