nevada's constitution. >> issue we're having is that the vote tally was not two-thirds majority for revenue peace that this funding mechanism that they structured under this bill assumes deaths from the county without that's that revenue peace involved, that the law itself, you know, doesn't mention certain populations and the county and the language is very sloppy written when it comes to stop iran, rather when it comes to assuming that that's since the initial filing, the legislature and the las vegas stadium authority have also been named in the suit. >> and while a's owner john fisher, he's the one to benefit from the public funds and sb one. the yeas are not named in the suit. but this week the a's filed a motion with the court to intervene in the case saying the athletics and affiliates have a substantial interest in sb one and will be affected if sb one is found unconstitutional without intervention, the athletics ability to protect its interests. we'll be impaired strong. public schools will be opposing their intervention. >> we think there are

interests are well represented by the other defendants, many of whom were basically unregistered lobbyist for them during session. so those folks want this stadium just as much as they do a separate filing by as president dave kaval confirms financing and a development agreement for the new stadium had not been finalized. but the process is underway. >> it's unclear when the court will rule on the a's participation in this lawsuit. dan kerman kron, 4 news. >> protesters rallied at the dublin women's prison on friday, angry that some 600 prisoners are set to be transferred to other facilities. the news comes after officials said the prison would be close. >> they're terrified the public. colleen, like it each day thinking i'm going to be transferred today. i don't know that's going to have contact with the people. i love.

>> sam abuelsamid with guidehouse insights as the problem is not simple. drivers don't have a whole lot of time to respond. >> in and in this case, you know where it could come as a complete surprise. you know, all of a sudden you press press to put down to tolerate and then you lift off and the car study at the truck is still accelerating. you might have no idea why a full senate says the accelerator issue is a problem of poor engineering and poor manufacturing at tesla. but he does not see the first recall of cybertrucks having much of a stain on the company's reputation. >> this driver would agree. my spirits been amazing. i love this thing. the recall affects all 2024 cybertrucks made between november 13th and april 4th. tesla is also delaying deliveries of new trucks reporting in the newsroom. i'm rob nesbitt kron. 4 news. >> all right. a little flavor of spring coming your way next. couple of days. we're going to be venturing into some of the lower 80's. we got the morning fog. no kidding. right here. and some inland clouds, too. but that will depart as we go to the afternoon check out your 4

quick? 70 still some snow left over. >> yeah. but that's going to be challenge over the next few days. they see war money warming happening up there as well as on the home front. here's a look at the forecast next few days into the upper 60's. we go change happening on tuesday. hint, however, if you're headed up that direction. whether its tahoe or you're somebody, no problems in terms of any weather along your way now. little package of cloud cover you see going on here. that's what everybody is getting. a loft that will clear out next few hours. but it's at the surface more that marine layer kind of thing. that's going to be a problem along the coast a bit because the air above us is drier. that's a plus. but its warmer it's hard getting that buoyancy to kind of get the mixing process going on. futurecast. ford's noting some of that morning cloud cover aloft. that clears out real quickly. and later going today with daytime heating, we actually see the flare up today tomorrow, a little bit some afternoon clouds you can see going on there. maybe a stray shower or 2. that looks like to be around your somebody or maybe quite national park. no major deal

with all of that. it's somewhat of a typical pattern we sometimes see in the summer months. now let's get to long-range forecast here. interesting stop it. there. interesting rotation here, yellow without any bite to it, it will bring down our temperatures for sure. some scattered clouds and all but not much moisture which to work with. now in the summer months. we love this because it's the heat spike breaker for u.s. senate will do that now and it's going bring those temperatures way back to the 60's, even well inland. another reinforcing way promises to bring maybe some scattered showers will call it for anywhere from late thursday on where to early saturday, potentially with that, looks ok next weekend, although they'll be induction of some cloud cover kind of coming and going through this. but cooler temperatures that were to get this weekend. so for today, the strikes, 66 san francisco at the coast. little cooler, lower 60's. don't forget that onshore wind is going to be with us. so definitely a windbreaker. 68 for burlingame, 70 foster city, redwood city. 73 in the south bay, upper 70's working here east bay shoreline, lower

70's, slightly warmer happening inland. that's the pattern we're getting used to now, as we see the decoupling happening, tri valley, you can expect mid to upper 70's at work here. walnut creek at 77. 79 conquered 70 going on for berkeley. billy, what 70 79 fairfield, 77, napa and 81 going on for santa rosa, your seven-day forecast. here's the drop happening on tuesday with the cloud cover that's going to be our low off our coast. might see some showers working here anytime from thursday through friday. a little bit, but much cooler temperatures in the 60's. stephen. all right, dave, thank you. >> earth day is just around the corner a day to reflect on the beauty of our planet and how we can better care for it. it's san francisco, the calorie counting. sciences is working on an exciting project that involves protecting local butterflies and the ecosystem. joining us live now to share more is lead researcher deer elk up on. good morning to you. good morning. thank you for having me here. it's real

honor to represent all the people in institutions that made this possible. and it's we're so glad to have you here to talk about this really interesting project that's working, sir. >> protect and protect the local environment and also we're going to be promoting a local species. if you want to describe a little bit more concerned over 80 years ago, >> species known name desserts. these blue went extinct and it's kind of an ignominious fate to have the first insect that we know of in north america go extinct in our so that was in the presidio. and the reason why went extinct is because we basically filled in all the doings between laker said in golden with houses and everything, including the presidio military so 80 years later, we're finding a butterfly. we're using our collections to find a local butterfly could stand in the shoes of the 16th. better find in the 60's blue. >> got it. okay. basically what is it about this different species that makes that made your team feel like this is going to be a good

stand-in for the xerces sure. so we started with a >> being called by community to look at the collection, which has millions of specimens, including some of the last he's ever seen from 1941. and we basically started by comparing genetically we sequenced the genome of the closest related species, the silvery blue and look for local populations. that might be a good ecological, sarah, good. that's what they're called. and then we with that really under graduate intern who lived in monterey. all gambhir. she i build a mitch find out that the xerxes really has compatible populations that love cold foggy evenings. yeah. and sort of sunny habitats in the day with sandy dunes in a special plan called deer looked at that model results. we found populations in the field that match desert. he's ecological niche. so again, the name of

the butterfly that is becoming the surrogate is the silvery blue butterfly, which we have right here my hand, wonderful says silvery the silvery why is it so important that introduce the silvery blue? >> to this particular ecosystem in san francisco in the presidio. so the presidio trust in the national park system have been regenerating the dunes in the presidio for over 30 years of work. so this is sort of like the book birthday candle on the top of that great cake of and so adding back the silvery blue, he's going to basically restore that ecological niche. more importantly, the xerxes is sort of the poster child for insect or invertebrate conservation. and the zurich see society was formed basically to regenerate places like san francisco to provide habitat for species that have been lost or that state, which is called extra patients. and what is the hope? because you

did release a number of the insects into the presidio recently just over a week ago. >> really cool sight. we're playing some video of that just a moment ago. but what is the hope as the insects repopulate the area there? well, i mean, we've got 2 homes. one is that we get the blue butterfly flying back that we won't know for a year and will probably continue releases so far found aches being late on their host plant. well, as well the butterfly selected a little place about 30 meters away from where we released that they said i love this. so they're speaking to us. >> so it takes a whole year to go through from a to a don't. so next spring will be out there looking to see if those little tiny a's. hatch into larvae and made it all the way through pain and flying next it's incredible. and >> you know, you've this project is at least 4 years old, right? i think the during the commercial you were telling me that's how long you've been working on it. >> any unexpected discoveries about the insect or about the

presidio. >> during your research. >> certainly the most amazing thing is that the butterflies by moving into their perfect little habitat sort of give us a lens on the way they want to see the so on the economy of sciences and many partners have a project called a re-imagining san francisco. and now one of those partners as this little butterfly telling us, hey, this is what i like to see a few oak trees to get me out of the wind. some of this deer. we did some other seen the plans with good flowers that i can feed on. so it's super exciting to have a new partner in this project and also super important for conservation in general to be able to to sort of repopulate areas that have had to sort of help. >> people who are out in the presidio in san francisco, they're able to see the butterflies now. >> they if they're lucky and their skill, they might be able to take a the butterflies are either going to find a local spot like i mentioned, or they're going to keep fighting until we find a better spot. we have project

on i naturalist. so if you find a better find, take a picture. we can identify it for you and it will be aggregated with all the other observations. so you can see that. online. double. >> and in our last about 15 seconds here, give a message for people this earth day, this upcoming earth ensure. i think this project is all about collaboration and regeneration. and so get out. look for unity in nature and work with your local ngo's and other organizations. >> to help. butterflies and other insects, habitat will be really great. >> all right. cup on with cal academy of sciences in san francisco. thank you so much for your work on this. ok, you're welcome. thank you. all

central plains, but meanwhile, for us, this little package of some cloud cover here. once we take care of that, it's the clouds of the coast, the fog clouds and all of that. that's going to be slow to clear because the air above us a bit on the warm side, we've got mostly 50's the east bay upper 50's that that antioch at 61. 51. meanwhile, for santa rosa already warming up there. well, inland, this is what the model see in terms of that cloud cover moves on through, just deny blank afternoon. heating may have a little shower up in the mountains potentially, but that's almost like the singsong summertime pattern. we get leftover moisture. you get with the up sloping sometimes you're going afternoon, little shower. here's the pop of the winds that's most pronounce along the coast and a little bit there along the carquinez strait. it's not as big tomorrow because the placement the high will be in a better location. so we'll be driven more by the local winds. not so much sum up the cleats today morning clouds breezy at the coast, lower 60's there. happening inland, potentially if don't get there today, you probably will tomorrow. touch warmer early next week. it's

the early part of the week. that's kind of warming up nicely. then a big correction come wednesday again for today. we got 66 san francisco, 71 for oakland. 77 san jose. check out your high temperatures for today. we got an 80 going on there for antioch, a lot of upper 70's cover the real estate inland with 81. also for santa rosa warming that up a bit more for tomorrow. stephanie. all right, dave, thank you. >> kyle mills stain is a viral sensation with 800,000 social media fans. she's not only an expert on cars. she's also passionate about plus size fashion, radical body acceptance and life and love. just wrote a new book and joins us live now to tell us more about a good morning to you. >> thank you so much for having me. good morning. good morning. well, first of all, congratulations on all of your success as well as the new book. >> can you walk us through what inspired you to write it? >> absolutely. you know, i've been working on helping people better understand cars for

many years now over a decade at this point. and i found that social media blog post lacked the nuance and easy availability that a book would add to some his life. so i wanted to put everything that i've talked to media in classes in blog posts and so much more in packaging did to easy to understand easy to reference guide the you can read whenever you have a question whenever you're at the shop and you're not sure what they're talking about or whenever it's this next step in your automotive lifecycle like need to go buy a car or sell your vehicle, find a new mechanic, or get insurance. >> then testing and kaja. tell us a bit the inspiration behind the name of the book as well. >> absolutely. so mechanic shop comes guide to car ownership. references me and my handle is mechanic. shop that's the blog back started many years ago. so when we came up with the book title and went through several different variations mechanic,

shop guide to car ownership, just sort of made sense because it's my guide. in first percent has tons of data and tons of stories from my own experience but i also reference many, many stories from other people who have had difficult pavks appearances are positive car experiences to help. people really understand and navigate situations that they're in automotive industry. and since you are, of and experts on all things related to this would love to ask you some questions about this specifically. >> so maybe, first of all, what are some resources that you recommend people turn to if they are looking for a great deal on a car. >> so when it comes to looking for a vehicle before you start thinking about what kind of deals are going to get on a vehicle, you need to really start thinking about how much money you have to spend and what the very best vehicle that's going to fit. your specific needs are a lot of times people focus what exactly the brand of the car is, model the cars are, what color it is. you know, what

can they buy with their money? but you need to think about what do you need? because ultimately spending the money on the perfect car, it's going to be the best money. well spent as opposed spending money on whatever's out there at that price point to the more research you can do up front, the more. critical thinking you can do about your life and your position where you're going to be in 3 to 5 the better off you're going to be when it comes to purchasing a vehicle. and consumer reports is excellent resource for helping do that research and compare vehicle side by side, especially in places like the bay area where you may not have access to a lot of parking at the look at things like the length of a and safety that and so much more. >> yeah, especially important for those of us were trying to find parking in francisco where is so limited, you know, kind of more and more people are also looking into electric cars. so what are some key things to consider on that? >> i dedicated an entire

chapter in my book, collector vehicles and and the reason i did that is because there's so many misconceptions. there's so many out there about what electric cars are. what are they going to happen? you know, if you're going to run out of juice while you're driving or anything like that, right? so when it comes to electric vehicles, i think people think first, what? >> how it went to fit into their lives. so, for example, outside of san francisco bay area, you really need to consider whether you are going to have a place where you can regularly charger vehicle because there there is it just isn't infrastructure for that. and in most places in the united states, that means you have to own your own home so that you can install charger and charge your vehicle overnight. the other thing is people think that electric cars are just pass laws that there are ton of different electric vehicle models out there from smart, small to big luxury and sort of in between and every year we're getting new options that hopefully lower price points that are available and accessible to people of different income points. okay.

>> switching to another topic real quickly here. let's talk a little bit about maintenance, right? so when that light goes off in your car, telling you to take it in to have somebody check, check it out. is that the best time to get your car checked out for maintenance and what are some questions we should be asking our mechanics. >> so the light that comes on your vehicle is typically not very smart light. doesn't take into consideration a lot of different factors. so my best suggestion for how to know when it's time to do a vehicle maintenance is to take a look in your owner's manual and see what the intervals are required specifically,for most cases, when people are talking about maintenance, they're talking about will changes. look in your owner's manual. it will tell you how often maintenance needs to be done on your view on that will change needs to be changed and then you can do one of 2 things you can sort of put calendar reminder in your calendar if you don't do a lot of driving and you need to replace it based time versus mileage or on the flip side, if you have to replace your well based on mileage, my

favorite suggestion is to reset your trip meter. so you have tripped a trip be in your odometer and you can reset when you get well and that will track how many miles since your last see, you know, when the next time you need to go in. remember, your owner's manual is your guide to preventive maintenance maintenance that's going to prove that problems with your vehicle in the long run maintenance is different from repairs that you're doing fix something that has already broken or has already become a problem. >> some really helpful hacks. they're really appreciate that. i just to wrap things up here. would love to say here bit about your upcoming book tour. you are making a stop in the bay area. >> i am. i'm already in the middle of my book tour. my book tour is different from most that you've ever experienced instead of going to book stores and libraries. i am crisscrossing the country in going to women clearing plc, own mechanic shops across the united states. i've already 6 shops deep and i'm going to a total of 16

different repair shops, including right here in the bay area in santa clara at euro clinic, which is going to be on april 24th at 06:00pm. i'm going to europe clinic, which is this incredible mechanic shop that specializes repairing european vehicles and does all kinds of really great things. they're members of the rainbow chamber of commerce and they're owned by a husband and wife team. >> all right. well, i'm sure, butnthe fans will be lining up to see you in person and get their book signed as well. a coyote mills stand. the author of mechanic shop fans guide to car ownership. an complicating cars for all of us. thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> thank you for having me. thank you. we'll be right back.

>> san francisco state assembly member matt member. matt haney's pushing to make a drug that could help prevent fatal drug overdoses. experts say methadone reduces the likelihood of dying by more than 50%. haney says it's time for california to change its so called outdated loss. >> these are laws that were designed decades ago. it was pretty fentanyl. and it's it's not only getting people to not enroll in this life saving treatments, but the way that you access that tree that actually requires you line up every day in the morning. there's methadone clinic in downtown san francisco. and the other problrm with that is that tracks drug dealers open air drug dealing actually surrounding these methadone clinic says people are preyed

on when they try to get on so we're going to change that and actually make california a place where it's easier to get on treatment. we have to make easier to get treatment and it is to get these deadly drugs like fences. >> the bill passes it would allow patients to pick up several doses of the medicine instead of lining up for every day. and then next story here, francisco mayor london breed says she is working to keep macy's in union square. in a letter she wrote to macy ceo, she offered a partnership between macy's and san francisco. it would include tax incentives. the mayor's office also telling kron 4 the mayor spoke with macy ceo last week before she left for china. they say the conversations about the future of the site are ongoing. that location did announce it would close in 2026. happening today. board officials host an official retirement ceremony for its legacy. trains. the ceremony begins at one in the afternoon at oaklands macarthur station. after that,

the case saying the athletics and affiliates have a substantial interest in sb one and will be affected if sb one is found unconstitutional without intervention, the athletics ability to protect its interests. we'll be impaired strong. public schools will be opposing their by the other defendants, many of whom were basically unregistered lobbyist for them during session. so those folks want this stadium just as much as they do a separate filing by as president dave kaval confirms financing and a development agreement for the new stadium had not been finalized. but the process is underway. >> it's unclear when the court will rule on the a's participation in this lawsuit. dan kerman kron, 4 news. >> protesters rallied at the dublin women's prison on friday, angry that some 600

find several videos of owners showing the problem. >> see how tight we know in the ratings. it took him 2 years of being on a waitlist. but david la placa finally got his new cybertruck 2 weeks ago. new thing versus the old tesla's. he loves how it drives all the advances in technology, but he doesn't love how eye-catching it can gets maybe a little too much attention. >> people always i literally have people want to pull up and parking lots. clapping here. >> cybertrucks are also getting the attention of the national highway traffic safety administration. nearly 4,000 cybertrucks likely all on the road today are being recalled because of a faulty accelerator pedal supposedly been some instances is loose and then it can kind of get stuck in. there is what hurt. it hasn't happened to la placa. but many drivers like jose martinez had posted on tiktok slip up showing how the cover of their accelerator can slide forward and get stuck in that rim of the interior. this morning, i went down to the >> tesla dealership marion talking about it. and said

they're going to fixing it by putting basically a vote on solar panel. so that's what the fix might be simple. but given the fact that cybertrucks are made to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than 30 seconds. >> sam abuelsamid with guidehouse insights as the problem is not simple. drivers don't have a whole lot of time to respond. >> in and in this case, you know where it could come as a complete surprise. you know, all of a sudden you press press the foot down. alright. and then you lift off and the car study at the truck is still accelerating. you might have no idea why a full senate says the accelerator issue is a problem of poor engineering and poor manufacturing at tesla. but he does not see the first recall of cybertrucks having much of a stain on the company's reputation. >> this driver would agree. my spirits been amazing. i love this thing. the recall affects all 2024 cybertrucks made between november 13th and april 4th. tesla is also delaying deliveries of new trucks reporting in the newsroom. i'm rob nesbitt

>> that fog, by the way, is going take a while to kind of clear out at the coast, particularly that lower level moisture is just hard to mix because the air above us, although dry is also warm. so it doesn't get a lot of buoyancy. the mix. this is just some of national park, some leftover snow. you can see some shredded stratus in place through daytime heating may be a little sprinkle in parts of the mountains, but next couple of days, no trouble from weather. upper 60's. a little flavor of spring up there. although the snow still left over don't too much melting now. so although temperatures on the home front get into the route middle 80's or so before we back track again, thank goodness, because we want to preserve some of that snow up there for later. there's that package of cloud cover we're talking about this morning. it's really kind of marched on out. we're going mostly sunny, except along the coastal areas where there's some problem spots here. daytime heating might see the flare up of a few little stray showers. you see there. here's the morning layer for tomorrow morning. and again, an afternoon shower potentially that will be very isolated. that's just again, day due to daytime heating. but the bigger picture is more

interesting. we get to the middle of the week and stop. yeah, i that low right there. not much with it. it's going to break the back of the little he pump that we have here on the summer months. we love these things it's odd to say a low-pressure system dropping in town and, you know, going to be rain. well, we get that a lot of times in the winter or summer rather in and does a nice job kind of clearing out our atmosphere cooling us down. well, it's a little early and we'll get some scattered clouds with this, too. but as far as anything else besides that, we probably won't get anything from that system. but successive ones by friday might get some scattered showers, but not a lot, though. so we're starting to to the dry season moving in that direction into the weekend. looks like we stay dry, but they'll be some scattered clouds to make note of still. so it's going to feel a little different toward the latter portion of the week. 66 san francisco keeping in mind, we'll have some clouds and also some winds at work here at the coast, lower 60's. so bit chilly. 68 going on for burlingame to the south, 70 foster city. 74 palo alto in the south bay. let's
