[captioning made possible by california farm bureau federation] >> so we all know that california is king when it comes to growing citrus. and when it comes to growing lemons, no one is bigger than this ventura county farm. and with over 7,000 acres of lush lemon trees, limoneira isn't just the biggest lemon grower in california, but in all of north america. based in santa paula, the farm is a testament to what hard work and determination can do. founding fathers nathan blanchard and wallace hardison first bought the land way back in 1893 and named the ranch limoneira, which means "lemon lands" in portuguese. >> and at the time, they wanted to bring about the first full-scale commercial operation citrus ranch in the u.s. and from there, we added, throughout the years, over the last 115-16 years, 3 other families have come into the fold, and that's where we've grown today to be our 7,000 acres that we are in california. >> once called the home of the lemon, it actually took 15 years before those first farmers even turned a profit at the limoneira farm. but they persevered, and as they

one of california's largest industries. but each year, public defenders and private providers of quality defense battle for every dollar needed to protect this constitutional right. the bar association of san francisco is committed to partnerering with, not competing with our public defenders. san francisco fortunate to have a strong public defender and a bar system committed to quality representation for the poor. to best guarantee quality indigent defense, our partnership with the public defender and bar association is essential. they are each other's complements. the sum of the part that makes the whole of criminal defense work so well in san francisco. a challenge for our profession will be to ensure that cities and counties fighting seemingly endless budget deficits do not fall prey to the burgeoning business offered through websites of contract services for criminal defense. our constitution mandates that people accused of crimes be represented by comp at the present time council. not the last expensive council. on a

we of northern california, southern california, the padres. coastal california. we are so diverse. if we have the stuff of budget rules, that is one reason why the budgets are late. and two-thirds required for raising any state taxes has made it any more likely that lawmakers will look towards barrowing, smoke and mirrors to balance the budget. and has made it harder to come to grips with the underlying imbalance. what kind of a california do we want? what public service is do we want and how do we want to pay for them? host: we will be taking your telephone calls. q. let's begin with the telephone call from wendell, california. this is glenn on the independent line. caller: california, like other states, finds itself in a mess because and not only spend the money foolishly, they imprison everyone they can afford to imprison. they do not want to compromise on any subject at all. they want to imprison everyone they can and run the state into the ground. i hope we can change our mind in november. we have a chance to fix our budget and make america free. have a good day, ladies. host:

goat cheese is increasing in popularity in california. and here at harley farms, they believe in controlling all aspects of it, so that they get great taste and great quality. >> our secret ingredient is right here is in the grass that is grown in this wonderful soil. we are 2 miles from the ocean. so, that ocean air comes in and quite often it's foggy, especially during the summer and it brings in that foggy, salty air, which grows the grass that the goats eat and we consider that a secret ingredient. so, you see it on a lot of the menus all over the country now. even in cheese classes, a lot of the chefs are doing after- dinner cheese classes, which is great for small cheese makers like ourselves. this was so supported by the chefs. >> this segment is brought to you by the california farm bureau federation. sightseeing in california is a world tour of the chic and unique, all in one state. don't miss your exclusive tour when we come back. >> our dad used to say, when you work hard for something, protect it. >> that's why he got nationwi

i have an exand pl in california that's local to the san francisco, puc, the california commission has listed grant under their renewable fuels program and they are reported to supply several millions of dollars to demonstrate the viability of product that can be commercialized. all the good establishments in urban areas to convert to bio diesel fuel. these collaborative opportunities are available and have been used for many years now throughout the various states and, i think the opportunity is right in front of us to take advantage of these opportunities. in this particular case you have the state of california, you have the region nine, epa, so you have a regulator, san francisco ucuc. all contributing to funds offered by the california commission. so i'd like to suggest that we, as a group here, recognize that those opportunities are out there and that we leverage those opportunitys for the sake of reducing the carbon footprint and if we do that, these are near turn gains we can do as we get to the long-term as far as uncertainties and hydrological issues that might take a longer

california on the brink. jerry brown's plan? you run for office and the assumption is, oh, i know what to do. you don't. i didn't have a plan for california.

so it is a bad deal for the people of california. i went through chemo therapy, bilateral mastectomy and radiation. i am very healthy i feel terrific i would say to voters of california, look at all the cancer survivors making a contribution. >>> well, the entire interview is on cbs5.com. this is the first of four sit downs, barbara boxer, meg whitman and jerry brown still to come. >> she is very candid i hope all four candidates are that candy. >> this is the first time barbara boxer has had such a challenge, female, articulate and active and candid. her last couple races have been against clunkers. they were nonstarters. >> what do you thing it will shape up to in november. >> very close but i think she has to actually do much better initially to get republican money out here. this is a very expensive state to run in. barbara boxer three terms as senate she will have plenty of money. carly has to sell herself in california and across the country otherwise they will put their money in nevada washington and cheaper states. >>> so you

in california, those laws are pretty heavily regulated. for example, the private screening firms cannot report of arrests -- or they are not supposed to -- and i cannot report convictions going back more than seven years. federal law does not even close, not nearly as good. that is consumer protection law. then, applicants are entitled not to report arrest on an application, so we are very familiar with lots of good laws on the books that are never enforced. the real challenge is to get about enforcing these laws. i do not know if you want to talk about it -- >> tell us about what is next. how can we be successful in taking -- you mentioned there are some good laws on the books. do we -- do they go far enough? how can we take it further? how can we essentially this reform? this seems to be critical. >> we had this huge proliferation of background checks. this huge proliferation of this industry that is collecting all these criminal records, and you have way more people walking around with a criminal record. one in five, as was mentioned. s

about 48%, 49% approve of what's going on in california. about 45% disapprove. >> in arizona, you mean. >> of what's going on in arizona. but if you unpack the numbers a little more, it gets much more interesting. because then you see that almost every single ethnic group actually kind of by a slight majority approves of what's going on in arizona. so non-hispanic whites, about 58% approve. african-americans, 53%. asian-americans 50%. what's making it seem split that evenly is because the latinos overwhelmingly, 71%, disapprove of it. and of that 71% about 63%, 64% strongly disapprove. so in a way you could say this is an example of the power of the ethnic vote because the latino vote is actually skewing the california numbers in a certain direction. but mark decamilo, who's the director of the field polls, he was telling me that it also means that in a couple of years we might see an arizona-like immigration measure on the california ballot, and that is probably going to prove very polarizing and divisive. and at the same time they've also

she has sort of thrown down the gauntlet to the california nurses association. this is going to be a battle all the way through. the nurses association took on arnold schwarzenegger. and this is all about labor. and meg whitman has made it an issue too. >> you mentioned labor, and that's where we're going next because we're going to be talking to bob over here, bob gammon, about the situation that fell apart where the city of oakland was trying to make a deal with the oakland police officers and that did not work. so now we're faced with the huge layoff or firing of these officers? >> they've been laid off. there's 80 police officers that have been laid off. they're already out of work. they could be hired back if the city were to reach an agreement with the police officers union sometime in the next few months. it's not clear whether that's going to happen or not. at this point the police officers union has been very -- taken a very hard-line stance on this. so it may not happen. >> belva: so how did they get to this point? i mean, is there a person who's at fa

well everybody knows by now about california's attempts to legalize marijuana through prop nineteen but there's a new twist to this story and see the u.s. patent and trademark office created an entirely new division for naming strains of medicinal marijuana so you can imagine dispensaries and growers all over were rushing to get their favorite strains named and sold only to then find out that the u.s. patent office ultimately reversed their decision so sorry growers that means terms like. mello yello none of those can be trademarked anymore and surely this is got to be a load of one of the most notorious pot smokers in the country snoop dogg for years the devil o.-g. has made a name for himself and his marijuana and let's not forget the back in the ninety's dr dre were all about the chronic and since then he's gone on to come up with some very creative names for other strains of marijuana things like kush and. he even had a cameo on showtime series and we need to give a very creative name to a stay at home mom supply. but you go well that's what we're about to. go. to the bill. we like

that's what we used in this california assessment. for the scenarios they were all down scaled to twelve kilometers covering california and nevada. it's not totally adequate and i'm not saying this is a solved problem. the premium grape growers want to know what's going on in napa, valley but for a lot of water related problems i think we're okay. [inaudible] >> what's the long-term climate - >> hopefully, we get on to that green emissions trajectory which would have co2 levels leveling off and declining. there's a lot of inertia in the system. we all have cars and you can't change power plants overnight and et cetera, et cetera. but in fact the earth response to climate is not going to make too much difference until about the middle part of the century between all those scenarios. through 2050 a climate model is sort of a climate model no whatter what you do with it. in fact if you stop all , co2 emissions today. fossil fuel is the reason it's increasing because fossil means it's stored in the ground and now we're putting it in the a

we all know mary as a very capable secretary for california's resources -- california resources agency where she was the head of that agency from 1998 to 2003. those of us who remember back far enough recall the days as a senior attorney for the environment now foundation. she was also co-founder of the first environmental justice working group in the state. we are very pleased here in san francisco and i believe all of you should be very pleased to have mary as the moderator of our first panel. mary, it's time for you to take it away. thank you. . >> thank you so much, susan, for that very generous introduction and also to the city and the public utilities commission for hosting this landmark event. it really is wonderful to see water utilities taking a leadership role in discussing this key issue and particularly to see the bredth of the program in terms of the way the issues are being addressed. i'm particularly pleased as an urban person to see for once that we're talking about water from the coast up the watershed, rather than the other way around. starting out this morning's prog

it has not been as hot here as it has been in southern california. we're going to go back to the crown fire near palmdale, these are live pictures. you see the smoke from the fire, it's a big fire. it's so out of control they are evacuating some homes. the aquaduct was jumped. we have pictures of that earlier in the newscast. this is a big fire. here's the deal. the weather is not really cooperating. now it's not sweltering down there, you see a chopper in the foreground there. it's midnight, it's upper 90s, it can be much much hotter in this area. but you can see the terrain, it's dry, it's california, it is very ready to burn. and the weather is going to be dry and hot and windy for the next 48 hours. saturday the wind are going to gust up to 25 and 35. there's the california aquaduct -- no pardon me, that's one of the roadways. i thought it might have been the aquaduct. this fire still an issue. you will see it more at the 6:00 broadcast then again at 10:00. for us, let's come back. we're talking about temperatures in the 70s. most of us around th

published a report titled, changing climate, assessing the risk to california. the report looked at 3 scenarios for cutting the amounts of emission that we pump into the atmosphere and depending on whether and how much green house gas emissions can be brought under control, the report projects by the end of the century average temperatures in california will rise between 3 and 10 1/2 degrees centigrade. one of the most publicized impacts of global warming is a predicted increase in sea level. and here's a graph showing sea level rise in san francisco bay. now, i want to note one very important fact about this graph. it does not show predicted sea level rise. it shows how much the level of the bay has risen over the past century. since 1900, the bay waters have risen 7 inches. and we at bcdc have been monitoring this increase for decades and we have been especially concerned because ground elevation, particularly in the south bay, is sinking because of ground water extraction. so even if there's no sea level rise, we expect more flooding as the low-lying areas co

welcome to california water. i'm not going to talk about the analysises that were done or some of the technical planning we have done but really focus on water management and what we've done specifically related to that in san diego. i want to tell you who the authority is. we're the regional wholesaler we supply to 24 retailers and we import water from the colorado river and the colorado river is in it's 7th year of drought and record low levels on the reservoirs. the other ss get water from california. which wildly fluctuates. so i think i don't gamble i just work in california water. you get the same sensation of putting it on the line all the time. we have a large capitol improvement program and it's part of the analysis and it mately the response we have done to some of these challenges. let me show you where our transmission line is. we go from the northern border to the mexican border. three thousand miles of pipe. it's now about 13 feet in diameter and we serve 3 point 2 million people a year and serve an
