Tom fitzgerald live on capitol hill with more. Reporter jim, sarah this Stunning Development came after now an eighth woman stepped forward saying that franken tried to force a kiss on her back in 2006. Now, franken vehemently denied that allegation but that did not stop him from being on the floor here of the United States senate today to resign but al franken did not go quietly today. Before he left, he made sure he took a verbal shot at the president of the United States, a republican Alabama Senate roy moore who both face allegations themselves. I of all people. Aware that there is some irony in the fact that i am leaving while a man who has bragged on tape about his history of Sexual Assault sits in the oval office and man who has repeatedly preyed on young girls campaigns for the senate with the full support of his party. Reporter now franken fought for weeks to hold onto his political career. He has apologized to the accusers. In the end, none of the it was enough to save his political career especially coming just days after veteran democratic lawmaker john conyers was forced to resign because he had sexually harassed a staff and settled a case up here on capitol hill.

The democrats sometimes painfully have stepped forward conyers, longest serving member of congress and said hes got to the Democratic Senators have said the same thing about al franken even though most of what he did was before he even became a senator. So, it seems to me a new standard has been set. I think the focus right now needs to be much more on what can we do to right things for the victims. If somebody here in Congress Left their job because they felt they were being sexually harassed how do we change that . How do we make sure that didnt happen in the future . Reporter now, we should tell you the time line on when al franken actually leaves, thats still a little bit iffy tonight. Franken says he would resign in a couple of weeks but would not specify when.

Today in some Northern Virginia lawmakers are calling on the secretary of transportation to immediately force vdot to stop charging yeah, these tolls really have been controversial. They started earlier this week and at some point prices climbed to more than 30 maybe even 40 during peak time at rush hour. Fox5s Anjali Hemphill live along 66 with what happened today. I think a lot of people want to know is anything going to be done right now, anjali . Reporter well, jim, some lawmakers certainly are trying. Were here on i66 right now heading westbound. Again, the peak time of rush hour and we are moving at a good 55 Miles Per Hour. Hardly any traffic on the road here. The bad news is is drivers going the entire 9mile stretch are going to be driving paying, excuse me, more than 13 in tolls to do that 9mile stretch from d. C. To the beltway and as fox5 has been reporting all week long weve seen prices much higher than this at times and this now has up to 16 Northern Virginia lawmakers calling for these tolls to stop immediately, go back to the ol had on i66 during rush hour. Theyve even written a letter to the secretary of transportation to try and step in. Take a listen to what some of these Lawmakers Said earlier today during a press conference. Tolls are like four dollars. We wouldnt be standing here, okay. None of us knew that the tolls were going to be this high. Nobody foresaw this happening. Frankly this was an issue that we had resolved in 2016. We had a very specific deal with the governor that we were going to make improvements and once those improvements were made particularly inside the beltway we were going to go forward with the tolling and the fact this got out of sequence i think, you know what, maybe we should have known better but the bottom line is here we are. Frankly im not sure i would be satisfied with any toll price. One of the points i want to make is people from my district and several of my colleagues behind me we have people already taking the dulles greenway which is paying a very exorbitant sixdollar each way for one exit and on top that of theyre paying the dulles toll road. Throw on the beltway, these are like extra taxes jo just to get back and forth to work. Some of the solutions are very good but we need the commuter lots, we need commuter buses. One of the poorest areas in Northern Virginia in my district in sterling theres no bus service to get to the metro so if we want people to take the metro we need to provide them bus service now not later. Vdot implemented this new toll officially on monday where now single drivers are allowed on 66 during morning and afternoon noon rush hour but for a price. Vdot says the toll prices go up and down based on how many people are using i66 express lanes and that has kept traffic down and moving. Vdot says up to 20 Miles Per Hour faster in the last few days than compared to this same time last year. During peak times of rush hours drivers complained prices skyrocketed. On Tuesday Morning they were as high as 40 to 9mile stretch of 66 from the beltway to rosslyn and that has really angered a lot of drivers in this area. However, weve also heard today that not everyone is against these tolls. We received a statement that i can read to you in part from the coalition for smarter growth who say the new tolls should stay proposals to eliminate tolls and widen the entire highway are simply not viable. The cost would be in the hundreds of millions of dollars and because of the phenomenon of generated travel an expanded highway like this would fill up in record time and traffic would crawl again. While were sympathetic to the sticker shock drivers and politicians are experiencing this week, the combination of tolling, hov, metro and new transit provides the most effective way to move the people in the most expeditiously as possible to and from work in the corridor. This comprehensive approach should stay in place one more thing guys vdot also just put out their new numbers. They say travel times for the drivers along several minutes this week. The average round trip toll price for the first four days was 14. 50. In the morning drivers were paying a little over 10 bucks, in the afternoon almost four dollars which vdot says is lower than the estimated average toll rate of 17 which was originally discussed back in 2015 when these plans were brought forth. Now, it is important to keep in mind, guys, that drivers who didnt go then tire stretch, that 9mile stretch only maybe for an exit or two, were also factored into those numbers into that data that was released today by vdot. So, thats the latest here on i66. Ill send it back to you guys in the studio. Fbi director Christopher Wray headed to capitol hill defending his bureau four days after the president blasted it on twitter.

Its exciting that we at least are seeing the Seasons Change and weve got something in the news. Now, we are only talking about some light snow possible during the on saturday now but the further south and east you go the better chance youll see some of those flakes on saturday. Cloudy skies colder for friday. Tomorrow itself is cloudy but no snow is in the forecast. There is some possible like i said by the time you wake up on saturday morning. And then more flurries are front which will come through saturday and, night into sunday morning that will reinforce the cold air for sunday which looks very chilly. 45 in annapolis. Low to mid 40s north and west and it is cold enough for snow out there. As you look at these temperatures back towards our north and west 30 binghamton 33 pittsburgh. Mid20s for current temperatures across portions of the midwest. Love showing the radar when you got lake effect snow out there. These streamers are just too cool. I know sue mentioned some of the very impressive snow totals that are coming out of this lake effect event. You can see bands off lake erie and lake ontario. Buffalo seeing substantial snow and central portions of pennsylvania extreme western maryland you guys watching in Cumberland Hagerstown maybe youre seeing a few flurries yourself maybe not but youre close. For your planning forecast tomorrow just clouds, 38 when you wake up. 41 by noon. But we will be cooler tomorrow. High temperatures only getting into the low so, heres what the weekend looks so far. It does seem like that system thats going to ride along the coast late friday night into Early Saturday Morning will back up a little bit throughout saturday morning and that will allow a period of maybe some snow showers to fall. Not stick. Its way too warm. Temperatures will be above freezing but it could be the first snowflakes that we see falling of the season during the day saturday. A Second Opportunity although a pretty low opportunity unless youre along the mountains for a few flurries on saturday night into sunday. They will just be passing. And then actually on sunday it looks pretty sunny so any flurries we have in the morning will quickly dissipate. It will be cold and breezy with temperatures in the 30s. Lets show you fox futurecast. As we go into friday night, Early Saturday Morning. Heres 6 00 p. M. On friday. This is the european model. It gets that precipitation real close to 95 but it stops just short and this is just one solution but the further south and east you go of 95, extreme Southern Maryland over to the Eastern Shore the better chance friday night into saturday morning but this has been the big change today that during the day north and west of some of these what could be a mix of light rain and snow showers. You see that kind of comes to an end as this system pulls away late on saturday evening so that was why weve got some snow showers in the forecast on saturday despite the fact temperatures wont really get to freezing or even below. Cloudy and chilly, 43 tomorrow. Snow showers especially south and east of d. C. During the day saturday late evening clearing, maybe a flurry and then breezy and cold on sunday. The cold keeps coming. Look at late next week. High temperatures well below normal, only in the mid 30s wednesday and thursday. Thats a look at your sevenday forecast. Jim, back over to you.
