this is a gas tax package that would raise the taxes 12 cents a gallon. that's in addition to what we already pay. and it would create a vehicle license fee of about $50 on average although that's going to vary depending on the value of the car and also a $100 fee on fuel-efficient vehicles and electric vehicles. now, this is all supposed to yield about $5 billion a year to fix roads and remember two things. this is -- there is no sunset in this bill. this is a forever tax as it were. and also, it is going to increase over time based on inflation. so it will continue to go up. and that is something that these senators are taking very seriously. i talked to senator scott weiner and he told me that he and some coworkers made sure that there was money in there for transit for places like the bay area where we need money not just for roads but really for public transportation. >> in the original version of the bill, in my view, there was not enough funding for public transportation. and so i and one of my

colleagues senator ben allen from santa monica, we really advocated hard along with others to get more transit funding so the current version of the bill that we're voting on almost tripled the guaranteed funding for public transportation compared to the original version. so i'm really happy about that. >> reporter: now, with the senate taking up this bill, we have to assume that they have the votes to pass it. generally speaking, they wouldn't set it up to have a big pickup defeat. so we think it will pass. but you never know with one vote here or there, things could get dicey here. if they do vote, in the next hour, we will be right back here to tell you that story. liz? >> melissa, do you know the timeline on these votes tonight? >> reporter: well, you know, so after the senate votes, then it has to go to the assembly where they will make speeches and cast their votes. it could be very late. although remember too, the legislature goes on spring break as of tonight. so i can't imagine they are going to wouldn't to be here

drive also had flood damage. they too have sandbags out. the city blames the drainage pipe for the flooding. three feet wide but still too small to handle major storms forcing water to go above street and flooding homes. >> the larger pipe to replace existing pipe through the yards and then under the streets st. augustine and that would carry more flow so hopefully the water will stay in the pipe. >> reporter: this week the city found that the expansion project will cast more than projected. -- will cost more than projected. so city leaders as to decide if they want to spend the extra money. >> it's going to rain tonight and tomorrow. so i will be up -- i'm very nervous at night listening to the rain. >> reporter: unfortunately, more sleepless nights for the homeowners out here. that's because the city was hoping to get this expansion project done by this december. given the roadblock this money issue, it may not happen by december. live in benicia, i'm da lin, kpix 5.

>> pelley: this is a cbs news special report. i'm scott pelley. president trump has just made his first public comments on the attack he ordered tonight against the assad dictatorship in syria. u.s. navy destroyers fired 59 tomahawk cruise missiles against a syrian airbase. , now this was retaliation for tuesday's nerve gas attack that was launched, apparently from that syrian base, an attack that killed more than 80 syrian civilians. many of them children. the president was speaking a few minutes ago at his palm beach resort, and we will have that-- his remarks as soon as they come in to us momentarily. in the meantime, david martin has been breaking the news on this story at the pentagon. david, what more can you tell

us? >> reporter: well, scott, the target for this air strike was the airfield believed to have been the location from which the plane that dropped those chemical weapons took off. so this was a direct retaliation against the syrian air force for having carried out that chemical attack. the airfare field itself was located about 50 miles directly south of the village that was hit. and it was the target of, as you said, 59 cruise missiles. they landed at about 8:45 east coast time tonight. that would have been the early morning hours in syria. and they were aimed at various locations around the air-- the aircraft hangars, the fuel storage areas. and they were all designed to go off within the space of one minute.
