A COMPLAINT RAISED OVER A STRIKE AT UC SANTA CRUZ. WHY THE STRIKE WILL CONTINUE DESPITE THE REACTION OF A STATE AGENCY THAT OVERSEES THE UNION.

LOOK AT THAT. WE’RE IN THE GREEN 12 MINUTE RIDE THERE. WESTBOUND 205. WESTBOUND 580 20 MINUTES. AND THEN 99 BETWEEN MODESTO AND MANTECA. WE’RE LOOKING AT A 13 MINUTE RIDE THERE. HIGHWAY 50 ALTA RANCHO CORDOVA, A TEN MINUTE RIDE, INTERSTATE 80 OUT OF ROSEVILLE NINE MINUTES, AND THEN FIVE AND 99. WE’RE LOOKING AT AN 11 MINUTE RIDE OUT OF ELK GROVE. ON THAT STRETCH. BACK TO YOU GUYS. ALL RIGHT. SO WE’RE WORKING ON TAMARA’S MICROPHONE. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 70S FOR TOMORROW. SO JUST FYI. WELL LATER THIS MORNING WE DO EXPECT TO SEE CREWS BACK OUT ON SAN JOAQUIN RIVER SEARCHING FOR A MISSING FISHERMAN. THE SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE SAYS THE MAN WENT INTO THE WATER YESTERDAY MORNING AFTER A BOAT CAPSIZED. DEPUTIES WERE CALLED TO THE SEARCH AREA NEAR LOOP RIVER ROAD OFF RICHARDSON ROAD. TWO MEN WERE ON THE BOAT, ONE OF THEM ABLE TO MAKE IT TO SHORE, BUT THE SECOND MAN IS STILL MISSING. ACCORDING TO DEPUTIES, THE PAIR WAS MAKING ITS WAY BACK TO THE DOCK WHEN THEIR BOAT STARTED SINKING. THE SEARCH WAS PUT ON HOLD YESTERDAY BECAUSE OF DANGEROUS RIVER CONDITIONS THAT CAUSED PROBLEMS FOR SEARCH EQUIPMENT AND DIVERS. RIVERS ARE VERY UNPREDICTABLE. NOT ONLY THE DELTA BUT ALSO THE MAKAMI RIVER AND ANY RIVER IN THIS IN THIS COUNTY DON’T EVER UNDERESTIMATE THE RIVER. IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW STRONG OF A SWIMMER YOU THINK YOU ARE, THE RIVER IS ALWAYS GOING TO WIN. CREWS DID LOCATE THE BOAT, BUT THEY COULDN’T RETRIEVE IT BECAUSE OF THE RIVER CONDITIONS. SEARCH TEAMS DO PLAN TO CONTINUE LOOKING FOR THAT MISSING MAN TODAY. A RECENT INCIDENTS ARE SERVING AS A REMINDER TO KEEP WATER SAFETY IN MIND. IF YOU DO PLAN TO BE OUT, ESPECIALLY OVER THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND. FOR THOSE WHO WILL VOTE BY LAW, YOU DO HAVE TO HAVE A LIFE JACKET FOR EVERY PERSON ON BOARD, NO MATTER THE AGE. IF YOU WILL BE THE ONE OPERATING A BOAT, PLEASE DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE. IT IS ALSO RECOMMENDED TO HAVE A LIFE JACKET FOR ANY ACTIVITY THAT INVOLVES YOU. ACTUALLY BEING IN THE WATER. THERE ARE SEVERAL LOCATIONS WHERE YOU CAN PICK UP A FREE LIFE JACKET OR BORROW ONE ALONG THE AMERICAN RIVER. FAMILIES CAN ALSO PICK UP FREE LIFE JACKETS AT FOLSOM FIRE STATION NUMBER 35. AS WE HEAD INTO THE MEMORIAL DAY HOLIDAY WEEKEND, TRAVEL IS PICKING UP AND TODAY WE WILL SEE THE CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL INCREASE ITS EFFORTS TO KEEP THE ROADWAYS SAFE. CHP MAXIMUM ENFORCEMENT PERIOD BEGINS THIS EVENING. IT STARTS AT 6:00 AND CONTINUES THROUGH MEMORIAL DAY. DURING THE SAME PERIOD LAST YEAR, CHP MADE 1100 ARRESTS FOR DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE, AND THAT’S AN AVERAGE OF AN ARREST EVERY FOUR MINUTES. TAKING A LIVE LOOK NOW OVER THE STATE CAPITOL BUILDING AND TODAY, LAWMAKERS WILL DECIDE WHETHER HUNDREDS OF BILLS SHOULD MOVE FORWARD. THEY FACE A DEADLINE KNOWN AS THE HOUSE OF ORIGIN, WHICH MARKS THE HALFWAY POINT OF THE LAWMAKING PROCESS. HERE ARE SOME OF THE BILLS SET TO BE DISCUSSED TODAY. SB 896 WANTS TO STUDY HOW STATE AGENCIES CAN USE AI TO IMPROVE THEIR SERVICE. IT WOULD ALSO REQUIRE THEM TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW WHEN THEY ARE INTERACTING WITH AI. WHEN GOING THROUGH A STATE AGENCY OR DEPARTMENT, SB 1327 WOULD TAX BIG TECH COMPANIES TO CREATE A FUND FOR LOCAL NEWSROOMS ACROSS CALIFORNIA, AND AN ASSEMBLY MEASURE WOULD AMEND THE CONSTITUTION TO ESTABLISH A FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHT TO HOUSING. STAY UPDATED WITH THE KCRA THREE APP TO HEAR MORE ON THOSE BILLS LATER TODAY. CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERAL ROB BONTA IS SHOWING SUPPORT FOR A LAWSUIT TARGETING LIVE NATION AND TICKETMASTER TO END THEIR ANTI COMPETITIVE CONDUCT STOP FORCING CONCERT VENUES TO USE TICKETMASTER AND ALLOW THEM TO CHOOSE THE TICKETING VENDOR THAT THEY WANT. STOP FORCING ARTISTS TO USE LIVE NATION PROMOTION SERVICES AND ALLOW THEM TO USE WHATEVER PROMOTION SERVICE THAT THEY WANT. BONTA IS PART OF A DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ANTITRUST LAWSUIT THAT WAS FILED YESTERDAY. THE DOJ CLAIMS LIVE NATION CONTROLS 80% OF TICKETING AT MAJOR VENUES, BUT BONTA SAYS WE MIGHT NOT SEE RESULTS FROM THIS LAWSUIT ANYTIME SOON. WE’RE, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST TWO YEARS OR MORE AWAY FROM A FINAL RESOLUTION. OF COURSE, THERE COULD BE A SETTLEMENT AT ANY TIME. UM, BUT WE’RE AT THE BEGINNING STAGES RIGHT NOW. WE’VE THE THE SUIT CALLS FOR TICKETMASTER TO BE SPUN OFF AS AN INDEPENDENT COMPANY FROM LIVE NATION. LIVE NATION, MEANWHILE, HAS CALLED THE ALLEGATIONS ABSURD. AND. WELL, TURNING TO OUR COMMITMENT COVERAGE NOW AND THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION CAMPAIGN CONVERGE, BOTH CANDIDATES MAKE AN EFFORT TO COURT MINORITY VOTERS. KCRA 3’S AMY LU JOINS US LIVE FROM WASHINGTON BUREAU THIS MORNING. AND, AMY, GOOD MORNING. HOW ARE THEY EACH APPEALING TO THESE COMMUNITIES? TAHOE BIDEN RELEASED NEW ADS TARGETING TRUMP’S RECORD ON RACE, WHILE THE FORMER PRESIDENT HIMSELF RALLIED IN A DIVERSE PART OF NEW YORK CITY. THE LOVE FEST. WE LOVE YOU AN ATTEMPT TO WOO MINORITY VOTERS. FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IN THE CITY’S SOUTH BRONX ON THURSDAY. THESE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING INTO OUR COUNTRY RAILED ON THE INFLUX OF MIGRANTS IN THE HEAVILY BLUE STATE. THE BIGGEST IMPACT AND THE BIGGEST NEGATIVE IMPACT IS AGAINST OUR BLACK POPULATION AND OUR HISPANIC POPULATION WHO ARE LOSING THEIR JOBS, LOSING THEIR HOUSING, LOSING EVERYTHING THEY CAN LOSE, DISRESPECTING BLACK FOLK IS NOTHING NEW. WHILE IN A NEW TV, WHAT DO YOU THINK HE’D BE SAYING IF IT HAD BEEN BLACK FOLKS WHO ATTACKED THE CAPITOL AND RADIO AD. THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN REMINDED BLACK VOTERS WHAT COULD BE AT STAKE COME NOVEMBER. IT’S WHY TRUMP STOOD WITH VIOLENT WHITE SUPREMACISTS, BOTH CANDIDATES TRYING TO MAKE INROADS IN PLACES THEY TRADITIONALLY DON’T DO WELL AND MAKE IT HARDER FOR THE OTHER TO WIN VOTES AND MAKE PEOPLE COMPETE IN STATES THAT THEY DON’T NEED, SO THAT THEY LIMIT THE RESOURCES THAT CAN BE USED IN OTHER STATES. AND POLLS SUGGEST THAT MORE AND MORE YOUNG BLACK AND HISPANIC VOTERS ARE NOW LEANING TOWARDS TRUMP SHRINKING BIDEN’S LEAD WHEN IT COMES TO MINORITY VOTERS REPORTING LIVE FROM WASHINGTON THIS MORNING.
