THIS IS KCRA THREE NEWS AT FIVE. REMEMBERING OFFICER RODARTE. WHEN THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE IS GOING TO BE HOSTING A PUBLIC SERVICE TO HONOR THE FALLEN OFFICER. BLOCKING MONEY TO HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS OVER POLITICAL DISAGREEMENTS, THE POTENTIAL CUTS TO MEDICAID BASED ON A RULING FOR A CASE SET TO HEAD BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT. AND PRESIDENT TRUMP CALLS IT LIBERATION DAY. THE WHITE HOUSE ROLLING OUT NEW, WIDE RANGING TARIFFS AS EXPERTS ARE WARNING OF HIGHER COSTS. GOOD MORNING. IT IS 5 A.M. I’M DEIRDRE FITZPATRICK AND I’M TEO TORRES. SO READY FOR A DRY OUT. YEAH, IT’S BEEN A LITTLE DAMP FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS. METEOROLOGIST DIRK VERDOORN IN FOR TAMARA BERG THIS MORNING. SHE’S ACTUALLY DOING NICE THIS WEEK. TAKING A LOOK AT YOUR FORECAST. YEAH, WELL, RIGHT NOW, THIS MORNING, IT’S KIND OF THE CALM BEFORE THE SUN INSTEAD OF THE STORM, BECAUSE WE’VE GOT CONDITIONS THAT ARE GOING TO BE MUCH MORE CALM AS WE GO THROUGH THE MORNING AND ON INTO THE AFTERNOON. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE SOME SUNSHINE TEMPERATURES LOOKING PRETTY GOOD. LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE THREE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW. IT’S GOING TO BE A CHILLY START THOUGH, WITH THE CLOUDS CLEARING OUT AND THE WINDS STAYING FAIRLY LIGHT THIS MORNING. JUST AS COLD AIR IN PLACE. THAT MEANS TEMPERATURES RANGING IN THE UPPER 30S TO LOWER 40S TO BEGIN THE DAY, BUT THEN LOTS OF SUNSHINE. IT’S GOING TO BE A WARMER AFTERNOON WITH A LITTLE BIT OF A NORTH BREEZE. AND ANOTHER THING YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IS WE’RE GOING TO SEE SOME MORE SHOWERS POPPING UP IN THE SIERRA, SO WE COULD SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE SNOW AND THE LOWER ELEVATIONS BELOW 5000FT COULD SEE A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN JUST A LITTLE BIT. RIGHT NOW WE’RE SEEING LEFTOVERS KIND OF HANGING ON. NOT A LOT IN CALIFORNIA REALLY. WE’RE SEEING THESE SHOWERS IN NEVADA, CARSON CITY RENO HAS BEEN SEEING SOME OF THAT. AND THAT’S ALL MOVING FROM THE NORTH TO THE SOUTH. IT’S NOT GOING TO BRING MUCH, BUT WE WILL SEE THAT INCREASING OR PICKING UP AS WE PROGRESS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. TODAY WE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN NEAR SONORA, BUT IT HAS SINCE DISSIPATED, SO WE’RE NOT SEEING A WHOLE LOT THERE. TEMPERATURES AGAIN, A CHILLY START, TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 30S IN YUBA CITY AND SACRAMENTO. WE’RE DOWN TO 34 DEGREES CURRENTLY IN FAIRFIELD WE’RE AT 42. IN STOCKTON, 45 MODESTO HAS A LITTLE BIT MORE CLOUD COVER, A LITTLE BIT MORE MOISTURE. SO IT’S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT WARMER THERE. 36 DEGREES IN AUBURN AND PLACERVILLE, 18 DEGREES AT LAKE TAHOE AND 25 DEGREES CURRENTLY IN TRUCKEE. TEMPERATURES ARE DOWN ANYWHERE FROM A DEGREE COOLER TO 15 DEGREES COOLER THIS MORNING IN FAIRFIELD. WINDS ARE FAIRLY LIGHT TO DOWNRIGHT CALM. FROM YUBA CITY TO MODESTO AS WELL AS TRUCKEE LIGHT WINDS ELSEWHERE, ANYWHERE FROM 5 TO 6MPH. TEMPERATURES WILL EVENTUALLY WARM INTO THE MID 60S WITH SUNSHINE THIS AFTERNOON. WHAT’S IN STORE FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK? WE’LL TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THAT COMING UP. NOW LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT TRAFFIC WITH BRIAN HICKEY. ALL RIGHT. THANKS. WE’LL START HERE ALONG INTERSTATE 80 AND HIGHWAY 50. ALL CLEAR. COMING IN FROM ROSEVILLE AND OUT OF FOLSOM, ALONG THE 50 CORRIDOR. THE RANCHO CORDOVA NO PROBLEMS. AND ONCE YOU HEAD OUT ONTO THE CAUSEWAY, EVERYTHING IS CLEAR ON WESTBOUND 80 TO DAVIS, VACAVILLE AND FAIRFIELD AT SAN PABLO DAM ROAD, OFF TO THE WEST, THERE’S REPORTS OF A CAR FIRE. IT’S OVER ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER. THE FIRE IS OUT AND I DIDN’T SEE ANY MAJOR DELAYS THERE, BUT I’LL KEEP AN EYE ON THAT FOR YOU. FIVE AND 99 OUT OF ELK GROVE. NO PROBLEM THERE. COMING INTO SACRAMENTO THROUGH LODI 99 IS CLEAR ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO STOCKTON AND THEN ALONG THE I-5 CORRIDOR. NO ISSUES TO REPORT THERE. 205A LITTLE BIT OF A SLOWDOWN AT THE MERGER TO 580. THAT WILL BE AN 18 MINUTE RIDE OVER THE TRACY TRIANGLE AND THEN 580, 25 MINUTES OVER THE ALTAMONT PASS, 12 MINUTES FROM 99 ON, 99 FROM MODESTO TO MANTECA, NINE MINUTES OUT OF ROSEVILLE ON 8050, A 15 MINUTE RIDE, 99 IS NINE MINUTES OUT OF ELK GROVE AND I5 11 MINUTES IN THE SIERRA. WE HAVE CHAIN CONTROLS. CAMERA DOESN’T WANT TO COOPERATE FOR DONNER SUMMIT, BUT WE DO HAVE CHAIN CONTROLS FROM GOLDEN 1 TO TRUCKEE, FROM EL CAMINO TO MEYERS ON HIGHWAY 50 AND 88, FROM PINE GROVE TO PICKETTS JUNCTION, BACK TO YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU BRIAN. WELL, IT HAS BEEN ONE WEEK SINCE OFFICER OMAR RODARTE WAS SHOT AND KILLED WHILE HELPING TO SERVE A SEARCH WARRANT. HE WAS FIRST MARYSVILLE POLICE OFFICER TO DIE IN THE LINE OF DUTY IN MORE THAN A CENTURY. THE DATE IS NOW SET FOR A CELEBRATION OF LIFE. IT’S GOING TO HAPPEN AT 10 A.M. NEXT TUESDAY AT THE HARD ROCK LIVE IN WHEATLAND. THE SERVICE IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. A PROCESSION WILL FOLLOW THE CEREMONY, AND HE’LL BE LAID TO REST IN A PRIVATE GATHERING. NOW TO A STORY YOU’LL ONLY SEE HERE ON KCRA THREE AND A SOPHISTICATED HEIST AT A FUEL STATION IN LODI, CAUGHT ON CAMERA. TAKE A LOOK HERE. THE FUEL STATION SAYS THE SUSPECTED THIEVES STOLE DIESEL BY MANIPULATING THE PUMP TO ALLOW THEM TO GET MORE THAN THEY PAID FOR. OWNERS SAY THE THEFT COST THEM THOUSANDS OF GALLONS OF DIESEL, PUTTING THEM OUT MORE THAN 30,000. IT HURTS BECAUSE THERE’S A LOT OF EMPLOYEES THAT DEPEND ON US. AND, YOU KNOW, IT’S SOMETHING WE PROBABLY CAN TURN IN THROUGH INSURANCE, BUT THEN THAT’S GOING TO RAISE OUR RATES, AND IT’S ALREADY HARD ENOUGH TO GET A COMPETITIVE RATE. YOU KNOW, IT’S IT’S NOT A GOOD FEELING. LODI POLICE SAY THEY ARE FOLLOWING SEVERAL LEADS IN THIS CASE. MEANWHILE, A SACRAMENTO COUNTY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL COUNSELOR ACCUSED OF SEXUALLY ASSAULTING STUDENTS WILL BE IN COURT TODAY. OFFICIALS SAY THE TWO SEPARATE INVESTIGATIONS INTO ONE YOUNG KIM REVEALED AT LEAST FOUR ALLEGED VICTIMS THREE GIRLS AGED NINE AND TEN AT CHARLES PECK ELEMENTARY IN CARMICHAEL, WHERE KIM WAS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL COUNSELOR. ALSO A 15 YEAR-OLD AT BAYSIDE CHURCH IN ROSEVILLE, WHERE HE WAS A YOUTH GROUP LEADER. KIM IS FACING SEVERAL FELONY CHARGES. HE’LL BE IN COURT AT AROUND 830. WELL, CUTS TO MEDICAID ARE BEFORE THE U.S. SUPREME COURT TODAY. JUSTICES WILL CONSIDER WHETHER STATES CAN’T DISCRIMINATE AGAINST HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS BASED ON POLITICS. LET’S GO TO AMY LU NOW. LIVE AT THE WHITE HOUSE. THIS IS ALL STEMMING FROM A DISAGREEMENT ABOUT ABORTION. YEAH. ABORTION. DEIRDRE AND TEO. WE KNOW THAT SOUTH CAROLINA WANTS TO CUT OFF MEDICAID FUNDING FOR PLANNED PARENTHOOD, SAYING THAT ANY MONEY THAT GOES TO THE ORGANIZATION INDIRECTLY FUNDS ABORTION CARE. BUT PLANNED PARENTHOOD IS ARGUING THAT VIOLATES PATIENTS RIGHTS. NOW, MEDICAID FUNDING CAN ONLY BE USED TO PAY FOR ABORTIONS. IN CASES WHERE A PREGNANT PERSON’S LIFE IS AT RISK OR THE PREGNANCY IS THE RESULT OF RAPE OR INCEST. IN SOUTH CAROLINA, PLANNED PARENTHOOD GETS LESS THAN $100,000 FOR ITS TWO CLINICS AND USES THAT MONEY FOR NON ABORTION CARE. BUT REGARDLESS, THE ORGANIZATION SAYS PEOPLE ON MEDICAID HAVE A RIGHT TO CHOOSE THEIR HEALTH CARE PROVIDER AND REMOVING THEIR CLINICS FROM THAT LIST VIOLATES THE LAW, FORCING HUNDREDS OF CURRENT PATIENTS TO GO ELSEWHERE FOR CARE. THERE ARE TOO FEW MEDICAID PROVIDERS IN SOUTH CAROLINA. WE HAVE GOT A REAL SHORTAGE OF THEM. IT’S A REAL. INSULT TO THE PATIENTS THAT THAT COME TO US FOR HEALTH CARE. THEY DON’T COME TO MAKE A POLITICAL STATEMENT. IT’S ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT STATES WILL BE FORCED TO FUND AN ACTIVIST ORGANIZATION LIKE PLANNED PARENTHOOD, THAT PERFORMS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF ABORTIONS EVERY YEAR. STATES SHOULD BE FREE TO CHOOSE HOW TO HOW TO BEST STEWARD THEIR LIMITED RESOURCES TO BEST PROVIDE FOR AND CARE FOR THE CITIZENS WHO LIVE IN THEIR STATES. YEAH, BUT STATS SHOW THAT ABORTIONS ACCOUNT FOR LESS THAN 5% OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD’S CARE NATIONWIDE. THE VAST MAJORITY OF THEIR SERVICES GO TO ROUTINE HEALTH SCREENINGS, FAMILY PLANNING AND OTHER REPRODUCTIVE CARE. DEIRDRE AND TEO. SO, AMY. ANTI-ABORTION GROUPS ALSO TARGETING PLANNED PARENTHOOD THROUGH THE EXECUTIVE AND LEGISLATIVE BRANCHES AS WELL. RIGHT? YEAH. EXACTLY. RIGHT. THE LOBBY GROUPS HERE IN WASHINGTON ARE ACTUALLY GOING AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S DEPARTMENT OF GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS DOGE, AS WELL AS CONGRESS. AGAIN, TRYING TO STOP THIS MEDICAID FUNDING FROM GOING TO PLANNED PARENTHOOD. AN ANALYSIS DONE IN 2015 BY THE CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ACTUALLY FOUND THAT 13 MILLION FEDERAL TAXPAYER DOLLARS GO TO PLANNED PARENTHOOD EACH YEAR. BACK TO YOU. ALL RIGHT. AMY LU LIVE AT THE WHITE HOUSE. THANK YOU. FEDERAL HYDE AMENDMENT ALREADY PREVENTS FEDERAL MONEY FROM GOING TO ABORTIONS IN MOST CASES. WELL, THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS TODAY IS WHAT IT’S CALLING LIBERATION DAY. PRESIDENT TRUMP IS SET TO ANNOUNCE WIDE RANGING TARIFFS AGAINST U.S. TRADING PARTNERS. PRESIDENT TRUMP AND HIS CABINET WILL SPEAK FROM THE ROSE GARDEN THIS AFTERNOON ABOUT HOW RETALIATORY TARIFFS WILL WORK. THE PRESIDENT IS ARGUING THAT THESE TARIFFS WILL BRING SHORT TERM PAIN FOR LONG TERM GAIN. BUT ECONOMISTS WARN THAT THE MOVE COULD PLUNGE CONSUMER SPENDING INTO A DOWNTURN. MEANWHILE, LONGTIME TRADE PARTNERS ARE PROMISING THEY’RE GOING TO PUSH BACK WITH THEIR OWN TAXES. AMY WILL JOIN US AGAIN IN OUR NEXT HALF HOUR WITH MORE ON THE ROLLOUT OF THOSE TARIFFS. SARA GALT CHANGING THE WAY VOTERS ELECT THEIR CITY LEADERS. CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY THREATENED TO SUE THE CITY, CLAIMING ITS AT LARGE ELECTION SYSTEM VIOLATES THE STATE’S VOTING RIGHTS ACT. THEN THE COUNCIL MADE THE SWITCH TO ELECTIONS BY DISTRICT. CANDIDATES WILL NOW BE REQUIRED TO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT THEY ARE RUNNING TO REPRESENT. HERE’S A LOOK AT THE APPROVED MAP. CITY IS DIVIDED INTO FIVE DISTRICTS, EACH MADE UP OF ABOUT 5000 RESIDENTS. THE CHANGES KICK IN NEXT YEAR. SACRAMENTO CITY COUNCIL HAS APPROVED CHANGES TO STREAMLINE THE CITY’S ENTERTAINMENT PERMITS, AND IT WILL NOW BE EASIER FOR SMALL BUSINESSES TO BRING IN LIVE MUSIC NOW, BEFORE SMALL VENUES LIKE COFFEE SHOPS HAD TO USE THE SAME PERMIT AS A BIG NIGHTCLUB. NOW, THE CITY COUNCIL HAS VOTED TO CREATE A LIMITED ENTERTAINMENT PERMIT. IT’S A NEW OPTION FOR BUSINESSES THAT HAVE AN OCCUPANCY OF LESS THAN 300 PEOPLE. THE PLAN FOR FEWER THAN 300 PEOPLE. THE PLAN WAS SUPPORTED BY THE CITY’S NIGHTTIME ECONOMY MANAGER, TINA LEE. VOTE. AND SHE SAYS THE CITY’S PROCESS FOR THAT KIND OF PERMIT HASN’T CHANGED IN MORE THAN 20 YEARS. AND SHE SAYS IT’S ABOUT TIME. 508 NOW LET’S CHECK ON WEATHER AND TRAFFIC EVERY TEN MINUTES, AND THE DRY OUT HAS ARRIVED, SO TO SPEAK. DIRK. YEAH, WE’RE LOOKING AT CONDITIONS GETTING MUCH DRIER HERE IN THE VALLEY. WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A NORTH WIND THAT WILL ALSO HELP WITH THAT. TEMPERATURES WILL START WARMING, BUT IN THE SIERRA WE’RE LOOKING AT MORE SCATTERED SHOWERS POPPING UP IN THE AFTERNOON. HERE’S A LIVE LOOK FROM OUR RANCHO CORDOVA SKY CAMERA. GOOD NEWS HERE IS THAT VISIBILITY IS PRETTY GOOD. I WAS THINKING THERE MAY BE A CHANCE WITH THE LIGHT WINDS AND THE RECENT RAINFALL AND THE COLD TEMPERATURES, WE MAY SEE SOME AREAS OF FOG. IT’S STILL NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION, BUT WE’RE NOT SEEING, AT LEAST AT THIS POINT. 38 DEGREES IN SACRAMENTO, CURRENTLY 42 IN STOCKTON, 45 MODESTO AND LAKE TAHOE SITTING AT 18 DEGREES RIGHT NOW. SO WIND NOT A LOT OF WIND THIS MORNING. IT’S FAIRLY CALM, BUT WE WILL SEE THOSE WINDS PICK UP A LITTLE BIT. IT’S NOT GOING TO BE LIKE THE PAST FEW DAYS WHERE IT’S BEEN SO WINDY. NOW WE’RE LOOKING AT NORTH BREEZE ANYWHERE FROM 5 TO 10MPH. THAT SHOULD BE THE EXTENT OF IT. MAYBE SOME GUSTS UP TO 15, BUT THAT SHOULD BE IT. AND WE’RE LOOKING AT AGAIN, JUST TEMPERATURES WILL BE FEELING A BIT WARMER AS WELL. BUT YOU CAN SEE THE SHOWER ACTIVITY THAT WE’VE HAD JUST KIND OF SKIRTING ALONG OVER THE SIERRA. THAT’S ALL KIND OF WINDING DOWN. WE STILL HAVE A FEW SHOWERS IN THROUGH THE NEVADA SIDE OF THINGS, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, WE’RE NOT EXPECTING A WHOLE LOT OF PRECIPITATION. BUT WE WILL SEE THAT CONTINUE. CHANCE FOR SOME SNOW SHOWERS AND AGAIN IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS. POLLOCK PINES ARNOLD, YOSEMITE COULD SEE A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN LATER ON TODAY FOR THE FOOTHILLS. LESS LIKELY I WOULDN’T TOTALLY SAY THERE’S NOT GOING TO BE ANY RAIN, BUT WE’RE LOOKING AT MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. PLACERVILLE JACKSON ANGELS CAMP WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE THERE COULD BE AN OUTSIDE SHOWER THAT JUST DROPS DOWN OFF OF THE UPPER ELEVATIONS. SO NAPA 6355 IN LAKEPORT, FAIRFIELD, WARMING UP TO 65 DEGREES THIS AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 60S MODESTO AND TURLOCK LODI 64 STOCKTON 65 DEGREES, AND TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 60S. ALSO THROUGH THE SACRAMENTO VALLEY WITH DAVIS 64, YUBA CITY 64 AND 65. IN SACRAMENTO. THERE’S YOUR WEATHER NOW. LET’S GO AHEAD AND SEE WHAT’S GOING ON WITH THE ROADWAYS THIS MORNING WITH BRIAN HICKEY. ALL RIGHT. THANKS, ERIC. HERE IN THE SACRAMENTO AREA PRETTY QUIET ALONG INTERSTATE 80 AND HIGHWAY 50. YOU SEE A LOT OF GREEN THERE ON THE MAPS COMING IN FROM FOLSOM THROUGH RANCHO CORDOVA. ROSEVILLE DOWN THROUGH CITRUS HEIGHTS AND ACROSS THE TOP OF SACRAMENTO. NO ISSUES THERE. WESTBOUND 80 AT SAN PABLO DAM ROAD IS AROUND THE CORNER THERE. THERE IS A VEHICLE FIRE. IT’S BLOCKING THE NUMBER THREE LANE OR SLOW LANE IN THAT AREA. SO MINOR SLOWDOWN ON THAT SPOT, BUT THE FIRE IS OUT FIVE AND 99. ALL CLEAR. COMING IN FROM ELK GROVE ON THE NORTHBOUND SIDE AND THROUGH STOCKTON NORTH AND SOUTHBOUND FIVE AND 99 CLEAR. NO PROBLEMS THROUGH MANTECA AND MODESTO TRACY, THOUGH WE HAVE A LITTLE SLOWING THERE ACROSS THE TOP OF THE TRIANGLE. JUST GETTING INTO THE RED NOW AT 23 MINUTES, 26 MINUTE RIDE OVER THE ALTAMONT PASS. 12 MINUTES ON 9980. HERE IS A NINE MINUTE RIDE FROM 65 TO THE SPLIT. 14 MINUTE RIDE OUT OF FOLSOM INTO DOWNTOWN AND RIGHT AROUND TEN MINUTES OUT OF ELK GROVE INTO SACRAMENTO. BACK TO YOU. THANK YOU. 511 NOW RENOVATIONS ARE COMING TO THE OLD SACRAMENTO WATERFRONT. YEAH, AND IT WILL HAVE AN IMPACT ON A. LONG STANDING ICONIC LOCATION WHERE THE DECK WAS DETERIORATING. WE’LL EXPLAIN. COMING UP IN
