involving our aging roads. california faces nearly $60 billion in deferred road repairs. now a state senator wants to do something about it. political analyst larry gerston is with us. what's the proposal and who is making it? >> the proposal is offered by state senator jim bell of san jose. it's no secret that the state's roads are in a mess. california ranks 42nd in per capita road spending 49th for that matter in road conditions. so the result is really poor roads. they cost the state's drivers nearly twice the national average. >> is this a political ploy by senator bell? and what is his proposal? >> i don't think it's a ploy. but what he wants to do is add between maybe $3 billion and $4 billion each year to the state road repairs. with the state's drivers paying the cost. here's where the money would come from. ten cents would come from an

additional fuel tax which hasn't been changed since 1992. $100 annually paid by drivers of electric vehicles which, of course don't use gas but of course, use the roads. and $35 in increases to the annual motor vehicle fees and that by the way, would up them just a little bit. if passed the law would the sunset after five years. it does have a built-in end at least for the time being. >> if passed. historically you know this better than anyone californians don't go for higher taxes especially when it comes to our cars. how does this look? >> you're right. here goes. the bill is just at the beginning of what could be a long journey. it did pass its first committee today. a committee hearing. now it will be heard in several more committees before a final vote where it needs a two-thirds approval rate to get through each chamber. that's always a challenge. in addition, while the bill is endorsed by just dozens of cities and counties throughout

the state, it is opposed by the howard jarvis tax association and the association of california car clubs. you know but in the end, look the legislature is going to have to decide whether people should pay a little bit more for taxes now or face just never ending i should say annual repairs because of these poor road conditions. it's just not enviable choice but the time has come and one way or another, there's going to be consequences from what happens to this bill. >> what do we like to say, something's got to give at some point. thank you, larry. >> still ahead, cleaning up the mess and bracing for more trouble. the latest from the baltimore. >> you just are really happy, really happy person. >> friends remember a sunnyvale man killed in nepal. i'm marianne favro. that story coming up. >> also kind of like i can't believe i'm doing this. i can get to the bottom. you feel like you accomplished something. >> learning to navigate the streets by finding their way in
