you coming up at 11 25. thanks jason. thank you coming up next here at 11. a lot of my favorite items and a lot of the stuff. my kids like to snack on food wires has been increasing, of course, gasses going up across the state , california is struggling to keep up with inflation. tomorrow a new plan will be laid out to help the 11 o'clock news on ktvu . fox two starts now. hello again, everyone. i'm heather holmes mike mibach governor newsom hoping a new $18 billion inflation relief package will help people keep up with the price hikes. jana katsuyama joins us now live from the newsroom with a look at how he wants this to work and why the governor is getting some pushback. heather and mike. the idea that the governor has is basically to give back some of the money that's in the governor in the state surplus, where this record budget surplus, but some of the lawmakers in sacramento say they do not think that this is the best way to use those

funds. inflation has hit people's budgets in many ways from getting groceries at the store. you can catch this on sale a lot of time to 79 3 99 regular prices now it's like 5 49 5 99 filling up the tank at the gas station. i used to beaca least 150 governor. gavin newsom wants to use some of the state's budget surplus for an $18.1 billion inflation relief package . the proposal includes $11.5 billion in aid to send $400 checks to car owners. 2.7 billion would go towards emergency rent relief 1.4 billion would help people with past due utility bills and $933 million would go to relief checks for some hospital and nursing home staff. the governor is also proposing $750 million for free public transit and other measures to pause the state's diesel sales tax. there would also be a waiver of

childcare fees for low income families. some people, however, opposed parts of nuisance plan. a group of democrats and republicans say the state should temporarily suspend the states 51 cent per gallon gas tax, state senator scott wiener of san francisco says more of the surplus funds should go toward long term infrastructure projects. the embarcadero could be flooded the immunity bark tunnels could be flooded up and down the state. we have major infrastructure needs. i think the impact would actually be felt relatively quickly is more likely, it'll take longer to get it enacted, u c. berkeley economics professor jim wilcox says. while the relief will help low and middle income people who have been hit the is caused by e demand than available supplies, providing these extra subsidies . these extra checks will only increase the amount of demand. and therefore if anything will tend to make the inflation rate a little bit higher. and again, this is a record high.

california's budget surplus could be as high as $68 billion , so there's sure to be a battle over how to spend that the governor is expected to release his plans tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. heather holmes that announcement. janet thank you. california's minimum wage will likely increase next year because of inflation if inflation estimates from governor newsom's office become a reality. the minimum wage will rise to 15 50 an hour it was already set to increase to $15 an hour. but state law indicates of inflation increases by more than 7% the minimum wage rises right there with it. governor newsom's administration announced today it projects inflation will increase 7.6% for the fiscal year organizers of a proposition calling for an $18 an hour minimum wage in california say they have enough signatures to put it on a ballot in november. well plans for the wage increases come as gas prices hit new record highs here in the bay area, according to triple a the average price across the nine bay area counties is

san mateo county, though, has the, marin sonoma and napa counties are all seeing averages the rest are just a few cents below that $6 mark, except for solano , where it's 5 85 a gallon triple asis today, oakland, san jose and san francisco all recorded their highest average price. analysts say rising oil prices are driving prices up at the pump. when they were 11. tonight students in the berkeley unified school district are being asked to wear a mask for the rest of the school year. right now, it's not mandatory, but district officials say they are seeing a slight rise in covid-19 cases in schools. and would like students to mask up once again as the end of the year approaches. graduation ceremonies are also being planned, and district officials say they want as many students as possible to stay healthy so that they can attend. we have an update tonight in connection

has made 31st. this includes mandatory brush clearing and tree trimming. many neighborhoods are also in the wildland urban interface. these are areas where homes meet up with the wildlands and are surrounded by highly flammable vegetation. the fire yesterday and southern california is just another reminder that we are in dangerous fire weather here. not red flag weather, but nonetheless, the conditions on the ground are very dangerous because the fuel is so dry, and there's so much of it. many fire agencies around the bay area also do evacuation drill so that residents in those high risk areas know how to safely leave their homes and conquered. i'm elissa harrington ktvu, fox two news. extreme drought is worsening across california. the drought monitors latest man there on the left shows the dark red area of extreme drought across much of the central valley and inland counties. the bay area. drought picture has not changed in the far northwest pacific storms had a positive
