Back to california, we are looking at a storm system headed our way. This is rather weak as we head in toward the evening hours. You see a few scattered showers beginning to show up in parts of the north bay even into the Santa Cruz Mountains and then overnight tonight into early tomorrow morning becoming more widespread so i think tomorrow may be a little tricky with the commute.

Reporter its important to note liccardos Campaign Manager filed the complaint. Possible sign that this race is heating up. Do you think this amounts to going negative . After we raised the issue they then went back and corrected their illegal conduct. Thats not going negative. Thats simply urging everyone to play by the rules. Reporter the San Jose Ethics Commission found no deliberate intent of wrongdoing on corteses part, concluding, we see no purpose served by the imposition of a penalty. Cortese has Held Public Office and run multiple election campaigns over the past 22 years. This isnt your first rodeo. What do you say to people who say that you should have known better . You should always know better. Everybody should always know better 100 of the time and in a perfect world, we would have, you know, a world theres never an error, never a mistake.
