change. at san jose, they've been waiting more than four years for takeoff. a new state of the art airport worth hundreds of millions of dollars. but the flights simply weren't coming. now they are on their way. >> we're so pleased to report that southwest airlines will expand its flight service at mineta san jose international airport in spring of next year. >> reporter: the airport's largest carrier, southwest, says it will add four more daily flights to its service out of here. flights to denver, seattle and orange county. >> southwest are telling us their passenger bookings are incredibly strong and it's time to expand here. >> reporter: for some passengers, they have long been their little travel secret. >> you just get in, you just get out. >> reporter: and no delays like sfo? >> not as much as sfo. yes. >> reporter: others are just now finding out that secret. >> flying in from south bend,

use some of that extra revenue from these flights to pay for its own police officers and, perhaps, hire more. live at sjc, damian trujillo, nbc bay area news. still ahead at 6:00, a south bay city tackles a nationwide problem. the unprecedented move and why some say the change is a violation of the constitution. also coming up, treating a child's disease with marijuana. the controversial medicine that has one school drawing the line. and the a's in san francisco. the team responding to a new report that would have them moving across the bay to at&t park. and we have a newly issued frost advisory for parts of north bay up above 1,000 feet for tonight. there are the clear skies right now. i'm chief meteorologist jeff ranieri. we'll talk about how the clearing will lead to temperatures in the 30s, coming up in just a few minutes.

twitter expected to go

public with its stock this week. now they've raised the possible asking price to around $25. the company had previously planned to sell shares for up to $20. twitter says the plan will sell about 70 million shares. whatever happens with twitter's ipo this week, the company already made a big splash in san francisco. today mayor ed lee showed off how twitter is changing the once seedy part of market street. here's nbc bay area's joe rosato jr. >> reporter: there was a time long ago when san francisco's market street was the beating heart of the city. in recent decades, central market was a place to avoid. that was before a couple years ago when the city used a payroll tax break to lure twitter to tenth and market. >> we're seeing the beginning i think of a renaissance that people want to be here. >> reporter: today the tech boom's biggest cheerleader, san francisco mayor ed lee, stroll mid market pointing out the flood of business that's followed in twitter's wake. >> there's the new home of the

going toward food banks and affordable housing? >> reporter: lee says 1,400 of the new homes opening on market street are below market rate housing and while crime and safety are concerns in the area, some see change coming just up the street. joe rosato jr. in modesto, the family of a 7-year-old student is at odds with the school district over his epilepsy medicine. every day jayden's father has to pick him up during lunchtime, drive him 1,000 feet from campus to administer his medicine to stop chronic seizures. because jayden takes a liquid form of medical marijuana, the school district has made them -- has stopped it. >> to me, this is inhumane. it's inhumane to not give a child in something that's saving their life. >> it does not deliver a high, but the police chief says the drug is being tested and soon should be approved. until then, though, jayden's father will have to administer the marijuana, himself. tonight, for the first time

in about ten years we're seeing a 100 foot tugboat that's been stuck at the bottom of the oakland estuary. the operation to remove the tug is part of a major cleanup effort in the water near park avenue and blanding avenue in alameda. see the map there. the tugboat is nicknamed "captain al" and getting it to the surface has been no easy task. it's taken two months of coordination and a lot of preparation to clean up this mess. federal, state and local agencies are involved. the cost? about 5 million bucks paid for by grants. >> the "al" anywhere between seven and nine years ago, sunk, somewhere in that range. 100 foot. there wasn't a lot of marine information on it. the designs were not available to us. >> not just this tugboat, authorities say there are about 20 more boats, cars and other things under the water as they describe it. which will also be lifted out of the estuary in the next few weeks. all right. let's turn things over to meteorologist jeff ranieri who joins us.

boy, it's starting to feel like fall. >> yeah, you know, cooler weather throughout parts of the south bay today. struggled to get out of the 60s in san jose. officially 67. i know in the sun it did feel warmer. a little bit below average. 7 1, livermore. 71, concord. we'll undergo warming over the next 18 to 24 hours. that is after we start off with the cold morning tomorrow morning especially in the north bay. national weather service has now issued a frost advisory for all of our north bay cities from 3:00 a.m. on tuesday, until 8:00 a.m. so make sure to take in those pets and protect the plants tonight with extended hours of temperatures in the 30s. fake you outside right now with the time change. it is darker, of course, sooner. we have that official sunrise coming at 6:42 tomorrow morning and the sunset at 5:07. that's palo alto lit up like a kma christmas tree tonight. a lot of traffic per normal. another view tonight. see on this monday evening in san francisco, city lights shining bright. no fog in view. currently a slight offshore wind

spread to more sea life along the west coast. stay with us.

nationally, it's a hot topic. and tomorrow it will play out locally. sunnyvale voters deciding on gun control legislation. it's a decision the nation will be watching. nbc bay area's marianne favro joins us in sunnyvale this evening to explain the details.

>> reporter: raj, they'll be watching the outcome closely. because several other cities throughout the nation are also considering similar legislation. so they want to see what voters here will be doing with measure "c." they're also interested because the nra is already threatening to sue if measure "c" passes. proponents of measure "c" say it will help prevent tragedies like the one that left 26 people dead in newtown, connecticut, last december. >> it has to stop. we can no longer have children's lives lost because someone is able to get a gun and take it to school and shoot young adults. these tragedies have to stop. we have to take a stand. >> reporter: if approved, measure "c" would prohibit sunnyvale residents have having ammunition magazines that hold more than ten rounds and require people to report lost or stolen guns to police within 48 hours and require firearms to be locked up when not in use. it would also require registration for ammo purchases which sellers must keep on file

for two years. >> i think it's due, and i'm all for it. >> reporter: but one sunnyvale resident who asked not to be identified said measure "c" would take away his rights. >> i believe you probably should keep most of them locked up, but if you have one gun that's set up for home defense, it's doing you no good locked in a safe. you can't stand there and say, hold up on the robbery, i got to unlock my gun. >> reporter: the owner of u.s. firearms also opposed the proposed gun laws. >> they drive sales out of sunnyvale. >> reporter: on its website the nra says measure "c" would do nothing to reduce violent crime or firearm accidents and is vowing to sue if the measure passes to protect what it calls infringements on the right to bear arms. >> the first night at city council, the very first statement, we're going to sue you. then sue us. we have to stand up for the people who need to be protected. >> reporter: and new york city major michael bloomberg will also be watching this election

very closely because he gave $3,000 to the yes on measure "c" campaign. reporting live in sunnyvale, marianne favro, nbc bay area news. it's not the only key measure on the ballot in the bay area tomorrow. voters in san francisco will also weigh in on a high-profile measure. that initiative is called washington street and would transform the waterfront along the embarcadero. the proposal includes creating new housing, public parks, open space, and adding sidewalk cafes. okay. should a school bond measure approved for $100 million actually cost taxpayers $1 billion to pay off? that nightmare has actually come true in a southern california school district. >> that bond, and others like it, have forced local authorities to focus on how schools are financing bonds. in tonight's "reality check" nbc bay area's sam brock investigates claims that san mateo county is one of those offenders. the taxpayers consider approving new school bonds tomorrow. >> raj, jessica, good evening. measure "p" is up for a vote in

san mateo, foster city. if passed it would deliver millions a district desperately needs to address overcrowding and aging buildings. what cost to san mateo taxpayers? a recent report says the county is racking up billions in taxpayer dollars by issuing elaborate bonds called cabs that voters didn't approve. is that true? the numbers are way off. the concept rings true that voters often don't know what they're voting for. by most definitions, this is what you'd call a cab. a vehicle that for a premium will take you where you need to go. but in school districts sprinkled throughout san mateo county, and all over the state for that matter, taxpayers are learning about a different kind of cab. what's called a capital appreciation bond that also, for a premium, will take school projects where may need to go. not everybody is keen on the idea. >> i call it creative financing. you can call it fuzzy math,

whatever you like. the fact is it's like pulling the wool over the taxpayers' eyes. >> reporter: san mateo county resident, matthew, expresses his recent shock about learning about c.a.b.s. described in a grand jury report as, quote, ticking time bombs. you see, conventional bonds require regular payments on principal and interest and cost taxpayers 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 times the principal. c.a.b. defers payments and builds up interest that costs taxpayers three, four, six, ten times the orange nap principal. >> when the money is due later on where is it going to come from? how do you come up with $900 million or billion in 30 years from now? where is that money going to come from? >> a district can only issue what they can spend in three years. >> reporter: denise porterfield is san mateo's financial guru, responsible for overseeing finances of all 23 county school districts. she say s typically school bond measures get chopped up into

several pieces, not one bond. she says when san mateo issues the c.a.b.s. they're typically for shorter terms, only a few years. then there's the report, itself, we discovered is riddled with errors. it says the outstanding c.a.b.s. in san hmateo will cost taxpayes $2 trillion. the figure shown in the report is actually $2 billion. that's a big difference. as it concerns the san mateo union high school district, the civil grand jury has accused it of selling three c.a.b.s in recent years, $190 million in funds that will cost taxpayers $1 billion to pay off down the road. is that true? >> i don't know how that could be accurate when it's approximately $1 billion. their total indebtedness. >> reporter: the reality is san mateo union is on the hook for about $1 billion in total debt right now. that's bonds that have already been issued. according to the school district, that does include two c.a.b.s that will have to be paid back eventually at almost

five times that amount. san no te'o union says when you include the conventional bond, the figure shrinks considerably. did you know this is how school bond measures are being financed? alicia minion fears it is no. she's a certified fraud examiner who serves on a state watch dog committee for school bonds and trying to educate voters on what they're not being told when they vote for school bond measures. >> the voter information dropped in such a way to really pull at your heart strings and make you feel good about voting for a school bond. when you promise a lower tax rate, wow, this doesn't really cost me very much. you know, i will go ahead and vote yes. unb unbeknownst, you may have been duped. >> reporter: school bond measures are paid with taxes on your assessed home value. elementary or union high school district can charge you up to $30 for every $100,000 your home is worth. unified districts can charge up to there are 60. as you'll see, they often don't.

measure "p "", the high profile $130 million ballot measure in san mateo foster city, up for a vote this week has a tax rate of $19. well below the maximum rate. the gamble school districts are making is that your home values will increase in future years, enough to keep those tax rates relatively low. in the home projections miss their mark, it creates a bonding shortfall. that's when school districts issue c.a.b.s for other similar notes in the short term. >> it is a way to bridge that financing until the assessed values come back up. so that they can then be paid for by the approved them. >> reporter: porterfield said keeping the funding going is critical especially if the schools are unsafe. >> that always has to be the consideration. you know, not doing any bonds and letsing its facilities fall apart is not what taxpayers want either. >> reporter: in the case of san mateo county high school, the studen students wouldn't have a new performing arts center without school bonds.

it's crucial for new technology, to more classroom space. are the immediate improvements worth push hiing higher costs t folks down the road? parents worry that voters must make that decision without knowing the real cost implicati implications. >> if you have a bond measure and certain amount of money the taxpayers have voted for, that's certain. so let's get the financing put in place. that's certain. and let's not guess on these other items or guess on the value of the property going up and more revenue coming in. >> if they choose a c.a.b. structure, it's not going to harm you personally today. it's going to harm whoever -- whoever lives in that district 10 or 20 years from now. those are the ones who are going to have to pay for it. >> and if your district has some of these c.a.b. bonds it doesn't mean you're going to wake up one day and have a giant balloon payment at your koor step. san mateo union, their c.a.b.s are paid off a little bitter ev single year.

bottom line, school districts don't tell you the real cost of school bond measures at the ballot. you need to press school officials to get those answers. i'm sam brock and that's today's "reality check." back to you. >> thank you, sam. very good information. heavily sedated and under guard. the suspect in the deadly shooting at l.a.x. remains in critical condition tonight. today police revealed 23-year-old paul ciancia legally bought the semiautomatic rifle at a gun range near his apartment in l.a. the weapon is reportedly collapsible and could fit inside the suspect's bag. he worked as a motorcycle mechanic is accused of killing a tsa officer and wounding three others last friday before being shot in the head by police. the shooting is renewed the debate on whether tsa officers should carry guns. a bribery scandal is threatening the reputation of the u.s. navy tonight. court documents reveal a navy commander passed confidential information on shipping routes to a malaysian defense contractor in exchange for

hookers and show tickets. documents show the two would move navy vessels like chess pieces and contractors would overcharge the navy millions of dollars for food, fuel and other services natu services. coming up, is there bullying in the national football league? a stanford alum is in the middle of a bizarre case that's getting national headlines. also new warnings about the ancient practice of yoga that has some concern there may be more risk than reward. and chilly air already starting to set in across the bay right now. a frost advisory in effect. good evening, i'm chief meteorologist jeff ranieri. we'll talk about the cold temperatures and rain now making it in that seven-day forecast in just about 15 minutes.

a miami dolphins player is facing a lot of heat tonight. accused of hazing and bullying so severe it led to a teammate quitting. offensive lineman and stanford alum jonathan martin left the team last week. he said he received continuous death threats and was at the end of racial insults from teammate richie incognito. the dolphins suspended incognito indefinitely. it turns out he has a history of trouble. >> had a lot of issues, got kicked out of nebraska. you know, we had the category dndc, do not draft because of character. >> incognito is accused of forcing rookies to pays for expensive items like a $30,000

dinner. the nfl is now leading this investigation. in "health matters" men and yoga is a mix that now comes with a warning. a "new york times" science writer claims more emergency rooms are reporting yoga injuries and the patients are often men often with a competitive nature. experts say they use their muscle to force themselves into challenging poses and then wouldn't you know, they get hurt. even though women are more flexible, they tend to run the risk of damaging hip joints and some extreme classes. yoga experts say it's vital to pay attention to pain and back off if something begins to hurt. >> and competitive nature was the key phrase in that story. supposed to be zen. >> yes. >> people like to get into it. >> i can see it now. i've never entered one of those classes and i think i'm going to stay out of those. >> all right. is it already dark outside? >> it is. this is wild, right? i want to go to bed already with this sun setting so much earlier.

live look outside of our san be berno camera toward the bay bridge. we'll talk about the cold temperatures and when rain returns in about five minutes. all right, jeff. the warriors run roughshod over the 76ers. s a's may be letting two big arms go. meanwhile the 49ers may be getting a couple of key players back. which means sending another packing. we'll have that and more from the xfinity sports desk.

star fish wasting away and dying off in large numbers along our coastline. it is happening again and scientists are stumped as to why. nbc bay area's kris sanchez talked with researchers about what's happening and how you can help the next time you walk the beach. >> reporter: it's a very lonely
