Shows us how the city is looking to build a better bay area not just for renters, but landlords too. Jose and his wife were wrapping up their garage sale saturday afternoon. Its part Spring Cleaning in case they have to move from concord. Its really hard for us to like, just work for rent to pay the rent, and we have more expenses than that, like the car repairs. Jose, who didnt want to give his last name, pays 3,000 to rent this small three bedroom house. Given whats at stake, he joined the coalition that fought an eight year battle to get rent control and concord. The ordinance passed in march. We need to have a place to stay or we be on the streets. The new ordinance caps rent increases to 3 a year and includes just cause eviction protections. But city Officials Say the ordinance was challenged by those seeking to get a referendum on the november ballot. However they failed to get the roughly 7000 signatures by thursday, so the ordinance took effect on friday. This was great. It was a great win and the reason its so important is because people were being evicted, rents were being raised like 1,000, 2,000 at a time. Severe lockett is the Deputy Director for Civic Engagement at the east bay alliance for a sustainable economy, or ebays it fights for Worker Rights and tenant protections, he says. Too often the focus was on cities like richmond and antioch, not concord, trying to address the work issue also led to us understanding that, hey, they cant even afford to pay their rent. So we, you know, it was necessary to get involved in the tenant issue and in a tenant fight in concord because no one else was organizing in, concord at the time. He believes this concord ordinance strikes a balance which still gives Property Owners a return on their investment and protects renters. People arent making enough money to survive, so it needs some type of, equalizer or stabilization, to be put into place so that people can actually survive in concord, anser hassan abc seven news.

We are now going to check out our weather headlines for the next two days. We can expect more sunshine as we had today and springlike warmth. But then middle of the week well see a few clouds moving into the picture. It will get breezy and turn sharply cooler, and by the end of the week, theres a slight chance of some showers developing right around friday. Saturday well keep an eye on that and see what if those chances increase during the overnight hours. Mainly clear skies, but well see a few patches of high clouds swinging through the bay area. But well start the day tomorrow morning with mainly sunny skies, and those clouds will be out of here in no time. Overnight, low temperatures will be mainly in the low or low to mid 50s, so it will be pretty mild over night 52 degrees. The low in San Francisco, San Francisco and oakland.

As clouds enter the picture, it turns breezy and high temperatures will drop about ten degrees or more on wednesday from the highs on tuesday. So im saying that wrong. Actually ten degrees or more on tuesday from the highs on monday. What im trying to say is that the cooling will continue later into the week. And by thursday, and friday well see daytime highs only in the upper 60s inland, mid 60s around the bay, clouds will increase and there is a slight chance of showers developing either late friday or into saturday, so just bear that in mind.

A breakthrough tonight in washington. After months of delay, the house has passed a 95 billion foreign and aid package for ukraine, israel and taiwan. But could it end up costing House Speaker mike johnson his job . Abc News Reporter alison kosik with a look at the contentious debate before todays vote. The long stalled foreign aid legislation finally made its way to a vote on saturday. The house passing a massive 95 billion foreign aid package. The package included four bills, one with nearly 61 billion in aid for ukraine, another with more than 26 billion for israel and a third with 8 billion going to the indopacific region including taiwan. Also included legislation to force the sale of tiktok by its chinese parent company. If it doesnt divest. Ukraines president zelensky, thanking the house, calling it a life saving decision. But House Speaker Mike Johnsons push to get these aid bills across the finish line could cost him his job. You do the right thing and you let the chips fall where they may. The speaker, relying on votes from democrats to clear a key procedural hurdle to get the bills to saturdays vote. Gop hardliners not happy. Mike johnson is a lame duck. Are you ever going to. Hes done. Hes done. Congressman paul gosar, now the third republican to sign on to Marjorie Taylor greenes motion to oust the speaker, saying the speaker should be focusing on Border Security despite republicans rejecting a bipartisan border bill from the senate weeks ago after bowing to pressure from donald trump. What were worried about is the signal were sending to americans and to send 100 billion overseas without reinforcing our own borders. Some moderate republicans have expressed frustration with greene and her allies. I think it is idiotic. You dont like a bill . Vote no. If greene goes through with her threat to call for a vote to oust johnson, he could need democrats to save his job. I commended by name traditional conservatives led by Speaker Mike Johnson for doing the right thing. Now that the bills have passed in the house, the senate will begin consideration of this foreign aid package on tuesday. Alison kosik, abc news, new york. Now to the latest from seven on your side, a story about some bay area residents who got a phone call offering to save them money on gas, but instead it ended up costing the victims twice as much as their original bills. Abc seven News Reporter stephanie sierra has this seven on your side report and are you aware that you will receive a welcome package from triple a natural gas that will include 94 year old Ramona Martinez doesnt remember getting this call. You know, i dont know what youre talking about. There right now. Ramona is listening to a recording of that call. Triple a natural gas of oklahoma says it proves ramona agreed to a binding contract. I cant understand you very well. So get. Lets get on with it. What are we doing . Ramona also doesnt realize this is a recording. Triple a will charge you 1. 2. Oh, good. Like get off stop. You know youre taking advantage of someone whos 94 years old and has dementia. Ramona just celebrated another birthday. She has advanced dementia and 24 hour care, so her trusty Ingrid Kirsten was surprised to see this pgandes notice, saying ramona had switched her gas supplier to triple a energy services. How did that happen . She called triple a and they said, well, we do it over the phone and we got phone verification, triple a said. Ramona agreed to a 36 month contract and that the phone recording proves it. Ingrid is not convinced theres a series of yes or no questions, and then you hear, just a yes. And i can tell by the yes that its not ramona. On the recording, an agent reads off contract terms. Then asks ramona if she understands each one. Yes. Or no. Triple a will charge 0. 85 per day customer fee. Is this your understanding on the recording . Theres a 10 or 15 second delay after each question. Then a one word reply. Yes, thank you ramona says nothing, but yes. This is not even her voice and the 10 to 15 second delay after every single question is suspicious in and of itself. Now it seems clear ramona does not understand. Yes, still, triple a said ramona would have to wait 60 days and pay a 100 fee to cancel the contract. You can clearly tell my mother did not know what she was was signing up for karen markey said her 90 year old mother, mary, thought she was getting a discount on her gas bill. Instead, she wound up switching her gas supplier from pgandes to triple a. They basically said, your mother agreed to it and you cant cancel it for two months, and theres a penalty fee if you do so. Triple a sent karen the phone recording as proof. Karen says it proved questionable tactics. Ill be completing your enrollment today with triple a gas, a Core Transport age. Oh my god, can you hold on just a minute . So i can write all that down . Oh, youre going to get all this in the form of paperwork as well then . I dont need to. Is that correct . Yes maam. They keep pushing, pushing, pushing and get her to say yes. Do you agree that the agent has not offered you any other incentives . I guess so, yeah, but this is the discount. Is that not true . And again, i dont work for triple a, so let me read the statement again. Do you agree that the agent has not offered you any other incentives . I guess so i just need a yes or no for the recording. I guess ill say yes, but thats only because im getting tired. I was painful, i think i shed a few tears. The program will be applied to your gas. Oh my god, this is so complicated. Jesus mercy. So triple a began billing mary, but instead of saving money, marys gas bill actually doubled. Same for ramona. Marys utility bill shows pgandes would have charged her 90 for the gas she used last month, triple a charged 187. Ramonas bill shows pgandes would have charged her 130 for gas, triple a charged 261. Triple a tells us we do not target or discriminate based on age, race or any other basis. A live, independent third Party Explains and obtains customer consent to each sale. This includes informing the customer that their gas charges may be higher or lower than what pgandes would charge them for. Seven on your side im stephanie sierra, abc seven news. Very concerning there. Still ahead on abc seven news at 11. Weve had consecutive winters that have produced plenty of rain by one Bay Area Community could be seeing their water bills rise this christian. More warm spring days are coming our way. Then a sharp, cool down. Ill have the accuweather forecast in we belong we belong together we belong hulu on disney . Available with disney bundle. Plans starting at 9. 99 a month. South bay. Thats if a proposed increase from the Santa Clara Valley Water District is approved. Abc seven News Reporter Dustin Dorsey explains how much the rate could cost people. Silicon valley is already one of the most expensive places to live and utility rate increases arent helping. From pgandes hikes to proposed raises from san jose water. Now, Santa Clara Valley Water District is discussing their own increases that could spike bills for customers like martin rockwork. Nows the time people are really frustrated. We grow weary of it. The bills have gone up so high. Its so much higher than inflation, a higher than the stock market goes up, you know, how how can we how can we live with this . How can we keep going . A challenge for many. But valley water says the proposed charges have a purpose. The money will go towards infrastructure upgrades at places like anderson dam and the rinconada Treatment Plant. The board will vote on raising groundwater production and Treatment Plant charges for cities and private water retailers. Our infrastructure is old. We need to make sure that were updating it, providing the proper maintenance, repairing where we need to repair and, also, you know, investing in new projects to provide water supply here in santa clara county, the nearly 13 increase could end up costing customers just under 9 per month, on average. But valley water says without the infrastructure improvements, it will cost the Community Even more. A reliable water supply is something we all take for granted. You know, you just expect to turn on your faucet and the water to come out, but that takes investment. We cant not invest in the infrastructure that provides the water here, because if we dont invest now down the road, it could have impacts. Obviously on the reliability of our water supply. Ralph quirk understands rate increases are inevitable, and he wants to see all companies that raise rates held accountable to follow through with the plans. That way our money goes where they say it will. We do have to foot the bill for infrastructure. Its just is it responsible infrastructure or is it lying . Thats thats to me the difference. The valley water board will meet tuesday the 23rd at 1 p. M. To hear from the community and vote on the proposed increases in san jose.

Dont ever give up® kings knocked the warriors out of the nbas play in tournament, ending their season. The dubs have now missed the playoffs three out of the last five seasons. True, theyre just two seasons removed from the fourth title of this dynastic run. But what does the future look like for the big three of steph curry, Klay Thompson and draymond green, especially klay as he enters free agency this summer . Hour after the game crew Larry Donnell break it all down. So were used to having the warriors in the playoffs every year. First time in three years that they didnt make the postseason. They lost to sacramento in the playin game. This should be a very interesting summer not only with Klay Thompson, but you know, what do you do with picks and assets and how do you get back to the top. Larry. Mike dunleavy the warriors gm, is going to have a very busy summer in my opinion, because i think theres a lot of decision and a lot of choices. He has to make along the way, you know, do you want to bring back the big three . What does that mean for the other guys . That is not in the big three. So i think its going to be a fascinating and very, very busy summer, starting with Klay Thompson, who would probably have to take a pretty significant pay cut. But you know, were hearing joe lacob, the team owner, hes willing to spend if you can get the player back that you really need on this roster. And they need somebody. Clearly im telling you, thats such a big thing for an organization. When you can go in and say, you know, the boss, say, i can write any kind of check that i want, that is amazing. And it speaks to the commitment of the organization. But i think, you know, keep keeping klay at a number that they both could agree with is going to be huge start to the off season. That is something were not telling you. It was as much as you wanted donald. Just just write down what you want real quick. We saw the nuggets beat the lakers. They did just own the lakers the past couple of seasons. Is denver in your mind . The team to beat as defending champs . I think they all because we have the big fella that is makes it really really difficult for other people to beat him. And he plays so well under pressure and the game is it comes so easy to him. I think until until otherwise he is the team and denver is the team to beat as a fellow center. Watching jokic kind of run down the court in what appears to be slow motion, it looks like. How does this guy score. But hes just his basketball iq. Oh lauri oh to be the big man coming down. You know with the handle. Dont make me oh oh nostalgia yeah. Dream dream on dream on. All right chris back to you. Thank you so much, guys. Celebrity row at the garden. Knicks hosting the 76 ers.
