  • Intense atmosphere rains persist across Northern California
    Nov 22 2024
    Doug Sovern is away today. This atmospheric river is dumping intense rain across Northern California and more wet weather is expected in the coming days. The National Weather Service issued multiple flash flood warnings for San Francisco and other parts of the Bay Area. This storm marks the first major rainmaker of the season and it's bringing life threatening conditions with it. To talk more about it, KCBS Radio news anchors Patti Reising spoke with Jackson Yip, meteorologist at San Jose State University, and Mary Ellen Carroll, the Executive Director at San Francisco Department of Emergency Management.

  • Prop 32 fails to pass
    Nov 20 2024
    It was close, but Proposition 32, to raise California’s minimum wage, has been defeated by the voters. After two weeks of counting the latest-arriving ballots, the ballot measure has lost by about one and a half percent, statewide. That came as a surprise to some, given California’s liberal reputation, but not to others, given the mood about the economy and anger over high prices. The low turnout by Democrats also hurt, because many voters stayed home who might have been sympathetic to increasing the minimum wage. Proposition 32 would have raised the statewide wage to 18 dollars over the next year. For more, KCBS Radio anchors Patti Reising and Bret Burkhart, along with KCBS insider Doug Sovern, were joined by Joe Sanberg, the entrepreneur and anti-poverty advocate who was the chief proponent of Proposition 32. This is The State of California.
