So far i havent heard anything that you want to get to right away. Its been nice. Okay. This spring break thing is a phenomena. We have noticed that traffic is more routine and we havent had a lot of major things. Hopefully it will stay this way. In fact we start off with the bay bridge toll plaza here and the traffic i started off with the toll plaza here. There we go. The traffic is backed up 15 to 20 minutes. Maybe a little longer. This is just an estimate. About the same every day. No major problems on the bridge as u drive into San Francisco on that bridge. It is just crowded. This is a look at interstate 880 in oakland. In both directions it looks like the camera is freezing up here. Im move on to the nimitz freeway on the maps. From hayward down to 92, we have stop and go traffic.

Rob malcolm is live in pittsburg where this is a major topic of discussion. Reporter yes. They are in the process of voting on the sanctuary status. Were getting reaction from yesterdays vote. Yesterday the state Senate Approved a legislation 2712 by party lines. Similar to the sanctuary policies of other bay area cities like San Francisco, oakland and san jose. It prevents local and state Law Enforcement from using resources to investigator arrest people for immigration violations. But the policy is facing opposition from police groups. Kevin of los angeles amended the measure to allow the department of corrections to notify the federal government up to two months before an undocumented immigrant convicted of violent or serious felonies is released. We will cooperate with our friends at the federal level but wont cooperate or lift a finger or spend a single state when were talking about separating children from their mothers. If you have felony child abuse, this bill shields you. If you take hostages to prevent an arrest and youre serving in our prison, this bill shields you. Reporter if california becomes a sanctuary state, the city of pittsburg would have to follow the law. Five Council Members in pittsburg say they cant justify becoming a sanctuary city and risk losing federal money. President trump has offered to pull federal money to sanctuary cities and states. And pittsburg votes on the sanctuary status april 17th. Its not clear when the state will vote again. Were live in pittsburg, rob malcolm, ktvu fox 2 news. Thank you. Our question to you at home is this. Do you think that california should become a sanctuary state . Yes or no . Take a vote over on twitter or ktvu. Com and we love reading your comments on facebook. There will be a rally at 6 00 calling for sanctuary workplaces. There will be another rally at the Oakland City Council meeting. It is a ramp up to the National Strike calling for immigrant rights and protections. Senate republicans say neil gorsuch will be confirmed this week one way or another. The democrats are not going to make that easy. Doug luzader has the latest from capitol hill. Doug. Reporter good morning. You cant rule out a last minute deal. Absent that, we are getting closer and closer to the so called Nuclear Option. Probably later this week here in the senate. A showdown in the senate. Judge neil gorsuch coming much closer to a to vetted seat on the u. S. Supreme court. The nomination being reported to the floor. Reporter the Senate Judiciary Committee Gave gorsuch its blessing moving towards a confirmation later in the week. But more Senate Democrats are on board for a filibuster. Yesterday crossing the critical 41 member threshold to block gorsuch. I cannot support this nomination. Reporter democrats see this as some measure of pay back for republicans refusal to consider president obamas peck for the court, garland. But republicans have a plan b, the Nuclear Option. A change that many in both parties are reluctant to see happen. That means the judges are going to be more id logical, not idealogical, not less. The Nuclear Option would mean that which ever Party Controls the white house would have more power to nomination justices from this point forward. This has been building up for years. All i can say is what Goes Around Comes Around. Reporter what Goes Around Comes Around. And that is what has prevented the deployment of the Nuclear Option for so long. It may happen perhaps on friday as the whole thing comes to a head. Back to you guys. Doug luzader live in washington. More on this political theater coming up at 7 30. We will have a discussion about this. Right. The time is 7 07. San francisco could ban advertisements on the side of muni buses. Leigh martinez is in San Francisco with more on why the board of directors wants the ban. Reporter well, in the past, some of these ads have contained profanity or violent descriptions. These ads have prompted a lot of angry protests in city and Even National news because of these ads. Now, one controversial ad ran back in 2012, supporting israel and names an unknown savage. There was also a picture of adolf hitler with an islamic reader that read islamic jew hatred. The Antidefamation League called it antiislam. The railway didnt support the message but couldnt remove them because of First Amendment protection. Instead of removing the ads from the buses, they would give ad revenue to the human rights commission. The vote today would prohibit ads that contain a political or public issue intended to be insulting or offensive or harmful or disruptive to the transit system. That ad policy was enacted back in 2004 and there havent been any changes. If the vote is yes to change it, the changes will take place tomorrow. Back to you. Thank you. New this morning, police are investigating two people stabbed in downtown san jose just about midnight. Authorities responded to reports of several people getting attacked right there near the San Jose Convention center. When officers arrived on scene, they found two people injured near the guadalupe river. The victims were transported to the hospital and are expected to survive. The attacker was seen running away. The man accused of kidnapping, drugging and sexually assaulting a 13year old girl is scheduled to be in court this afternoon.

Companies that are reportedly interested in acquiring pannerra includes starbucks, dominoes pizza and the Company Behind krispy kreme donuts. Say so long to yahoo.

It comes with the slogan take the oath 2017. That suggests verizon does expect that deal to close before the end of june. Well, today is equal payday. Weve been talking about this. A National Campaign to draw attention to the pay gap between men and women. It also symbolizes the date when a womens wang catches up to what men were paid the previous year. A new study by leanin. Org says that women earn 20 than men in the same job. Equal pay is essential to the goal of gender equality. Today hundreds of businesses across the country are offering 20 discounts to women to help raise awareness. The big brown trucks will make deliveries on saturdays now. It will extend to 4700 cities just in time for the holiday season. That will put it in direct competition with the Postal Service and fedex that already makes saturday deliveries. The new schedule will create 6,000 jobs by the end of next year and hiring is already underway. I have been talking to ups drivers, postal carriers. It seems like we will see 7day a week service from everybody at some point. And a lot of that is driven by Online Shopping. Wow. People want it right now. That would feel strange getting a knock on the door on sundays. You have to be in the mix. Right. And i have seen Postal Service already out and about on sunday. Okay. Thank you, pam. Lets run over to Sal Castaneda. I think were enjoying this spring break ease on the roads. Right, sal . Yeah. Were looking at traffic a little bit better, mike and gasia, out there. Lets go ahead and take a look at highway 101 here on the peninsula northbound. Not only is the traffic kind of slow, but look at that dramatic sky. Im sorry. Getting a little distracted with that sky. As you can see on northbound 101. Oh, it looks like we lost that picture. All right. So we will get back to that picture in a second. This is a look at westbound bay bridge approaching from the macarthur maze. 34 minutes to drive from the carquinez bridge to this point on the macarthur maze which is not bad as commutes go but it is not light. At the toll plaza, there is a delay there. You will be waiting for a bit before you make it on to the bridge. Looking at the san mateo bridge, pretty much jam packed heading over to the highrise and over to the peninsula. This is a typical commute. You can see on the maps here the traffic is slow also in the hayward area as you drive south toward fremont. Highway 4 has grown, the backup. Highway 4 is backed up into pittsburg and over the hill to bay point. And in the south bay, 85 is slow from 87 northbound 280 and 101 are slow. And 280 is actually okay right through the section in down up downtown. Lets bring steve in at 7 17. Thanks for noticing the cloud cover. It is a cool picture. It is. Sunshine yesterday. The temperatures were nice. Now the clouds are moving in. Want to give you a headsup as we go into late thursday and into friday. Not for another day or two. Rain returns thursday evening and into friday. And then again friday night into saturday. Heaviest rain looks to be according to most forecast models, about marin county north. This will be a major snow producer in the sierra. Do not take this lightly. I dont say major or strong very often. Or storm. But this has potential has potential to develop into a pretty good system for april. Probably nothing compared to what we had in january and february but there could be four inches and maybe a couple of feet up in the sierra be advised. That is late thursday and friday. A lot of cloud cover in advance of it. The system is digging. That will allow some of the clouds to deflect northward over the next 24 hours. Theyre there now. The rainfall will be impressive. I think this is underdoing some of this. Santa rosa, easily if they get an inch and three quarters, double that for the Russian River. Even san jose with an inch and a half. If that verifies, you know what that means. There could be intense rain friday morning and friday night. A lot of cloud cover over us. Cloudy to mostly cloudy pattern here. If we get sun breaks, we will get mid70s otherwise they will be in check. Nothing on the rain department. I dont think we will yet. This is the higher clouds over us. Filtered sun but a lot of cloud cover. 40sand 50s. Temperatures are kind of stuck here. Yesterday kelseyville had 35. Today 47. 46 napa. Glenn helen is in there. 20s up in the mountains. 50 down in las vegas. Ukiah at 50 degrees. Not a big difference really even on the desert from las vegas down to blythe, palm springs and l. A. Everyone within a few degrees of each other. Cloud cover with us today. A cloudymostly cloudy day. There is the energy coming across the pacific. The pattern for april looks active. Signs of rain coming in. This does not look like one and done. Cloud cover will continue to roll in here through thursday and maybe it might lift a little bit. The system digs. And the first hints of this would be thursday afternoon and the evening. There could be a drizzle before and light rain. There is late thursday, friday morning. That is when the main event is. So 70s on the temps. 60s, too much cloud cover to the north. Temperatures coming down after the mid70s yesterday. The warmest temps near santa clara valley. Thank you, steve. You got it. One of the wettest winters and caused a lot of damage in california. Up next, the high cost of damaging roadways and bridges across the state. The testing on the smart train in marin county has come to a halt. The concern about a landslide and what this means for the launch of the Train Service.

New this morning, hours after North Carolina won the mens ncaa tournament the ncaa announced it will once again consider the state of North Carolina as a potential host for championship events after officials have replaced the controversial bathroom bill that required transgender people to use the bathroom that reflects their born gender rather than the gender they identify with.

Russian investigators have identified a 22yearold man as the suicide bomber in yesterdays attack on a subway in st. Petersburg. Theres a growing memorial for the 14 people who died in the attack. 50 others were injured. The dna of the suicide bomber was found on a bag that was found and deactivated at another subway station. France has a lot of security at some of the most popular sites. California is facing a big bill when it comes to fixing damage from this winters storms. Caltrans estimates it will cost an estimated 60 million to fix the roadways. The most expensive project is in Santa Clara County where a section of highway 35 gave way. That will cost about 30 million. The replacement of the Pfeiffer Canyon bridge in Monterey County and work along highway 17 also on the list of costly repairs. On sunday, fema announced it is making more federal aid available to the california areas let by the storms. No word how much of that money will be used for the caltrans repair work. San jose mayor sam liccardo says the money cannot be used where it is needed most right now, getting 400 families forced out of their homes by flooding into permanent housing. For that the city will have to rely on donations and fundraising. Really to get the Community Back on its feet, weve got to enlist the community to do that. And weve had a lot of support so far. But were going to continue to ask for community help. The next appeal for help will come today. Thats when the mayor will unveil a new plan to get vehicles for those who had theirs damaged or destroyed during the flooding. The mayor will specifically ask for donations of cars today. He is making a special plea to car dealers for help. Testing a marin county Train Service is on hold because much a potential landfill in san rafael. It is south of the marin civic center. The agency says the recent rain loosened soil on the hills above the tracks and all of that soil has to be removed. The work has been going on for three weeks and should be done by next week. Smart says it stop testing trains in san rafael out an of an abundance of caution. The recent work is not expected to delay the start date. Up next, the impact it has had on road safety. Plus, there is a big push to try to build a Second High School here in city of dublin. We will tell you why people here in the city, especially parents say the need is great. Good morning. We have traffic that is getting busier around the bay area. This is a look at the bay bridge toll plaza. You can see traffic is going to be backed up for at least 20 minutes. Clouds continue to stream in. Some sun breaks in there. That will be the day today. So 60s and 70s. But pretty good looking system for april is on the way. Wake me up before you go go george michael, andrew ridge lee, the often forgotten second half of wham. Take a look at your screen. This is what youre waking up to. Ktvu is in the city of oakland. The Public Schools are on spring break in week. What a week for that, mike mibach. Uhhuh. Just about anywhere in the bay. It is also an important week for me because we have makeup games in Little League. The way that steve is talking, you better make them up now. I agree with that. This week will be a washout. A viewer said we have a big softball game in livermore, what is your odds thursday, friday and saturday . One out of three. Thursday were good but then youre on your own. Friday no way. Saturday, iffy if you have plans. It could be anything here. Soccer lacrosse. How is that team doing by the way, mike. Off to a good start. Good. It must be the coaches. Thank you. Very little. Rain returns thursday and into saturday. The main event will be friday. Heaviest rain to the north. Major sierra snow for april. They could measure this in feet and colder air will come in for them and us. Were still two days away. I dont want anybody to say you didnt say anything. Youre darn right we did. The ridge of High Pressure may build tomorrow. Cloud cover on the move here. Mostly cloudy. Every reporting station says cloudy. Santa rosa has a few breaks. I think we will see a mixture of sun and i had encloses. Up north, about the same. To the south, about the same. Look for a lot of cloud cover. A few breaks. 40s, 50s on the temps. East bay temps, 47 danville and blackhawk. Concord is in there. 57 pittsburg. Big difference there. 52 martinez. Cloudy to mostly cloudy. The system is on the way but wont arrive until thursday. Look for temperatures to be this is the wrong graphic. [laughter] sorry about that. If theres patchy frost, we dont have any cloud cover. Sal, im going to pass the torch to you. Im talking to my buddy keith on the twoway. Hi, keith. Hes not answering. Well 101 and lawrence expressway. Thank you. This will all make sense in a moment. We have a cameraman there we go. 101 lawrence expressway northbound 101 near the lawrence expressway. Driving up. And you can go ahead and take my control. That is what im showing as well. Northbound 101 as you drive up on the lawrence expressway, you see that traffic will be busy as you drive up here. Its the the sky is beautiful up there. No major problems as you drive up there. 280 northbound, traffic here is light. Although it is not completely light all the way through. It is light here in downtown san jose. Ill show you why. 280 was we were just showing you this section here, which always seems to be magically light. Just up the road, it is slow here. A little bit of slow getting into cupertino. 85 is slow from 87 up to saar towing a you see some of that slow traffic there. Also 880 you can see slow traffic on 880 as you drive from about 238 all the way down to fremont. This has filled in. And highway 4 continues to be slow. Now it is stretching back to all of pittsburg at bay point into concord. This is a look at highway 24 as you drive through. It is heavy in lafayette. It gets better in orinda a the bay bridge toll plaza, even the carpool lanes are slow. I dont particularly like it when i see the carpool lanes slowing down. But even that is slowing down right now. 7 32, lets go back to the desk. Republicans and democrats in the u. S. Senate are headed for a showdown whether to confirm President Trumps nomination for the u. S. Supreme court. The Senate Judiciary Committee Approved gorsuch. It is up to the full senate to vote. Democrats have enough support for a filibuster. Republicans may use the Nuclear Option to lower the number of votes needed to confirm the nominee to a simple majority. Joining us in the studio is joe tuman. Why filibuster when they know that republicans will come back with the Nuclear Option. Lets explain to our viewer whats filibuster means. For anybody who didnt watch Jimmy Stewart and mr. Smith goes to washington. This about giving a speech and passing it off when youre about to lose your voice. Basically obstructing the process so no one can get a vote. We should be clear here in this process that were talking about the senate which is not the house. There is an important difference. The senate only has 100 members. Steep from tradition where they build relationships over a period of time. One of the problems with this thing, theyre calling it day Nuclear Option which is just a change in the rules as to how many votes. 60 down to 51. Simple majority. 50 plus one. It helps to destroy that tradition and threatens developing relationships with people when you need a vote across the aisle. So thats the problem with this. And the history of this real quickly for our voters, our viewers, pardon me, is that this is something suggested about by Richard Nixon when he was Vice President back in the 1950s, change these rules. No one ever took hem up on it. The democrats did in 2013. Harry reid who was the leader of the party at that point and the senate did change it for some cabinet level positions and lower federal court judge appointments because he was frustrated the republicans were doing what they think the democrats are doing today. And the moment he did it, it changed things in the senate. And everybody on both sides said, boy, we shouldnt do this because it is hurting the tradition of working with each other. Thats where we are today. At one level it is about confirming a Supreme Court. What this is about is changing the senate. And they call it Nuclear Option because when we think of dropping a nuclear weapon, you dont come back from this thing. The more you damage relationships in the senate, the more you permanently change the nature of working with one another. Is gorsuchs confirmation a foregone conclusion. It is in the sense that the republicans in the senate if theyre willing to make this rule change can guarantee he will get through. And what it will mean in the future for future Supreme Court picks including when the democrats are in control, they will always get their nominees. You get the sense reading from republicans i dont want to but i would. Is this just how do you read a comment like that. I think theyre being sincere. Okay. I think theyre all aware of the fact this is not about the Supreme Court. This is in the end about permanently changing the nature of the senate. Remember ted kennedy who was, you know, very far to the left senator was really good friends with warren hatch, a very conservative senator from utah. And when the first died, the second was more sad than anybody else. Cried on the floor of the senate. Thats what the tradition is about, working with people when you have interest and require support in this way. When you go he this way, youre dividing the politics in the senate and the house and the congress are already triballized even within the parties. Doing this though institutionalizes it in the senate. Is this really about neil gorsuch or is this about merit garland . Thats another good point. Actually republicans in response to everything that i have said said they did it first. Right. It has that feel to it. You did it to us, were going to do it to you. You watch basketball. I know you were talking about Little League leading up to this. You might have noticed the last game with the warriors against the wizards that mcghee had a 3 point attempt with 7 seconds left. He said Im Old School and you dont break the rules. Next time we play, were going to do that to you. Thats when this is. When you go back and forth that breaks the tradition or the rules, you create an entirely different environment. The next time they play the wizards if the wizards have a chance to embarrass them, they will do it. Its not good for politics. Joe tuman, thank you for joining us this morning. Today is the deadline forbids on President Trumps border wall. The original deadline was last wednesday but u. S. Border gave an extension to answer questions from the companies. Among the questions is safety for the construction crews. Some potential bidders are asking if they will be protected from attacks from people who dont want the wall. The Administration Says between four to ten bidders will be selected to build prototypes for the wall. Allowing undocumented immigrants to obtain drivers licenses has reduced the number of hit and run crashes in california. The law took effect in january of 2015. More than 850,000 immigrants have obtained licenses since then. Researchers at the Immigration Policy Lab say granting those licenses reduced the number of hit and runs in the state because immigrants involved in crashes were less likely to leave the scene out of fear of being arrested or even deported. The study found that has saved insured drivers an estimated 17 million in insurance costs that would have absorbed from drivers fleeing collisions. There are new calls for the Dublin School district to build a Second High School. Parents say classrooms are already crowded. Enrollment is expected to increase. Alex savidge is live at the citys existing high school with more on the plans to build another one. Alex. Reporter yes. There is a big push underway in the city of dublin to try to Start Construction on the Second High School. We are here this morning outside of the existing high school. This is pub lynn high where there already are crowded classrooms and theyre looking at an influx of more students in the near future. Enrollment in the district is expected to increase by more than 6,000 students over the next seven years. Its been a year already since the school board agreed that there was a need to build a Second High School. Preferably a school that would accommodate at least 2500 students. And now there are a couple of online petitions, circulating to get the project started as soon as possible. Parents we talked to this morning whose children graduated from dublin high say it really is time for a second campus. I know some parents who have kids over there. It hasnt come up but i read a lot about it and you hear people talking about it in the stores, even starbucks that we definitely need another school. Things take time. It will take a while. Probably a couple more years. Reporter yeah. The process moving along slowly. The school board is still considering several possible sites for the new school. In regards to the financing with all of this, paying for the project, voters just last year in dublin passed a 238 million bond measure that would in part go to fund the construction of the Second High School. The money is there but a lot of parents and members of the community are saying lets pick a site and lets move forward with the project, preferably sooner rather than later. Thank you, alex. Coming up at 8 00, a scare for apple employees in the east bay after three men rush into the store right before closing time. Also designated places where people can inject drugs. Next the controversial plan that is being considered to address San Franciscos drug problem. Good morning. Traffic is still going to be busy in many areas around the bay area. This is westbound bay bridge. You can see it is backed up all the way out to the maze. High clouds continue to stream in. Partly sunny, partly cloudy today. But change is on the way. Today the San Francisco board of supervisors will start considering a plan to open up safe injection sites. Areas set up for people to inject drugs where there are also social and Health Services offered. Supervisor london breed wants a task force to consider the idea already being used in canada. That group would include a represent from the Drug User Community as well as workers in the citys police and Homelessness Health departments. The department of Public Health say there are 20,000 people who inject drugs in San Francisco. The roads are broken. And theyre getting worse and theyre not going to get better unless we get a significant injection of money. The plan would be paid for by an increase in the states gas tax. Also an increase in vehicle registration fees. Supporters are using Television Ads to pressure lawmakers. Were doing over 1 Million Campaign ask trying to touch all demogram i demographics of voters. This is not something that i can support right now. The full senate is expected to take up the legislation on thursday. The 15th Oakland International film physical at this val begins today. It will highlight independent film makers. One of the participants is danny glover. Dave clark caught up with danny glover and talked about why people some get involved this week. We increase the availability of ideas. You know what im saying. Thats what it is. Youre attracted to a Film Festival because of the ideas. And youre able to say, through film, i see what people are doing in this community, that community, and the influence that that has on me and my world. As a film maker, you meet other creative people as well. The Film Festival lasts for five days. On saturday, they will be celebrating the 40th anniversary of roots. Lets check in with sal right now. You have been busy, sal. Did you get a chance to see the tony romo news . It looks like he will be retiring from football. I didnt see that. I have been busy here. Come here, allie. What are we doing . Allie rasmus. Allie is here. Allie is training to be my replacement because im going to be going on vacation. So if i seem a little distracted its because the wonderful allie rasmus has been sitting next to me all morning. She will be here on thursday and friday. I know i have big shoes to fill. Exactly. All right. Lets go to traffic. All right. Lets go to traffic now. And take a look at the east shore freeway. Allie is paying attention. Start with the east shore freeway. The traffic is going to be oh, its going to be okay. 39 minutes. As far as commutes go, thats not that bad this time of year. I wish it was lighter on this spring break. The bay bridge toll plaza is backed up for 15 to 20 minutes. If you are driving on the san mateo bridge, its been crowded as well. Not even commute has been lighter as usual. This commute certainly is not. Lets move on to the east bay commute. 880 southbound from hayward to fremont is okay. Ive noticed something in the last few days. Theres been a new commute eastbound 580 heading over the hill. One day there was an accident and i thought okay its an accident. Now were getting a commute from hayward out to dublin almost every day. Were watching that. Hopefully it doesnt become a new thing but unfortunately i think it is becoming a new thing. 7 47. Lets bring steve in. As part of rehearsal, have allie toss to me. Because she is going to have to. Okay. Next time she will toss to you. We will try again next time. One of the nicest people in the news room. Would you agree. I agree. A gem. We do have a lot of cloud cover moving in. It will be with us today and tomorrow. There are breaks in the clouds but i would expect a lot of cloud cover to continue to rotate in. Tomorrow, as the system digs off shore, some of this lifts north and the temperatures warming up. Ive had many comments showing the allergy reports. What it going on . Trees are up there. Ash juniper. The question, will it stay high or go down. Stay high through thursday and then go way down because of the rain. Friday and saturday, and into sunday along with colder temps. It will get better but after the sun comes back, it will get worse again. This is a pretty significant system coming in for april. I know were two days away, two and a half actually but you need to know there will be good rain thursday, friday and again saturday. The heaviest rain will be to the north in the sierra. Okay. Theres going to be winter storm warnings eventually posted. Theyre talking about a couple feet of snow. Now the snow levels start off around 7,000 feet. By maybe late saturday, sunday, get down to 3500 feet. We could see areas of three to four inches of rain around here. Richard said will this be a snowmelt event .

It cleared the senate. Rob malcolm is joining us from pittsburg where this has become a major topic of debate in the city. Reporter it has been a hot topic in pittsburg as the city prepares to vote on its sanctuary status. Plenty of people are reacting to the vote. Yesterday the state Senate Approved a legislation 2712 by party lines. This is similar to the sanctuary policies of other bay area cities like San Francisco, oakland and san jose. It prevents local and state Law Enforcement from using their resources to investigator arrest people for immigration violations. But the policy is facing opposition from police groups. Senate pro testimony kevin of los angeles amended the measure to allow the department of corrections to notify the federal government up to two months before an undocumented immigrant convicted of violent or serious felonies is released. The counties that limit cooperation with ice, there is an average 35. 5 fewer crimes per 10,000 people in sanctuary counties. But the bill isnt fully cooked. It still allows for human traffickers. If youre convicted and serving in our prison as a human trafficker, this bill shields you from deportation. Reporter if california comes a sanctuary state, the city of pittsburg would have to follow the law. They cant justify becoming a sanctuary city and risk losing federal money. President trump threatened to pull money to city and states that have a sanctuary status. Its not clear when the state will vote again. In pittsburg, rob malcolm, ktvu fox 2 news.

President trumps Supreme Court nominee crossed an important hurdle but so did democrats who oppose him. Doug luzader has more from capitol hill on an expected filibuster and the republicans push to break it. Reporter you cant rule out a lastminute deal here. But absent that, we may see the socalled Nuclear Option triggered here in the senate later this week. That could forever change the way that the Senate Considers Supreme Court nominees. A showdown in the senate. Judge neil gorsuch coming closer to a coveted seat on the u. S. Supreme court. The nomination will be reported to the floor. Reporter on a party line vote, the Senate Judiciary Committee Gave gorsuch its blessing, moving forward to a full senate vote and confirmation later in the week. More Senate Democrats are on board for a filibuster. Yesterday crossing the critical 41member threshold to block gorsuch. I will not, i cannot support this nomination. Reporter democrats see this as some measure of pay back for republicans refusal to consider president obamas pick for the Supreme Court. A change that many in both parties are reluctant to see happen is the Nuclear Option. That means the judges will be more idealogical, not less. Every set will be a referendum on the Supreme Court. Reporter republicans argue they have no choice. That democrats would reject any nominee. The newspaper already option would mean which ever Party Controls the white house would have more power to nominate justices from this point forward. This has been building up for years. All i can say is what Goes Around Comes Around. Reporter yeah. What Goes Around Comes Around which is why some republicans are leary of triggering the Nuclear Option, knowing they will be back in the minority around here in day. Doug luzader, fox news. San francisco could ban political advertisements on the sides of muni buses. Leigh martinez is in San Francisco with more on why the muni board of directors wants the ban. Reporter hello. Test. Test. The muni riders say it is a very tough call for the city because they really de tested it but they do understand the First Amendment issues. The ads were coming from an outside group. And some of them contain profanity. Some of them contain violent descriptions. And they did spark some protests in the city and making national news. Now, one controversial ad ran in 2012, supporting israel and named an unknown savage. There was a picture of hitler and islamic leader. The ads were purchased by the American Freedom Defense Initiative that were called antiislam. At the time the muni did not support the message but couldnt remove them because of First Amendment protection. Instead of removing the ads to the buses they would give money to the knew hand rights commission. It sparked protests in the city. Muni riders disapprove of the ads but it is a tough decision to restrict free speech. I would like some sort of neutrality when it comes to politics. I dont like having politics in my face. Not in public places. It is probably a good idea. Everybodys opinion is important. Some are best kept to themselves. Reporter now, the vote today would prohibit ad thats concern a political or public issue, intends to be insulting or offensive and likely harmful or disruptive to the transit system. Now, this policy was enacted back in 2004. It hasnt been changed. If they do decide to make changes to the ad policy, it will be enacted as early as tomorrow. Back to you. Thank you, leigh.

Were waiting on system to move in. It looked like it was going to rain up north but now it is just a mix of sun and clouds. It looks like we are beginning to warm up ever so slightly. Look for a little bit of sun and cloud cover and then tomorrow we will start to see increasing clouds from the system. 60s and 70s. Sal, 8 30. Are things behaving. Yeah. Things are okay. Slow traffic where you would normally see it like in oakland, for example. Lets take that example of interstate 880 northbound.

This is a look at the traffic. It will be busy later this evening as well in this same area. And i put up the map and i can show you that 880 is not completely filled in from san leandro all the way up to oakland. There are spots. 580 is slow from highway 13 into the lake shore curve.

To the east bay where students and parents in dublin say they desperately need a New High School in the city. 2400 are already at Dublin High School and that will increase sharply in the next few years. Alex savidge has more on how far the planning process is now. Good morning, alex. Reporter good morning to you guys. They have been at this for a year or so now and they have not Broken Ground on the Second High School. There is a push from parents and members of the community to try to get the second campus. They say the existing one, dublin high, where we are this morning, where they are on spring break right now, they say this campus has very crowded classrooms and the district is also bracing for a big influx of new students in the very near future. Now, according to a report from the bay area news group, they are expecting that enrollment here in the district will increase by more than 6,000 students in just the next seven years. Now, a year ago the district and the school board agreed to Start Building a Second High School. But they still have not Broken Ground. There are now a couple of petitions circulating in the area, calling for the project to start as soon as possible. Parents whose children graduated from dublin high told us this morning that they particular it is time to build the Second School. I think its a great idea. We have too many houses coming in with families and kids. I mean, traffic is a mess. But we need another high school. Its just too crowded. Its hard to get up and down the stairs sometimes because its like its a rush. Its a mad house. Reporter the school board is right now considering several possible sites for that Second High School here in dublin. Preferably that school would accommodate at least 2500 students. Again, to accommodate the influx of students, the increase in enrollment expected in the come years. As far as paying for the project, voters just last year passed a 238 million bond measure to Fund Construction for that Second High School. So the funding would appear to be all in place. Now its up to the school board to decide ultimately on the site where that Second School will be. But theres a big push among parents and people in this area to try to get this project going. Going. And alex, you talk about a population boom. I think dublins population has doubled in the past 20 years or so. You see all of the housing going up on 580 where there used to be open hills. Right. It is all housing and those kids need a place to go to school. Reporter yeah. Certainly. In all of that time, you have all of the new people moving into the city and just the one high school. It is being pushed to the limits here. And it is finally time to do something. And, again, they have been kind of planning on this. And they put the funding in place a year ago. But here we are a year later. They still havent moved forward here and chosen a site for the second campus. A lot of people are saying, all right, lets get the ball rolling. Alex savidge in dublin. Thank you. A hearing is scheduled tonight at the Jefferson Union High School Board meeting after parents say their son was targeted because of his race. It happened in pacifica two weeks ago. A female School Administrator brought their son into an office while investigating a report that coding was passed around the campus. The woman made him remove his shirt while in the office. She put her hand like this and told him to spin around or turn around. So she laid her hands on my son. Education code requires a Second School employee to be present during student searches. It is unclear if the administrator will face discipline. The family says they believe that their son was targeted because he is a Pacific Islander and other families have told similar stories about the school. The district plans to address the issue later tonight in a meeting. The transportation of Governor Brown now advances to the full state senate. The roads are broken. And theyre getting worse and theyre not going to get better unless we get a significant injection of money.

Well, were doing over a Million Dollar campaign and trying to touch all demographics of california voters in every area and every language. Because this affects everyone. Not on this bill.

The agreement commits the two administrators to Work Together to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions and tackle climate change. Today is the deadline forbids for trumps proposed border wall.
