Few weeks. Dr. Market ali says it will allow Contact Tracy to be used more broadly and allow it to continue what is current level. It remains the potential for further dimming and certain parts of the state if it indicates it is needed. This is all to avoid the ongoing increases in half elevation, case Positivity Rate and deaths that we have seen over the last many weeks. He also said the state is preparing to put out what he described as a playbook to help factories and businesses to help reduce transmission. Marin county is among the 30 counties on the states watchlist because of cases and hospitalizations. And now marin is stepping up enforcement of its health orders. Tom, there will be education and warnings first. First, but dont wait too long because there can also be enforcement. Device there best, they publish sanctions saying it that education simply isnt enough to stop the spread of this deadly virus. We are at risk of this getting even more outof control. Matt willis says and in a county where the car was most pleasant flattened, we are seeing dramatic increases in cases across the region and in marin county. From the getgo, a new Agency Task Force will work to ensure equal warnings and enforcement for each member of marins white ethnic social and economic diversity. Beyond police enforcement, the ordinance passed provides authority to tell city and nonpersonnel to equip them with new Civil Penalties. This will supplement in a big way existing enforcement methods including misdemeanor actions where Civil Penalties do not deter violations. Most efforts will focus on businesses and canned result in a 50 10,000 type fine depending on severity or repeated violations. The goal is to give them seven days to amend their practices, then if they do not change the practices they will be fined. There is a reporting system. Reporter each moran jurisdiction has the authority to enforce what they see as the greatest risks to Public Health in their own communities. This includes, but is not limited to, Wearing Masks with fines after warnings ranging from 25 to 500. The fact is is that we have learned that if we stay six feet apart and cover our faces, just those things will and almost all the active transmission we are seeing. Where that mask or pay that cash. Reporter marin supervisors also voted 100,000,000. 65, thats 100 1,000,000. 652 increase testing efforts. It will go a long way to doing both of those things. I want to get back to the fines. You know how long the warning phase will last before marin countys darts issuing those fines . We know that right now, sworn officers within the county have the affiliate authority to issue them right away but the idea is to educate first and then fine. So that could come within a few days. In other jurisdictions, especially where you have non sworn officers, they have to create the rules and of those rules should be created within a week or two weeks. Again, warnings will be given. But three weeks from now, you can pretty much bet that if you are not according to the rules, you are very likely to be fined and that is something that is probably going to be very important for saving lives. All right. Thank you tom. We have a comprehensive and up todate list of what is open and what is closed county by county here in the bay area.

We are in the process of developing a strategy that is going to be very, very powerful. We develop as we go along. Some areas are doing very well, others are doing less well.

Her property was tact, so when even shot off fireworks. Henry lee is joining us now with more on exactly what happened. Henry . Alex, the mayors house has long been the site of protests but this appears to be the first time her house has been vandalized. Wake up, libby, blood on your hands. Defund opd. These were just some of the messages. Protesters shot paintballs and covered her property in graffiti. They even shot off fireworks. The mayors spokesman said an attack at the home of a publicly elected official does not of advanced democracy. In a statement he added, this attack designed to intimidate the mayor and strike fear into her family will not stop her for advocating for the policies he believes are in the best interest of her hometown. Police tell me they are looking for Video Surveillance and witnesses. This is not a thing would have ever encouraged. Reporter brooks says she doesnt know what happened overnight but understands why some are frustrated with the mayor. She repeatedly sits on the other end of the fence from the people and her responses to this crisis in the city of oakland is absolutely tone deaf.

He signed a memorandum today that would prevent them from being counted in redrying of voting districts. A law professor at uc hastings. Dole, thank you for being here. The administration is looking to restrict them from the census. Is it constitutional . There are a few things in the constitution that are as clear as the requirement that you must count the whole number of all persons living in a state in the census. It is right there in the explicit language of the 14th amendment. So it doesnt look like it is constitutional on its face. His argument in his executive order is that congress has delegated to him a certain amount of discretion in deciding what the numbers look like after the Congress Department adds everybody up. But that doesnt mean that the president can exclude people because the president thinks they shouldnt be included. And moreover, there isnt actually a mechanism by which the president can determine who is an undocumented alien. We dont count that in the census. So the only thing the president could do is sort of make up numbers and try to subtract them from the whole numbers of People Living in the state which of course would not be constitutional. That was something i was going to ask because as of now, there is no Citizenship Question on the census. So how would the administration be able to determine that . The president says in the executive order that he has estimates of the numbers of undocumented aliens in states and he would use that number. So he would subtract i believe, 2. 2 million potentially undocumented aliens from the state of californias census. How he would decide where they lived in the state or what congressional district, where they would or would not have more or less voters, who knows. This is just nonsense on stilts. The president cant do it. If he tries to do it, the courts will certainly stop him from doing it. So professor, lets talk a little bit about the let the Trump Administration is arguing here. They say we should not give congressional representation to someone who is in the country illegally just as we dont for lets say, to arrest or other people visiting the country. That is true. We dont stop people in the street and count them one at a time for the census. We count people by going to their places of residence. So in principle, everybody who is a residence in the state should be counted in the census. The president is saying that people who he thinks art undocumented aliens would not be counted as residents but of course they are residents. They pay taxes, they have jobs here, they pay rent, they own homes, there is no reason to exclude those people from who is counted as a resident. Theres never been any effort made to try to exclude aliens from the account for purposes of the census. And it is really important to understand, as well, that aliens need to be counted because they are also represented in congress whether they are documented or undocumented aliens. They still have representation and it is also important to determine how much money should be allocated to a particular state for various federalaid programs. So the census is important for aliens and nonaliens alike. My final question, talk about why you believe the Trump Administration might be trying to pursue this, especially when it comes, and it seems as though the focus is on redrawing congressional districts. I mean, voting districts. There is something to be said about that. Right. So i suppose, in the ideal world for mr. Trump, he would like to be able to take away congressional seats from those states, like california, that he sees as not in his camp. But of course, other states are in his state like texas who also have a large number of undocumented aliens. So this exercise indiscretion by the president , it is as if we are telling him he can do side for himself how many congressional seats each state can have which is absurd. He could also be trying to discourage aliens from filling out the census forms. And frankly, it is against the interest of aliens to not fill out the census forms. No one is going to knock on your door and try to deport you because you filled out the census form. The census form protects aliens by ensuring that they have adequate representation in congress. All right, thank you so much. As we mentioned, this latest attempt by the Trump Administration is expected to face some swift legal action. So we will be following that challenge which im sure, if it already hasnt happened, it is coming. Professor, thank you. In the area of weather, no major heat this week. I cooler weather pattern is here to stay. He probably noticed that cooler wind setting up. We are not talking about any excessive heat inland, only the low to mid 80s. San jose right now 76, oakland 70 and in the north bay, a bunch of 70s in novato, santa rosa and napa. Just to the north of the bay area as you can see, those showers are kind of popping up here.

Sfo, you can see about 24 miles an hour, wins at about nine miles an hour in san jose. We can still see lingering clouds near the coast. The marine layer will deepen a bit over the next 24 hours and that will lead to a little bit of a cool down as we head into your wednesday. As far as overnight lows we are going to bring those clouds back into the picture first thing tomorrow morning near the coast and then portions of the bay. Thats a 50 to start out your wednesday morning and a few spots coming around 60 degrees. Heres the plan. The expected cloud cover tomorrow morning, clouds were clear back to near the coastlines. The beaches havent warmed up too much lately and i will be the case for tomorrow. Just below 60s for your wednesday afternoon. Hotspot actually pleasant in the low to mid 80s by about 3 00 or 4 00.
