Today he returned to where it started and denounced police force. I want to pressure them to make changes. Police have been clear, theyll not allow tents to go up, and theyre ready to respond to any signs of violent outbreaks or vandalism. Criminal acts are not consistent with the over all message. Once again i want to take you to a live view over frank ogowa plaza. There is a march planned for today. Earlier this month disciplinary action was recommended for several officers involved however, they were recommendations. Each officer is afforded due process. Many are working the demonstration. In in oakland abc 7 news. Help is on the way to cops overwhelmed by crime. Governor brown announced as early as next week, patrol will send in reenforcements. Officers will be aassigned to work in both neighborhoods. Patrol seeking funds to pay for the temporary redeployment. Politics 12 days until the election. A proposition to fund schools is in trouble. Two surveys reveal prop 30 is losing support. Abc 7 news is here and mark, you sat down with Governor Brown today, he was driving the prop 30 campaign . Yes. Hes been pushing the campaign. When i hit him with polling numbers he was quick to point out the yes on 30 still leads opposition, but not by much. Prop 30 asks voters to approve a temporary tax hike on incomes over a quarter million a year and a sales tax hike over next four years. After rej person will pay a quarter of a cent. By a sandwich for 4 you pay a penny. The latest polling numbers show support has dropped since september, latest ppic poll down four points, down nine points in the l. A. Times poll. Probably as a result of the no on 30 political ads playing on the public distrust of government spenders. There are 50 billion tax increase. The Howard JarvisTaxpayer Association is leading the charge. Stop trying to black mail people saying we wont Fund Education if we dont give more money. Brown says money is earmarked and that is where he says it will be spent. Teachers, theyre for it and they believe it. As governor im telling you that money is going there. Ill make sure it does. Brown and his yes on 30 campaign raised more than 30 million for ads like this. This will restore funding for schools and colleges and present billions in cuts. No on 30 raised 20 million. The governor calls it largest anonymous donation in state history. I just learned this morning that the state of california is suing and going to court to force the disclosure whof are the donors from arizona or whenever that may be coming from off shore, nobody knows. The governor suspects the 11 million coming from rich folks in california who dont want to pay the increase in state income taxes. Following up with something Governor Brown just mentioned. A judge ruled an Arizona Group must explain why they will not reveal who pult up money contributed to defeat prop 30. The group has given 11 million to a state Political ActionCommittee Fighting against a temporary tax measure. Fair Political Practices Commission claims the path is required to reveal names of contributors but the lawyer says the constitution allows people to express opinions through donations. This can only be interfered with if rules are clear and if they have the authority. They do not and coming from donors through a nonprofit, out of state, then landing in california and theyre failing to disclose. The judge is expected to make a ruling on on tuesday. A San Francisco likes to tout itself as a green city. Some are just learning about the change in policy. Theyre not happy bit. Abc 7 news is live in San Francisco. Hi, carolyn. You know they hatch out the budget here, trees lose out to public health, Public Safety programs for the homeless. So unless some money comes from somewhere, homeowners are going to have to pick up the tab. San francisco has about 100,000 trees. Most of them about 65,000 are pry at this time vitly maintained. Some have decided to plant trees to soften the environment. Shes opposed to a push that will force her neighbors to take responsibility for something that is always been outside their front door. I think its an imposition for people who have inherited a tree. The job belongs to the department of public works but after years of cuts, it cant keep up with the recommended cycles for pruning trees in the public right aright of way. But supervisor scott weiner says the responsibility is not the answer. This makes no sense for us to require Property Owners to take care of street trees they may not own or want. They may not know how to take care of. They may not be able to afford to take care of. And he says a tars r parcel tax can be an option but that might be a hard sell. Kate spent thousands planting trees in front of her home. I city thi the city does a great job but i think its their problem not ours. This is the second time homeowners are being forced to pick up the bill. Thousands of the trees were forced on homeowners in the 90s. At that time they can choose to take responsibility. Now, no one will be allowed to destroy the city urban forest. Homeowners do not have an out. This is something that were taking on. Its not what we want to do. But its something we feel we need to do unless we can cup come up with a sustainable funding source. And notices are already in the mail. Live in San Francisco city hall, abc 7 news. Thank you.

Lets go back to politics and decision youll be making soon. One question youll be facing is whether to do away with Death Penalty in california. There are 726 prisoners on death row. Their jentss will be down graded if proposition 34 passes its your voice, your vote. Here is abc 7 news reporter. California abolished the Death Penalty in 1972 after the state and u. S. Supreme court found it unconstitutional. It was reinstated by voters in 1978. Since then, 13 people have been executed in california. There have been no executions since 2006 when a moratorium was ordered by judge jeremy foggel pending review of a new Death Chamber and protocol. There are now 726 condemned prisoners waiting to see what happens and now, with prop 34. We may 130 million each year for lawyers, and investigators judges, and Prison Guards all related just to the Death Penalty. And that is all money that is being waste that had will be saved through prop 34. Yes on 34 Campaign Manager says prop 34 would replace the Death Penalty with life without possibility of parole. Would require everyone convicted of murder to work and pay restitution and says ending the Death Penalty would save california 134 million a year. 100 million for three years would be redirected to local Law Enforcement. We need to replace it because it always risks executing an innocent person. We end up killing innocent people who could wo that be . I dont know there is one recorded instance of an innocent person having been executed in the United States in the modernera. Certainly not in the state of california. In 1993 mark klauss 12yearold daughter was kip kidd napped from her home, Richard Allen davis was sentenced to death. Hes waiting execution. Were talking about 2 of the individuals that are charged with mushder in the state of california. The worst 2 . Now to say theyre not going to get punishment doled out diminishes criminal justice system. Importantly, it diminishes value of my daughters life. Lofr yains 22yearold twin boys were murdered in twun. The case has gone unsolved. Some crazy person took an ak 47 and just sprayed my boys. And took their lives just like that. They were both in college and working. Sheila wrote yes because she likes the idea of more funding for police and is opposed to the Death Penalty. I respect the people who say that for religious, moral, other reasons there shouldnt be that. That is the basis it ought to be decided. Not on the base yigs of money. The attorney is cover desk is covered with pictures of murder victims saying estimates vary on how much might be saved. That the increased funding for Law Enforcement would come out of the general fund and only for a few years. He thinks voters should not decide how they feel based on how much it costs. This Campaign Says the system is broken but wagstaff and klaus believe kit be fixed and will be. Research is about to settle a big debate. It stems from a small shoulder bone that belongs to a child contemp rarey of lucy, one of the earliest known human ancestors. Lucy and her kind walked on two degrees, he says the shoulder blade proves the species was still a tree climber.
