The community is rallying to that. Nbc bay areas bob redell is live where this is putting a lot of pressure on local leaders, bob. Scott and laura, it should be noted no one with the Raiders Organization was down at the News Conference moments ago taking place in the city of carson. We did just speak with the executive director of the Oakland Alameda county Coliseum Authority. He tells us that the raiders announcement the one they came out with yesterday, is a message of urgency to sit down and have some, quote, constructive dialogue. As a matter of fact scott mckibbon, who is a board appointed executive director already has a planned meeting with the raiders ownership and management this Tuesday Morning at 9 30. He wands to hear that quote, view of the world, figure out what resources are available. He emphasizes hes not overly confident, but he is certainly optimistic both sides must and can meet in the middle to come up with a deal that keeps the raiders here in oakland. Moving franchises is not easy and its not something that owners like to do. There are branding issues sponsorship issues relocation issues. Going in and sharing a market that hasnt had an nfl team in 20 years and then having to split it with somebody else is it an option they have . Yes. I think the one they really want is to be here. And were hoping we can accommodate that. Yesterday the raiders announced plans to build and share with the chargers a 1. 7 billion stadium in the city of carson about 15 miles south of downtown l. A. , while at the same time saying they are committed to making something work out here in oakland. For years, they wanted to get it out of the aging o. Co stadium. Part of the obstacle funding. The mayor of oakland said shes committed to keeping the team here but doesnt want to use public funds to build the stadium. One of her colleagues urged a regional approach to the problem. Oakland is not at the level that san diego is or l. A. Is in terms of population business growth, development. So the reality is we have cities that like dublin and pleasanton that have investors that would come to the table if we include them and invite them, and i think if i was in the mayors shoes, thats what i would do. The executive director of the Coliseum Authority pointed out there were other ways outside of public funds to entice the raids or any team to build a stadium namely giving them land helping them out with game day expenses and revenue sharing agreements.

The jaws of life stopping a fire from spreading. That fire broke out at about 2 00 this morning at an Auto Repair Shop in east oakland. Fire crews initially couldnt get in because the building was so secure. Crews had to use the jaws of life to pry open the doors. Damage was limited to one area of the shop including several cars. Held captive, beaten and sexually assaulted. This morning, there are questions surrounding the alleged kidnapping of a woman. Petaluma police said a woman showed up claiming she was kidnapped at gunpoint three weeks ago. She said her captors beat and sexually assaulted her at a home in santa rosa before she finally escaped. Yesterday, Sonoma County sheriffs agents served a search warrants at the home. Today, police may identify the man theyve arrested for killing a Security Guard in san jose. I should say men. Police arrested two men. Manny zuniga and a fellow Security Guard reacting to a robbery. Someone started shooting. Witnesses say new neega stepped into the line of fire. A man who stabbed a coworker at work is on the loose. The two were arguing about something work related when the suspect pulled out a knife and stabbed the man. The victim should be okay. Deputies say they know who the suspect is. But they dont know where he is. Well san jose plaes need your help catching a robbery suspect. You can look at the surveillance pictures. Officers say back in december the man in the hat stole several items from Coles Department store on the key road. Security officers tried to stop him, but police said he hit them with some sort of metal object. He has tattoos on both sides of his neck. People in santa clara can chime in on a proposal allowing deputies to track doubt criminals using cell phones. Its a mobile device called stingray that mimics a cell phau tower in order to scan for nearby cell phones. Investigators say they would have fweet a search warrant to use the system. The fbi has said it doesnt believe warrants are necessary to use stingrays. A Public Meeting is set for 1 00 today at the Sheriffs Office near downtown san jose. If you havent changed the way you dial phone numbers you will soon starting tomorrow ux you have to dial the phone number starting with the area code. Its to prepare for the new 628 area code. Good morning. You know 415 was the only area code decades ago. The only one you needed to know. Now in the bay area there are half a dozen, and 415 prefixes are expected to be completely assigned by some time this year. We have a new one headed to the area, 628. Get used to those numbers. Starting just after midnight saturday 12 01 a. M. Even from a 415 number youll have to dial 1415, and then the phone number, or youll get a recording saying your call cant be completed. Your current phone number and area code will not change nor will the price of a call covered area and other rates. People with the 415 area code we spoke with said theyre happy to have the 415, and as for the change in dialing habits no big deal because everyone is on a cell phone. Very strange. I dont really it doesnt bother me. Most people i tap a name or number in my phone. So i guess if i had a rotary phone, i guess i would have to unmemorize the 415, but its not going to be that big of a deal. This is called an overlay. Instead of splitting up area codes, this impacts San Francisco county moe of marin county, and a small portion of san mateo county. Now, 415 is nearing 70 years in existence. In 1959 the state then created 707 for the north and 408 for the south bay. In 1991 east bay got 510. In 1997 they switched to 510. Its estimated some of the other numbers will also run out relatively soon in the next few years. 707 in 2019 510 out by 2020 and 916 by 2021. Each of those would probably get an overlay as well similar to what happened in the south bay. You may remember in 2012 408 got an overlay with 669, so this is similar to that. As for who can get 628, that starts in a month, starting march 21st. If you want to insure you get 415, you have about a month to do that. In San Francisco, stephanie chuang. Thanks steph. Up next, nice in the bay area particularly in the 408, but not in the rest of the country. Well show you some of the examples of the extreme cold. Plus coffee lovers rejoice.

Peter alexander and dylan dreyer shows up what were mixing out on. Good day to you from the upper Chesapeake Bay channel. The temperature doubling since we got out here at dawn. 2 degrees then 4 degrees now. The windchill making it feel like 18 degrees below zero. Were on the coast kaurt cutter right now, and you can see what were trying to carve through right now. This is thick ice, as thick as any we have seen all day so far. Up to 2 feet deep in some places. This cutter with the steel hull can only get through about 18 inches. The ice, as they describe it is packed and stacked. Youll hear that noise. Thats the sound it makes. If it gets too big, we have to go back and ram, back and ram. Theyll be out here all day in what is one of the busiest ports in the midatlantic. Dylan, take it away. Im dylan dreyer in new york where we have captured what cold looks like here as wem. This is a National Park and this is a giant fountain. A manmade fountain that shoots water about five stories high. You can see the water still coming out the top of it and then it freezes and creates this absolutely gorgeous ice sculpture. It happens every year. But this year its just the perfect way to show you just how cold it is. We were at 8 degrees below zero this morning. Were breaking records all across the eastern half of the country. In baltimore the old record was set back in the late 1800s, and we bottomed out at 1 degree today. Were shattering records of all kinds, and sometimes you just have to put it into a picture. And i think this fountain makes the cold actually look pretty. Im dylan dreyer in tennessee falls, new york. We are following breaking news zs out of San Francisco. A news chopper is over a bakery at San Franciscos Fishermans Wharf. You see the firefighters on the scene. This is all because of a possible hazmat situation. Calls for help came in at about 10 20 this morning. Omps say people were coughing, complaining of a tingling sensation in their throats and that send firefighters to the scene this morning. This is the one right there on Fishermans Wharf on the triangular parking lot in front of the Mechanized Museum there. Exactly. Were hoping to hear from an official from San FranciscoFire Department right now. Mindy joins us live. So whats the situation there . Do we know has anyone been injured and what caused this . Okay so the long and the short of it is that it was confirmed that it was pepper spray incident. We did transport 11 oh, im sorry. We didnt transport 11 patients but there were 11 total people that were affected. And they all declined to be transported to the hospital. And who had the pepper spray . Do you know . That i do not know. Initially, they thought it may have been work that was being done on a refrigerator but after further investigation, they confirmed it was pepper spray. And is the restaurant right now closed . What do you do at this point . Well it dissipates and so we have cleared the building nothing is being picked up on the cgi monitors anymore. So they have cleared the building and theyre back in business. Theyre back in business. The police at the scene as well investigating the pepper spray angle of it . That im not quite sure. We were just more just looking out, at what the cause of it was. The situation has been lifted . It has. Okay all right. 11 people treated for a pepper spray incident there at the bakery in San Francisco today. We see crews quickly arrived to the scene to treat those people. No one wanted to be transported. A cause for concern. Exciting day for tourists on Fishermans Wharf one way or the other. Good thing it was just pepper spray. Let us check the weather with christina. We could use a breath of fresh air. If it werent for the darn pollen levels, i would say get out there. If youre someone who does not suffer from allergies, not a bad day shaping up. A lot of people have been reporting sniffling sneezing. Well talk about when the pollen levels will drop off. I want to show you the time lapse from sunol. Completely clear on the east shore. Pacifica was socked in with fog. Now the sun is shining brightly. Here in the south bay, were still waiting for the low clouds to burn off, although it looks like the sun is going to make a big appearance as we head throughout the next couple hours and the warm air will mix down from the upper levels and is going to be nice to finish off the day. 57 in San Francisco right now. 51 in the north bay. 57 here in the south bay. On our way to the 70s. So a lovely day coming your way. And a really nice day for tomorrow as well. We are getting closer to spring. Want to remind you, march 8th we spring forward. Thats when were going to lose an hour. March 20th is the First Official day of spring. And were targeting a couple opportunities for some rainfall right here in the bay area. As of this weekend, in fact, which is when well see the pollen levels drop off. Theyre very high peaking today. Still relatively high for the part of next week, but after today, into your saturday and especially sunday they will be dropping off. Lets talk about the two different sides to the weekend. Mostly sunny, Beautiful Day for saturday. Cloudy to start. Nice afternoon sunshine similar to what were experiencing today. Temps in the lower 70s, then on sunday, the clouds will increase, fall to the lower 60s, and a passing evening shower certainly in the works for parts of the bay area especially the south end with this little cutoff low starting to work its way. Its going to go to the south and then it will start to come back up to the north. For us its not going to be making a big impact i dont think well see heavy shower activity. Maybe measurable precipitation over the santa cruz mountains. Its going to bring tahoe much needed snowfall. Next week temperatures look pretty good. Were going to keep the chance for showers going on monday as well. And youll notice here on the sevenday forecast as we get into thursday and friday a better chance for that. We love celebrating different cultures in the bay area. We all come together for the lunar new year. This is at the San Francisco botanical garden. Beautiful day for tomorrow. Noon, 64 degrees. Free for you and the family. One of many events. Right now, back to you scott and laura. We love the celebrations. Back in a empty. The warriors are in action playing host to the spurs.

He won the trophia last weekend, beating out klay thompson. This is hypnotic. Up next our hidden cameras take you inside a showdown over marijuana taxes in the south bay. We pay all our taxes wer wr supposed to be paying. You pay all the taxes youre supposed to be paying . We investigate the growing controversy over marijuana, the law, and millions in unpaid tax dollars. [ birds chirping ] [ inhales, exhales ] [ announcer ] cigarettes are not just dangerous when theyre smoked. [ rat squeaking ] theyre dangerous long after. Cigarette butts are toxic. They release chemicals that poison our water. And harm wildlife. And millions. Are polluting our environment. [ sniffing ] [ seagulls squawking ] welcome back, everyone. Nearly two decades ago, california voters put streets across the state in the marijuana business. We follow the money, were talking about millions of dollars in taxes from the Marijuana Industry who are not paying and why not. Tony is here with an undercover look inside the controversy of pot and taxes and tony were talking about a collision between government pot shops and the law. Scott and laura in san jose pot businesses required to hand over about 10 prs of their sales to the city. Another 8. 5 to the state. For years zyears, the two sides have battled over marijuana business taxes. A semantic power struggle leaving millions of unpaid dollars. Were not even close to closing down. Listen closely. Those prices include sale taxes, to the state and the city as well. Your hearing and seeing one side of this controversy through the lens of our hidden cameras. So you guys are on the up and up. Were good. Our investigation included visits to more than four dozen recently closed and currently operating pot shops in san jose. We pay all the taxes were supposed to be paying. You pay all the taxes youre supposed to be paying . Yes. Employees at san jose pot shops claim their employers are doing nothing wrong, paying all their taxes and not in any danger of getting shut down by the city. You guys pay the taxes . Yes. Okay. Im not going to come back and youre done because you didnt pay taxes . No. Was the information shared there accurate . No its incret. Theyre not paying taxes. This woman coordinates marijuana business for the city of san jose. Since 2011 san jose has collected more than 18 million in taxes for pot shops. But in response to requests from the Investigative Unit the city confirmed it has more than 2 million in unpaid marijuana taxes, penalties, and interest. 2 million is a lot of money because the city dropped the ball by not getting those dollars . I would say no. Its the citys goal to eventually pursue that unpaid tax amount. The citys list of noncompliant pot shops includes five active and operating locations. San jose medicinal group, norcalcare mehdi mart and the all american cannabis club. We can do better. San jose mayor samlocardo. Theres at least two million that hasnt been collected. Yeah. Thats a lot of money. Probably conservative. Probably more. Can the city do more . Should the city do more . Yes and yes. We can always do better. Are you worried youre going to be put out of business . No why would i be worried inim the only one who seems to understand the concept. Hes the ceo of medi marts in san jose. The city says his business is one of the worst offenders, owing nearly a half million in unpaid taxes and penalties. The only problem we have with the city is the marijuana business tax. Like i said it implicated the sale. Theres case laws and guys in federal prison right now because they paid a tax on cannabis it was considered a sale of a controlled substance, so theyre doing ten years in prison. Based on the conflict armstrong refuses to pay because he fears it will confirm his sale of an illegal drug. This is our indoor facility. Where we grow our medicine. He believes he doesnt owe the tax because hes running what he calls a closedloop collective. These are samples. Growing the pot and providing it to his members or coowners. He says theyre not customers and the money they pay is an equitable contribution and not a sale. Youre not paying taxes . No because we make everything ourselves. Are you paying taxes to the city right now . We are not. Dave owns the all american cannabis club. When it comes to taxes, do i pay the taxes . Its already included in the menu. Shes a little misinformed and thats a conversation i have to have back at the shop. The truth is they have never paid marijuana business tax to the city of san jose. City records show dave has been noncompliant for four years. More than a half Million Dollars in unpaid taxes and penalties. I want to pay sales tax, but by paying sales tax, im admitting im selling marijuana, which is violating the law. Hes referring to federal law, and the conflict with state laws. Hodges and other pot shop owners also point to this language at the top of san joses marijuana business tax return. It includes payment of the tax does not authorize unlawful business. Now, its the law to say you can sell marijuana, we would gladly pay sales tax, but the law doesnt say that. This is a semantics nightmare. It is. It just needs to be cleared up. Are you worried the city is going to come and lock your door snz. You know, its been a concern of mine ever since i started five years ago. Whats your message to these businesses . Pack up. Its time to move on. And pay up on your way out. I would say to the mayor he won by 2,000 votes, and theres a Large Population in the city of san jose who wants us here. And were going to stay here. Now, we reached out to the three other noncompliant pot shops, norcalcare says its paying its back taxes and should be off the list next month. The other two locations did not respond to our calls. Now, interesting point here mayorlocardo said he thinks the city should not be in the business of regulating marijuana. He said if it is a medicine, it belongs in a pharmacy and under the supervision of the fda. So really a lot of conflict here that still needs to be resolved. I see hodges points. If my taxes are violating city tax law, it doesnt seem to be a big penalty, or violated federal drug law, im take the city tax law. Theyre willing to pay taxes, just clear up this language. If you want to call the tax an administrative tax, a Law Enforcement tax, theyre on board. Theyll start writing the checks. If you call it a marijuana business tax, youre taxing for the sale of what is considered a controlled substance. Thats the nuance. Thats the semantic difference and thats why theyre not paying. So many governments involved quasilegal in some cases. Many layers. Yet theyre still operating. Exactly, and you heard, theyre not going anywhere. And i think when you hear what theyre saying, theyre hoping to last until next year when californias likely to vote on legalizing recreational marijuana. That changes the game field more completely, more like colorado more Like Washington and maybe bring more consistent foundation, because right now in california, city by city the regulations are different. Right, exactly. And yet theres so much money being made. A lot of money. Tony thank you so much. Well when it comes to our private medical information, we assume its going to be kept secure, but what happens when its not . Our Investigative Unit is also looking into Security Breaches. Specifically when it comes to worker comp. We found people who are injured on the job now facing more problems their personal information is out there. Companies are sending private medical data to the wrong people but where exactly it went and who has it remains a mystery. They couldnt tell me how many copies of my information were made.

A very personal revelation from congressman mike honda about his young transgender grand daughter. His love and call for acceptance is resonating on social media. A grateful lgtb community said the congressman is showing a perfect example of how to support children and meet with their differences. Shes into gymnastics. And you know i think hello kitty is one of her favorites. Very much like my daughter. Congressman mike honda said he wasnt sure what would happen when he tweeted his support of his transgender granddaughter, melissa. The world may be just learning about her, but melissa has always known who she is. She said im a girl. Pretty clear. Named brody at birth, at 3 years old, she announced a new name for herself. She said my name is melissa, you spell it malisa. Members of the Community Say three years old is pretty standard to know. And that congressman hondas family is doing an incredible job of supporting his granddaughter. Transgendered children do know that they are who they are at a very young age. And hes honoring that. I mean his whole family is honoring that. This woman says unlike other minority groups that lean on their family for support lgbt kids are often turned away from parents who dont understand. Your family often rejects you rather than nurtures you. Congressman honda credits his daughter michelle for allowing melissa to be herself. It was an aha moment for adults to hear the declaration, im a girl. Okay. All right. And then you know at 3, she says this is my name. So you respect that. In san jose im peggy bunker nbc bay area news. Well up next at 11 00, all that oscar buzz is about to come to fruition. The favorites for this weekends Academy Awards. Plus of course those are the things you live for. I mean those are theuber success stories. Hes helping Sick Children not with medicine but with math. The way this retired engineer is changing lives will make you bay area proud. And we have a Beautiful Day shaping up. Earlier, socked in with fog. The sun is coming out in full force all across the bay area but i do want to tell you, two very different sides to the weekend. Well tell you whats going on around here help you make the outdoor plans and your getaway forecast when we come right back. Release a devastating avalanche of taste on your tongue. Bury yourself in the flavor full of sweet icing and filling. Call off the hounds rescue is unnecessary. Pillsbury toaster strudel, the snow day of breakfasts. Who wants pizza rolls . this game day, fun harder with totinos pizza rolls. And blasted crust rolls. Well the countdown is on for hollywoods biggest night of the year. The Academy Awards is sunday night. Big stars, bright lights, bold fashions. There are so many ways to describe the oscars but this years show might be summed up by just two words. Boyhood and birdman. Our Perfect Dream actor is not going to knock on the door both films have oneword titles that begun with b. It looks like boyhood had it sewn up but then in the last couple weeks, birdman had this resurgence. Whoil those two films are grabbing top awards two oertsz have been grabbing headlines. The several rights movie selma which some feel was snubbed in a couple major categories. I want to get the bade guys and american sniper, a story tied to a reallife trial and the only blockbuster up for best picture. Another race too close to call, lead actor. I think the question is what will the academy want to honor . Will it be the performance that tugged at their heart strings . Eddyie redmayne or the colorperull cooler performance, Michael Keaton . The other acting categories have strong front runners. Sometimes i can see the words hanging in front of me and i cant reach them. Fivetime nominee Julianne Moore is favored to win her first oscar. And whiplashs j. K. Simmons and Patricia Arquette have swept this award season. Theres no way any of those three people will not win. Look at that. Havent seen half of those movies. Got a couple of days. All right, fighting a lifethreatening illness would be tough at any age, but for a child, it can seem tougher. Time in the hospital is time away from home and school. How do kids keep up and continue to learn . Garvin thomas is here with todays bay area proud. Jerry isnt quite sure if he likes math as a kid because he was good at it or got good at it because he liked it. Either way, math ended up forming the basis of a great career for him. Its also how jerry has been choosing to give back for the past decade and a half. At Childrens Hospital oakland, surrounded by doctors and nurses busy saving lives with medicine okay this is divided into how many parts . Jerry brody quietly changes them with math. Youre really good at this. Lets see what else we have. Twice a week for 15 years jerry had been coming to childrens making sure kids too sick to come to class dont fall too far behind in school. Sort of the mother of all purab laws jerry, a retired chevron engineer tutors children of every age at every level, with even a game or tw of chess thrown in. It was in the back of my mind, at some point, i would love to teach. Hes plainly good at it. Very popular with the patients not to mention their parents where. Its amazing. I couldnt thank him enough. Hes impacting, not just for a little bit, but hes impacting them forever. Absolutely. Now, if that seems to you a bit of an exaggeration just take a trip to the university of nevada reno and check in with jamie. He actually got me to love mathematics. When jamie was 11 years old, he was treated at oakland childrens for an aggressive form of cancer. He missed some of the sixth grade and all of seventh grade. But not only did jamie not fall behind in math. Just the opposite in fact. Jamie, now an applied mathematics major in college, says it was jerry who not only influenced his course of study but the direction of his life. Yeah anyone who dedicates themselves to help people like that, i mean any little thing that they might be doing to help can have a significant mark on that persons life and my case thats exactly what happened. Those are the things that you live for. I mean those are the uber success stories. If i multiply it while those successes are nice jerry always keeps them in perspective. What matters the most to him is not that his pupils go on to bigger and better things. Its just that they go period. The thing that sustains me is most of these children get well. They get better, and they leave. Jerry says hes not sure from visit to visit who hell be working with on a certain day. Some patients he sees just once and others he works with over months and years. In fact jamie, he even continued to getting tutored by jerry even after he left the hospital over the phone. Garvin thomas, nbc bay area news. Thats cool. It is. And two people who like to write better than math anyone who can make math interesting can i call him now . Lets check your weather with a mathematician, scientist, and meteorologist . Where is my pocket square. I have a protector as well. Right here nice and clear this morning. Doesnt take a scientist to tell you this is the trend for offshore flow. When youre getting more 9 right at the coast than what were experiencing here in the south bay, seeing the wind coming from the hills, and thats going to keep the beaches nice and clear for today and for most of tomorrow as well. If youre trying to get away though stick around. I have your getaway forecast. Two different sides to the weekend. An area of low pressure the first in a series of storm systems slated to hit the bay area in the next seven days. If you dont want to wait your seven day forecast is scrolling at the bottom of the screen. Temperatures are starting to creep up. Its going to take a little while for the warm air to mix down. Its been nice and sunny for quite some time but we had lowlevel clouds keeping the temps down. Now were looking good between now and about 3 00 p. M. , ramping up the numbers into the 70s for today. 71 degrees in the trivalley. 71 on the peninsula today. And 71 degrees, beautiful conditions for us here in the south bay to finish off the week. Two very different sides to the weekend. If you want to get outdoors looking for the vitamin d, saturday is the day to do so. Clear skies. Lower 70s on the way.
