Thats the highest total in more than two decades. Now, according to new data from the governors Highway Safety association, thats where theyre getting those figures from, researchers think the biggest factor that s that more drivers and walkers are distracted by cell phones and electronic devices. Four states that includes california accounted for 42 of all pedestrian deaths. California was one of five states with more than 100 pedestrian deaths last year. There were just over two pedestrian deaths on average per 100,000 people in california. Thats the ninthhighest rate in the country. A lot of people like to shop at target. Check your game closet. Target is recalling thousands of tictactoe games. The recall involves 19,000 magnetic tictactoe games that sold only at target stores.

Why would you want to give out any of your personal information to a Faceless Corporation for the sole purpose of them selling it . A number of crowd funding sites have sprung up. People say theyre going to take revenge by raising money to buy congress peoples web brucing dat browsing data. This activist has raised quite a bit of money already. The millionaire who created cards against humanity suggested the same idea. The problem here is its not clear how they would do that. Internet companies havent explained how theyll sell the data and current law does already say it has to be anonymized so hold off for now on those crowd funding ideas until we know a little bit more.

Yes, governor jerry brown will be here in concord a few hours to sell his plan to spend over 52 billion over the next 20 years to fix roads in concord and throughout the rest of the bay area in the state. To pay for this the governor is proposing the first gas tax increase in over 20 years he wants a 12 cents per gallon of glass careen, a 20 cents per ban increase on diesel. He wants a 100 annual fee on zero Emission Vehicle and also proposing over 700 million from the general fund. That money would go toward fixing potholes, other kind of repairs for highways, bridges and culverts. It would also help improve public transportation, walking and biking trails and the reduction of traffic on major commute routes. Governor brown says his proposal would cost drivers less than 10 a month and would reduce the cost of repairs to our cars. Our roads are most of our freeway system and our regular roads are bad. I think that would be a good idea. Reporter youre willing to spend the extra money . Yes, i am. Gas is expensive enough as it is. I wouldnt be in favor of it right now. Reporter even if it would help fix potholes and that sort of thing . Thats a tough call. The roads are terrible right now. I imagine theres a lot of money throughout for that purpose already that maybe is being underutilized that should be looked at.
