With republicans in congress within reach of passing a major tax reform bill, one republican senator has thrown a roadblock in the way. Here is more on that from washington. [ applause ] reporter at a photo op to highlight his drive to cut regulations and red tape, was asked about marco rubio, the latest senate to tie up the tax reform plan in the senate. I think we will be there. Hes been a great guy. Very supportive. I think senator rubio will be there. Reporter rubio had been making this pushing to make the tax credit refundable when the negotiations were done, republican settled on a refundable 1100 credit. Right now that is a dealbreaker for the florida senator. Unless they can figure out a way to add to the 1100 figure, i wont support the bill. Reporter he complex his muscle because he knows how crucial every vote is. Republicans have a 2 vote cushion but two senators missed votes this week due to health reasons. Gop senators knew each had a fair amount of leverage given how tiny the minority is. Now that it looks like the minority will be smaller starting in january if not sooner, each one is realizing they have more leverage and they will see what they can get out of this. Republicans can only afford to lose 2 senate votes and tennessee senator bob corker looks like hes on the fence. He opposed an earlier draft of the legislation because of the way it hurts the deficit. He said he will not decide where he stands until he looks at the compromise legislation. A federal Judicial Council will investigate a judge on the San Francisco based ninth Circuit Court of appeals for alleged inappropriate behavior.

There is a rare sea lion attack yesterday in the bay in San Francisco. This one bit a swimmer in his upper arm as he was swimming outside of aquatic park. Leigh martinez is at pier 39. Tell us what happened. Reporter sea lions are wild animals and sometimes they can be unprinted double. We are at pier 39 looking at some of them right now. Some are sleeping and some are making quite a ruckus. Sea lions are wild animals and they do have very sharp teeth and a strong bite. Witnesses told us yesterday the mans bite wounds look like a big dog bite and it was bleeding uncontrollably when he was brought to the dock. The swimmer was rescued by people on a sailboat who found him bleeding badly from the bite wounds. He pulled him from the water and waited for help. San francisco marine unit applied a tourniquet before taking him to the hospital. Police say the man told them he was swimming in the mouth of the aquatic cove when a sea lion charged him and to try to fend it off. The sea lion came up to him. He said he splashed water it does add it and that did not work. He yelled at it. Than the sea lion came up and bit him on the arm. Reporter sea lions are known to be territorial and sometimes aggressive toward each other. Attacks on humans are rare. A veterinarian says researchers only found 11 cases in the last three years of attacks on humans and there was no clear pattern or common cause for the attacks. Sea lions have been getting sick and dying from acid that builds and their bodies from toxic algae blooms. Some swimmers also suspect the poisoning disorient them and causes erratic behavior. Mating season cuts also factor into their unusual behavior. Police are not issuing any specific warnings about swimming in the bay but say as a precaution, its best to stay away from wild animals. Let them have their space and dont get in their way. Good advice. If you can. Thank you. The details on that story are so unusual. The white house appears to be taking a new approach to immigration policy. Next, how officials hope to sway Public Opinion in the new year. State Health Officials unexpectedly release new guidelines about your cell phones. Among other things, what they suggest you do before you go to bed. Welcome back. Two workers were hurt in santa rosa after building under construction collapsed. One worker had a cut on his face, the other hurt his leg. A third hurt his back but did not go to the hospital. They were installing roof trusses on the building when the exterior walls buckled and the trusses collapsed. The santa rosa Billing Division and cal osha will investigate. The white house plans a Major Campaign next year trying to influence Public Opinion about Legal Immigration reform. The issue will probably be part of president trumps state of the Union Address next month. The white house wants to move the nations largely family based immigration system to a meritbased system. The Trump Administration says that the Current System is ill conceived, dangerous and damages american workers. Several states are threatening to sue the fcc over its decision to end Net Neutrality. Yesterday the fcc voted along party lines to overturn the obama era regulations. It means providers like verizon and at t will not be able to slow down apps or websites run by their rivals. The companies could also block sites or charge certain websites more for faster speeds. Under Net Neutrality, Internet Service providers how to treat all online content equally. Congressional democrats say they plan to introduce a resolution to overturn the decision. State senator scott wiener also plans to introduce a bill that would guarantee Net Neutrality in california. He said states should have the right to protect internet access. He said he would introduce the legislation next month when the state legislature is back in session. Santa clara county also plans to sue the fcc over Net Neutrality. The reversal of Net Neutrality is arbitrary and unjustified and it is therefore unlawful. Santa clara county is not going to let the fccs actions stand. We will file a lawsuit to challenge the repeal of Net Neutrality, protect fair and open access to the internet, and preserve the countys ability to provide Crucial Health and safety services. County leaders say libraries, Law Enforcement and the Health Department all depend on the internet for communication and to release information to the public. They say the lawsuit will move forward after the fcc officially repeals the regulations. The state Health Department is again warning about the Health Dangers of using cell phones. The state department of Public Health says cell phones can increase exposure to radiation. Some researchers say the radiation can cause longterm health problems. Hundreds of scientists signed a petition calling on lawmakers to put tougher regulations on cell phones. The Health Department says dont carry your cell phone in your pocket and keep it away from you when you sleep. Okay. A lot of us use that for the alarm clock. We do. Just keep it away. I found the keeping as far away from my arms reach to hit that Snooze Button is probably a good idea. I have the close alarm and then i have the alarm at the end of the room which almost never goes off but its like the emergency alarm. And it forces you out of bed. If that alarm goes off you know you need to get up. Good morning. Westbound 24 we will start there it does look okay as he passed lafayette. No major problems. Traffic seems to be a little lighter than usual. At the bay bridge, its about the same as it always is. Slow traffic getting onto the bridge and driving into San Francisco. We do not have anything reported on the bridge but we had an earlier stalled vehicle westbound on the span. We also had a stalled vehicle westbound at the toll plaza. These minor annoyances are beginning to slow traffic. This is a look at 880 northbound. Traffic is moderately heavy. No major problems there. Here we go. Look at the san mateo bridge. Thats pretty slow. Last time we saw it it was pretty slow heading out. I can look at the road sensors in the same area and you can see the san mateo bridge is very slow all the way across. Look at the dumbarton bridge. Here is the alternate. Thats not bad. Now lets bring stephen. Thank you. Some fog now being reported out by concord and buchanan. Maybe highway 4 and bay point. Some of that is coming in from the east. And napa airport reported some. Also in santa rosa. Its dancing around a little bit. Its not widespread but it could pick up in the next hour. A weak system coming in so theres more moisture in the atmosphere. Nothing that will bring us rain, just some high in mid level clouds. The big news is a fire weather watch has been posted for us for the weekend. We have a red flag warning out. Gusts at 50 miles per hour. It starts at 10 pm tonight and goes through 10 am on sunday. We also have a wind advisory. The winds will pick up until late tonight early saturday morning. You see 30. 50 and higher elevations. This will take us through saturday and saturday morning. I will be saturday afternoon it will start decreased but i still think it will be breezy on sunday. 30s, 40s and 50s. We had a lot of 20s the other day. Gilroy, 33. 40s around santa cruz. Mostly 30s around santa clara and campbell. In the mountains, 18 inch truckee. Ukiah, 37. 59 in los angeles. Except for the cloud cover, there could be a little snow northeast california from this weak system. This low will form in Southern California and that will be the source for wind as a high built in behind it. 60s for the temperatures. Most of these are 57 degrees above average for this time of year. I dont think we will see any 70s. Its dry and it will be a windy weekend. Its cold in the morning and when the sun goes down its cold but the afternoon is nice. At least you can get your workout in and whatever else. You dont have to worry about any rain. Fast food employees may have a hard time fighting their employers and courts. What the white house is doing and what it means for unions. California is less than three weeks from legal Recreational Marijuana sales. The bay area locations to receive the first permits. Welcome back. Continuing coverage of the ghost ship fire. Two men charged in the case will officially stand trial on Involuntary Manslaughter charges. A judge ruled there is enough evidence to go to trial against Derrick Almena and max harris. They went to the converted warehouse that caught fire last december. The fire killed 36 people attending a music party in the building. Yesterday was the last day of preliminary hearings. The victims relatives cried in court when prosecutors read the name of each person killed in the fire. They believe there was sufficient evidence of the guilt and responsibility of these defendants for creating the ghost ship and making it, as the judge stated in his final words he called it a death trap. This was not a death trap. It was orderly. It was clean and wholesome and in many respects, my client did everything humanly possible within his financial means to make it that way. They will return to court in january. Were told their trial be at least a year away. Three contractors in oakland have been cited and fined almost 150,000 for construction accidents in may that injured 13 workers. The workers fell 20 feet into freshly poured concrete as they worked on an elevated mold on auto row. Cal osha investigated and concluded the scaffolding system was not designed, installed or inspected properly. A new Associated Press poll shows most americans think resident trump did something illegal or at least something unethical with his ties between his president ial campaign and russia. A new poll shows 40 of americans believe the president has done something illegal in his campaigns ties with russia. 32 say he did something unethical but not illegal. 25 say he did nothing wrong. The republicancontrolled National Labor Relations Board has overturned a worker friendly role that would past during the Obama Administration and was opposed by businesses. The joint employer rule allowed companies such as make donalds to be sued by workers employed by franchises for violating safety or other regulations. Even though the corporation had only indirect control. The role also allowed a striking fast food workers to negotiate with donalds to form a union rather than with thousands of franchisees across the country. Overturning the role, the Labor Relations board set a company would only be considered a joint employer if it has direct control over the workers. A new start carrying the ivanka trump brand has opened in the lobby of trump tower in new york city. The store will sell handbags, jewelry and candles with plans to add shoes and clothing next year. The first daughter and president ial advisor gave up day to day management of her brand after the election but her ability to continue profiting from it while working at the white house has raised some ethics concerns. Earlier this year several Department Stores pulled her line citing declining sales. American eagle outfitters will stop selling a controversial bracelet online and in their stores. This comes any brass color and has a screw cuff. On social media some say the bracelets resemble slave shackles. American eagle outfitters has apologized. The company says they understand the critics and are now removing that product. 6 25 am. San francisco has not experienced this since the 70s. The late mayor will lie in state at city hall today.

Its dark out there but you can follow the flashing lights of the procession. The casket will be closed. The viewing will begin starting at 8 am and will continue until 7 pm. You may remember mayor George Moscone he and supervisor harvey milk were also lying in repose in the rotunda in 1978. Among the dignitaries expected today, House Minority leader leader nancy pelosi. She came in last night after paying tribute to mayor lee in the house of representatives. We will continue with live skyfox 2 coverage. We have reporters in the city. Lets check in with sal. So many people want to pay respect but it is going to affect traffic this morning. Yes. Right now you are looking at northbound 280 coming up on the ocean geneva exit. If you look to the right, that is the balboa bart station. There you see the procession getting off the freeway and making a right turn onto geneva. Im not exactly sure where they are going but they have this route planned out. You can see the officers are stopping traffic. This is still lightly traveled but now its making a left turn onto san jose avenue. Have a feeling they will make their way all the way through on san jose avenue and head down to city hall that way. Perhaps this is a tribute to the mayor. They are driving by his Old Neighborhood where he used to live. That is a touching tribute, not to just take a mother freeway but to go through some of these Old Neighborhoods where he lived. A longtime san franciscan and mayor. This is his final trip down to city hall. They may be taking a tour. They are now approaching ocean avenue, heading northbound on san jose avenue near balboa park. Many of us grew up i grew up in this neighborhood that he is passing now. It is touching to see this. To see the motorcade and to see ed lee driving through the city streets he loved so well. Lets see what we can do with the other traffic. Lets look at the other commutes. Im toggling over to this picture. The bay bridge into San Francisco that is backed up all the way out to the macarthur maze. A 20 minute delay. We are looking at a commute on interstate 880 oakland thats going to be okay. Traffic is not too bad. This is also the nimitz freeway. A little slow traffic because of an earlier stalled vehicle near 92. Watch for that. The mayors procession is underway. We will keep an eye on that for you. Well done, sal. A little bit of fog showing up near concordbuchanan. Highway 4. Watch out around bay point, and up toward the napa airport, Sonoma County airport also seeing fog. Its not widespread but there is a little bit showing up. A weak system dragging across will give us high clouds. Is not a lot of moisture with it. The real message is what it will do once it develops into a low in Southern California. That will pick up the wind. The wind advisory started 10 00 tonight and goes through 10 am on sunday. Believe it or not we have a red flag warning in middecember. The last time this happened was in 2013. We have one for this weekend to coincide with the wind advisory. 40s for the temperatures. 30s for some. Running a little warmer on the low. We have upper 20s and mid20s a few days ago. Now we see more 30s. 37, kelseyville. Petaluma, 35. Its still cold but not as cold. Cloud cover today will drag across but then it was set up for the wind to begin to develop late tonight. 60s for the temperatures. San francisco prepares to officially say goodbye to mayor ed lee. There are discussions about who should hold the office until a permanent mayor is elected next year. Alex savidge is at San Francisco city hall with more on the possibility of whats called a caretaker mayor. Good morning. Reporter good morning. First i want to show everyone at home this touching scene outside of city hall in San Francisco. The San Francisco Fire Department has used two ladder trucks to hoist this large American Flag above polk street outside of city hall. This is part of a tribute to the late mayor. The procession carrying his body is heading to city hall right now and he will lie in state throughout the day. Even as the city and community continues to say goodbye to the former mayor, the late mayor, there is already talk about who will hold onto that seat until a permanent mayor can be elected next june. There is talk about installing a caretaker mayor with the goal being to avoid giving anyone candidate a leg up in this race. Mainly that would be the acting mayor, london breed, who took over the office earlier this week. According to a report from the San Francisco examiner, some supervisors are considering a caretaker mayor. Some of the names being floated include former mayors art agnes and willie brown. Those people would pledge not to run for the office. The mayors death has sped up the election cycle and some believe london breed has the inside track. The acting mayor was asked earlier this week about whether or not she will run. So, i havent even thought about that. Its, again, i am here to do this job and do it well and that is at the forefront of my thoughts. Reporter in order for a caretaker mayor to be put into office until election day next year, 6 of the supervisors would half to vote in favor of that idea. Its unclear whether the votes are there. If someone is appointed to that position to become a caretaker mayor for the office, that would not happen until january. Obviously there is a lot of political wrangling potentially happening behind the scene. This morning, the mayors body will lie in state and the ceremony will get underway at 8 am here at city hall. Just to reiterate there will be a special election in june . Reporter yes. There will be an election held next june. June of next year people here in San Francisco will elect the next mayor then. Thank you. And he is right there at city hall where this procession will end. We want to take you back live again as the procession for mayor ed lee winds through the city. This is a live picture, live video from overhead, skyfox 2. As sal was talking about, a very moving tribute. They are actually taking the mayors body through the neighborhoods where he has spent so much time, where he currently was living. This is the neighborhood where he lived. It might even be history. They may even be picking up a Family Member to take a Family Member down to city hall. This is just outside of glen park in an area near monterey. The mayor was shopping at the nearby safeway. I know this area very well. These are nice, moderately sized homes. Its your city college and reared in high school. Now it looks like the motorcade is moving through. Either they are stopping by to pick someone up, it looks like someone is getting into that car, or they were driving by the mayors house. It looks like someone is getting in and then they will take the mayor from here down to city hall where alex is. It is touching and moving and now we are on the move again. The motorcade is moving with the police escort. They will start getting into more major streets. I would imagine. Its dark and its early but i would imagine this affords the ability for neighbors and friends to gather along the route as they make this procession on their way to city hall. This is skyfox live of mayor ed lees last trip to San Francisco heading down to city hall. This is a touching tribute. They were probably head out to city hall this way. Again, we are just outside a neighborhood in glen park, the mayor used to live here. Now the motorcade is making the turn, probably going to head down to city hall. I want to point out you are watching ktvu mornings on 2 live as sal takes us along this route, especially selected route. Important to the life of mayor lee and the people who knew him well as he heads to the rotunda of San Francisco city hall. We have been talking about i think you would love this. When the San Francisco Police Motorcycle unit escort to anywhere, they are moving people out of the way. They are ahead at the intersections. Its actually very impressive to see this done if youve never seen it. They have Police Officers on motorcycles that block all the streets. They are very well practiced in doing this. Its kind of a pageantry for the mayor. And its so nice. A pageantry for the mayor. The man who loved the city so much and did so much for the city come up so many of us are in shock by his sudden death. Every single picture i think ive seen of him, all of our colleagues have posted picture, every event he was at he was always smiling. An incredible man. He really was. And now it looks like they are turning. This is the area that leads over san jose avenue. They may be taking san jose avenue toward the downtown area. Traffic on the streets are is light streets is light. If you are watching this go by, its pretty impressive. They do a great job. Streets between there and city hall will be closed for a moment. You can see a number of Police Officer standing at the intersections and stopping traffic. They are so good at this. They stopped traffic and they let it proceed after they move through. We want to point out that the mayors body will lie in state at San Francisco city hall beginning at 8 am this morning which is where they are heading to right now. Kim jungun and alex savidge are at city hall. We will continue to follow this, the procession and the many tributes to mayor lee. We will be right back. Welcome back to mornings on 2. We are live skyfox is over a Police Procession in San Francisco carrying the body of the late San Francisco mayor ed lee. Moving through the streets of San Francisco heading to city hall. Sal, you know this area so well. This is dolores street just past 30th. This is a street that is lined with nicelooking palm trees. Its one of my favorite street in San Francisco. Im beginning to get a sense as to why they are taking him this way. They are taking him on a scenic tour of some of the best parts of San Francisco. Just about to pass the majestic churches and mission high school. Lets put it this way, they did not take the quizzes quickest way to city hall. They are taking a tour of San Francisco. This may be a tradition for some to drop the mayor past some of the best streets. I think they often allow as many people as possible to come out and pay their respects as well. Its certainly going to be very crowded and busy around city hall. Maybe this affords people on the way to work to stop for a moment and pay their respects. And he was so intimate and integral in his interaction with people. Its important for them to see him going by one more time. Right now that in front of Old Mission Dolores church, one of San Franciscos iconic churches and heading down toward market. Im sure they are going to make a right turn on market and then you will be downtown at city hall. You can see the San Francisco Police Motorcycle detail is very much well ahead and blocking streets. They call these Motorcycle Unit the four boys. A point of pride for guys who do these things. Especially for occasions like this. You can see on the split screen , at city hall, outside, the dignitaries that are waiting for the arrival of the procession bringing ed lee. Nancy pelosi flew in last night. She made some comments yesterday in washington, d. C. , on the floor and flew here last night to be here. We have heard from former mayor willie brown. Im sure gavin newsom will be there. The lieutenant governor. A number of dignitaries, as you can see on the righthand side of your screen. As the camera pulls back, you can see the giant flag that has been unfurled outside city hall. That is very dramatic looking at both sides of your Television Screen at whats happening live, right now, at San Francisco city high San Francisco city hall. They are making their way into the castro district. Any minute they will make their turn onto Market Street. This is now getting closer to city hall. Obviously they will get there in maybe five minutes if they continue to drive at the speed. Maybe 10 minutes. If you are coming up on Market Street, you will see it. Traffic is light enough that i do not think this will have a major effect on the morning commute. Im surprised that they dont make their way through chinatown. I know the construction has been tough and ive heard several people comment about how he was so intragoal in the subway system and said that he wont be around to see it completed. I would not be surprised if they made their way in and around chinatown. You never know. This could be what they are doing although they are getting close to city hall. I dont know the route ahead of time. They are getting much closer to city hall. Its unclear if they will go to city hall right now or if they will do something else. Sal, as far as traffic did they block off many streets to allow this procession . Or are they just moving through in clearing things out. They are just moving through and clearing things out. Once it passes, the streets are open again. Its not like they blocked off a large swath. Thats what these Police Officers do. As you can see the officers are moving well ahead, blocking intersection so the motorcade does not have to stop. Once it goes through common its over. That is a minimal impact to traffic. Im looking at one vehicle moving really fast at the head of that procession to help clear the way. And this is so sudden. Its not like something that was planned for weeks and months in advance where they have a detailed map they sent out to all of us. The sudden loss of the mayor on Tuesday Morning and then scrambling to make this happen in that short amount of time. The Motorcycle Unit is very practiced at doing this. They do this for president s. Theyve even done it for us and the Chinese New Year parade where they know how to block streets off. They have the lead unit that goes ahead and starts planting officers at intersections. Then they have the two officers in front of the motorcade. They do this all the time. They are good at it. Its something the officers dont have to have a lot of planning. They know how to do it. And we want to point out again that beginning at 8 00 this morning, the body of the mayor will lie in state in the rotunda of San Francisco city hall. Also pointing out the casket will be closed. It will not be open. The viewing will be open to the public to come by and pay respects. That is until 7 pm tonight. Today the memorial at the rotunda is open to the public. Sunday there is another event planned. That is also open to the public which is so telling of the mayor. Very open and active with the community. Very involved. We have so many pictures of him out and about in the community. If you are just joining us live, this is live video, five skyfox is over head, as the procession for mayor lee makes its way through the city , through the neighborhoods where he lived they just turned onto Market Street. This is Market Street heading down toward city hall. You can see they are getting closer to city hall. Sal, thank you so much for your insight. You know that area so well. We will check in with you and a moment for the other traffic in the area. This is something that is certainly a trapping affecting traffic. Lets check in with steve for weather this morning. A lot of people will be at city hall today. Very quiet. A little bit of fog but we are starting in the 30s and 40s. Upper 40s and 50s in the city. The fog is mainly north and east. Its not an issue and its drive. This is the inland variety of fog. Highway 4 and also some toward the napa airport. Weak system may give some rain to the north. It will give a little snow to northeast california and the sierra. A quick dusting. The end result is this will form a low in Southern California and that will pick up our wind. That starts tonight into tomorrow. Everybody is involved in a red flag warning. We have a fire weather watch for mid december because we have not had any rain and the humidity will be very low. 30s, 40s and 50s. 51 in the city. Highway 4, concord and buchanan, a little fog. There is the easterly breeze. That brings some of that fog back in from pittsburg and maybe bay point and toward the napa airport. Except for high clouds, this is a pattern where we expect the wind to pick up later tonight. 60s for the temperatures. Even with higher clouds coming in. All temperatures are above average and the wind will be the main story along with the high fire danger as we go into the weekend. 6 52 am. Our top stories this morning is remembering mayor lee. We are live overhead of the procession as it makes its way through the streets of San Francisco heading down Market Street right now and on to city hall where our coverage of the final farewell for the mayor will continue. We will be right back. Even if no one in your home smokes, Secondhand Smoke can be closer than you think. Secondhand smoke from a neighbors apartment can enter your home through air vents, through light fixtures and even through cracks in the walls and the floors. Secondhand smoke is toxic. Especially to children. Protect your family. Visit tobaccofreeca. Com. Good morning, welcome back to mornings on 2, these are live pictures from skyfox where we are watching San Francisco , the Police Procession carrying the body of the late San Francisco mayor ed lee through the streets of San Francisco. At 6 56 right now where are we . We are turning off of mcallister onto the polk street side of city hall approaching polk street. Those steps are where they had a lot of speakers and demonstrations when the politicians in San Francisco want to make an announcement. They make it on the polk street side of city hall on the steps and that is where the mayor is pulling up. You can see two Truck Companies have lifted a flag high in the air at the big crosswalk in front of the polk street side. You can see the large memorial on the streets of city hall. The mayor ed lee has arrived at city hall and right there that is is parking spot. He always had a parking spot in front. He is arriving at his spot. You can still see on the steps of city hall. You can see that there are flowers and all of the mementos people have been placing there since he died so suddenly. They are sitting there. They have moved them to the left so that they could have room for the casket to get up the main part of the stairs. You can see they have arrived and a lot of reporting crews including we are there showing us the mayor in this parking spot at city hall. Everything is going orderly as it should. You can see the many people who are gathered. I am assuming there are many City Government employees and we know dignitaries will be there beginning at 8 00 this morning in San Francisco city hall. The body of San Francisco mayor ed lee will be lying and beginning at 8 00 until 7 00 tonight you will have a chance to go and pay your respects to the memory of ed lee. Im sure the mayor would have loved this. Watching the Truck Companies. He really loved San Francisco and i think he would really enjoy, he might not admit it but i think he would really like all of this pageantry surrounding his last trip to city hall. Sal, you would know better than i as a native san franciscan but something that i enjoyed about ed lee was how much he really enjoyed being the mayor of San Francisco and going and knowing people intimately in his city. You know, many times as i have said, many times that is where his parking spot is. He would get out reporters would wait to ask him a question and he would always make time for us. He would stop right about there before running into his office. We would chase him down for whatever story and many times i have stood there trying to get a soundbite and it reminds me of his legacy. For any mayor here on the polk street side of city hall. Now, as his casket has arrived at San Francisco city hall there are many people waiting to greet and acknowledge his arrival and also the giant flag right outside of city hall. A fitting honor and tribute that has begun for the life of ed lee the mayor of San Francisco. Needless to say now is not a good time to be driving. Polk street is completely shut down and probably will be for some time as there is high security and some of the bus lines running through could be rerouted. If you are going down you may want to participate but the best way to get there is to use bart or muni. I am not even sure if you can get into the garage at this point because of the streets being blocked off. As we watch a live the casket of mayor ed lee is being taken out of the hearse, we are joined by gasia mikaelian. I have been watching these pictures in the newsroom throughout the morning and here we are one of the most somber moments of the day as we see the casket that carries the San Francisco mayor ed lee about to enter city hall for the last time. Law enforcement and many others standing in the silent salute to pay honor to the man who at first did not really want to be the mayor in his inaugural address. He said i stand before you a different public official. I was someone who would never run for
