last night at a board meeting, you heard emotional testimony and comments from parents on both sides of debate. the board voted to strongly recommend masks but explicitly did not require them in school facilities like the one behind me. that s reflective of what you re seeing throughout the state where masks are not required, but there are exceptions to this. there s one charter school, a smaller district where the principal made the decision to require masks. even for him, it wasn t an easy decision. listen to what he told me. there s an explosion of cases in the area. the public health officials told us we should be masked. public employee, makes sense we would follow that recommendation. it was that simple, followed the recommendation of health officials? i don t know if it was simple. the decision was, i held off on it as long as i could, recommended it to the board about the week before school started and they supported it for the same reasons i
his own statement saying something, paraphrasing, about don t you believe the california election is rigged, this is all part of the election scam. already there are people sewing distrust in the system. there s no reason to distrust it. scott, here s what i am dying to know. how do californians feel of the cost of all this, hugely expensive. quarter of a billion with a b dollars, that s what the recall is going to cost in a state with huge expensive problems, covid, wildfires, think what the schools are facing, and you re spending a quarter billion on this. how do people of california feel about it? depends which side of the aisle you re on. you ask a democrat, they ll say we would love that money to house the homeless, to address any number of our other problems that we have in the state, it is a big state with a lot of big problems. if you ask someone on the right or more moderate, they would say this is part of our constitution, part of what our state allows us to do as voters,

to recall a governor and we re exercising that right. and the cost of it, whatever it may be, so be it. so again, it depends who you ask, which side of the aisle. it certainly is a tremendous amount of money though. thank you all. and today s vocabulary winner, jacob soboroff. tropical storm nicholas made landfall on the texas coast as a category one hurricane after it strengthened overnight, threatening millions with torrential rain and flash flooding. the storm spawning warnings from texas to louisiana which is still suffering the aftermath of hurricane ida. at this hour, more than 400,000 are without power. straight to vaughn hillyard in houston. what s the scene like there? reporter: let s start in houston. what this storm, tropical storm that hit the houston area is
