The mission to transform the century old gas system into the most safe reliable system in the country. Reporter the response was one of a series of Forward Looking Statements offered up by the utility in response to the indictments all three packaged without reporters questions. Sometimes answering reporters questions is not the best strategy. Its difficult to stay on message, Companies Want to be able to deliver a message and get that message to the their audience. Its just another tactic in the arsenal that the Companies Like pg e have. Reporter what is the ultimate goal . Ultimately its about getting out of crisis mode and getting back the trust that you lose. Keep talking about what they have done and what theyre going to do in the future. This was not an accident. This could have been prevented.

This one has 46 graduating and the newest class will have more empty seats. Yesterday we hired 29 officers. Thats quite a bit lower than were used to. Reporter its the smallest recruiting class in decades but it didnt start out that way. 754 qualified basic physicals but background checks and interview boards wiped out the vast majority of applicants. Staffing is a huge issue with the department in the city but im not going to lower the standards just to add numbers to the academy. Reporter deputy chief dave knott says the problem goes back to recruiting. The department got roughly half the number of applications as usual. We just cant attract quality recruits anymore and 29 is all we came up with. Reporter neighboring departments do pay more. Fremont starts at almost 81,000. Santa clara pays over 77,000. San jose starts out at 75,000. But Union President says san jose Retirement Benefits recently slashed under measure b is the biggest reason. We offer the worst pension plan for police in the state.

Tony lopez with how just a few miles can major a huge difference in what state employees are paying for healthcare. Reporter calpers building in sacramento has many things, beautiful architecture, a riverfront location but one might wonder if the agency that manages the state Public Employee pension and Health Benefits has in its possession a map of northern california.

We want to draw their attention to this and hopefully they will fix it. Reporter the yolo county supervisor says the fix will save thousands of Public Employees hundreds of dollars each month. They should see their rates adjusted more to reflect the reality that they are part of the Sacramento Region and not part of San Francisco and oakland. Reporter calpers said, since 2005, calpers has grouped counties into regions because healthcare costs vary among counties. Counties with similar healthcare costs are grouped into region taking into account historic cost variation and enrollment, coverage areas and geography. After that wordy response, the agency then told us, it is strongly considering changing its policy. In sacramento, tony lopez, kpix 5. A hearing on moving the counties is set for april 15.

But the as have another title, one of Major League Baseballs least valuable teams. A forbes list ranks oakland 28th out of 30 franchises and well behind the states other teams. The dodgers are worth 4 times as much mainly because of l. A. s new multibilliondollar tv rights deal. The dodgers make 280 million a year through their deal. The as tv rights are a fraction of that, about 45 million. Another big reason they at the bottom of the list, the team doesnt own their stadium.

Our best ever value plans for business just got even better. The most theyve ever promid to a dennis is here with sports. The as in the second game of the doubleheader. In the first one they dont sign too many free agents, you know, usually if the as have a pitcher that runs out of time on his contract he leaves via free agency. This is different. When the as signed pitcher scott kazmir to a 22 million deal, it was the most they have ever promised to a free agent starter risk investment with dividends paying off. He played against the former team indians. Sogard scored. 30 as. Then in the third callaspo looking for a good rate on a loan gets one at loan mark 2 run shot 50 as.

The 49ers and raiders were interested in the former cal star who was released after 6 years in philadelphia. You know, theres an old saying around these parts that there are three certainties in life, death, taxes and the stanford women in the final four. Were going to nashville. Im proud of them and were going. They rallied back from 13 down to beat North Carolina and advance to the final four for the 6th time in 7 years. To top it off they celebrated on their home floor. Cut down the nets for the umpteenth shot whats it feel like being up there cutting it down. It next gets old for tara. This is my second time as a junior and not going back last year. To stand here, tshirt, hat, going to nashville, has it hit you yet . No. This is unbelievable. I would say it may not always be pretty but we are very gritty. For some reason vern was the only local tv reporter there last night. They deserve more respect. Stanford will need plenty of grit if they are going to knock off undefeated uconn on sunday. The huskies beat the cardinal by 21 in november and vern glenn will be at nashville to cover the womens final four. Pat summitt took tennessee to 18 final fours. They hired her from tyler to be their new womens head coach. Despite being only a few months older than some of the players. Lets address the elephant in the room. Im not 15 years old even though i look it. I am 23 and if thats my biggest weakness thats great because inevitably, no matter what i do, thats going to change. Cant fool father time.
