Fox 2s janine de la vega was with supporters as they headed up to the event this morning. A bus left in this Church Parking lot in san jose this morning.

It just passed the assembly and is headed to the senate floor. The group says a report released from the independent Police Auditor in san jose shows blacks and tee knows made up twothirds of the police stops in 2014.

Regulation of shortterm rentals such as airbnb rentals continues to be a hot topic heading into the election. Ktvus brian flores live in the Castro District in San Francisco with why both sides are speaking out today. Hi, good afternoon to you. Opponents of proposition f held a press conference in front of ikes Sandwich Shop a couple hours ago. They say proposition f is too restrictive. Supporters say this is about Public Safety as well as economic impact. San francisco will soon vote on a new shortterm rental law. Even though the city just passed new laws regulating it. Now this was a commercial from the no on f campaign, and this is what youll be seeing in the next few weeks heading into the elections. What theyre saying about proposition f is that it will greatly affect Small Businesses. They released a study showing the impact of Services Like airbnb saying it generated 105 million towards local businesses, 5 million towards sales tax revenue just in the city last year, and they say if prop f if approved would affect that revenue for Small Businesses, but also affect hosts who depend on home sharing to supplement their income. We dont have any hotels in the mission, so airbnb plays a vital role in our community. It gets people out to our businesses. The Mission District is also one of the largest consolidated area of Small Businesses in the city, so its really important to us. Now supporters of proposition f say there isnt enough regulation saying that only a handful of airbnb listings are registered in the city. They say this is a safety issue as well with different people coming into neighborhoods at different times and say not regulating it hurts businesses in the long run. If someone wants to rent an extra room in their house from time to time, fine. Prop f lets them do that but weve got to report the number of nights that someone is staying in their house and airbnb and the other websites can only list units that are properly registered with the city. We have 10 or 12,000 listings on these websites right now. Only 600 people have registered to do shortterm rentals legally. Prop f would limit Short Term Rentals to 75 nights per year. The current rule is 90 days. It would also require hosts to prepare quarterly reports and would fine hosts for not registering their listing with the city of San Francisco. This issue pretty divisive as well with mayor lee siding with the no on f campaign saying its too restrictive. Senator Dianne Feinstein saying yes on proposition f saying that homes would need to stop becoming de facto hotels. Back to you. Thank you.

This morning maryland senator Barbara Mikulski tipped the scales in the president s favor by announcing she will back the deal.

The eastern span of the bay bridge is 2 years old today. Since its opening there have been a number of problems and ongoing projects. Caltrans says it has a team of experts working on a solution to fix the cracked steel rods on the bridge. Engineers will have a report with a plan on what to do about them by the end of this month. The bridge is absolutely safe. Like any other bridge, the bay bridge is overly designed. The anchor rods are an additional layer of performance. It is not a safety issue. The bike path that runs along the southern edge of that bridge will be complete in 2016 allowing cyclists and pedestrians to go from emeryville all the way to buena island. If caltrans goes ahead with plans to use explosives to take down part of the bridge all the activity will happen below the surface of the water. Spectators wont be able to see or hear the implosion if it happens. A proposal to help ease traffic jams on the Richmond San Rafael bridge is on the governors desk. It would fast track opening of a third lane on the lower deck. That shoulder is wide enough for another lane but its being used as a place to park construction equipment. The bill would also design work on the third lane to take place at the same time as environmental reviews, which would speed up the process. Assemblyman mark levine has another deal in the works that would allow the lane to open in a matter of weeks on a temporary basis. Good afternoon everybody. I thought wed look back a little bit.
