$75 million take, which is a significant hole in our budget and prevents us from doing a lot of very needed local programs. >> if voters approve proposition 22, it would be a constitutional amendment that would change the way sacramento manages public money. cities say reform is long overdue but some temperature groups warn it would take away the flexibility lawmakers need when money is tight. >> when it comes to setting priorities, education should come before redevelopment. >> proposition 22 would not generate new money or create any new debt but it would have a big impact on both state and local budgets. in san jose, karina rusk, abc 7 news. >> weather now, feeling like fall. >> yeah, after our warm week. definitely cooling down this morning with plenty of clouds out there. from our roof camera, temperatures 50s downtown san francisco. we're looking at the sunshine today but a few raindrops wanna

engineers was really pummeled in the "katrina" and new orleans situation. they want to cover their backside, fine, okay. but it doesn't make sense here in california. >> in 2005 after hurricane "katrina" there were levee failures. engineers determined the river banks that compromised the levy. there are 100 miles of levee that would be impacted including the returning and nap that rivers and coyote creek in the south bay. removing the vegetation will destroy the habitat and threaten fish and engangered species. >> the stated purpose is increase protection. however we don't necessarily agree with that. there are studies that show that vegetation and especially in california, actually improve the safety of the levees. and we cut trees from here down to the lookout at the end. >> wildcat creek in north ridge is a prime example how the clear

cutting would affect the local environment. in july county crews mistakenly cleared 25 trees from the banks of the creek. another thousand would be removed if the county complies with the federal man days. >> we call on our army corps of engineers to change its policy. >> a spokesman for the army corps said the agency is in the matt of a two-year study to the impact. the governor will consider a limited number of variances or exceptions to this new policy. laura anthony, abc 7 news. >> feeling like fall? >> here in san francisco it's chilly now. >> and still have 40s in a couple areas. those longer nights allowing for definitely a cooler start to the day. outside from emeryville right now, temperatures are in the 50s there. and we are looking at a day today which will be much cooler,

feet. so it's still shallow but with the layered clouds today and that weaker sun angle, we will see a partly cloudy sky and that low developing offshore. by later on today, this continues to slide to the south and east. in fact as we cloud up tomorrowover night tonight and into tomorrow, we could see mist and drizzle along our coast. but the significant presip in terms of measurable rain will be well south of the area. in the sierra nevada it could translate to snow, some really rain will be left still with cooler temperatures. so today's highs ranging from the mid and upper 70s ins south bay. maybe 80 los gatos, 76 sunnyvale. here's where we have a lot of cloud cover. yesterday you were 67, half moon bay. today 61 for pumpkin festival. sun later on but coming down
