sleepout at cal tonight. occupy cal's general assembly voted down a plan to camp out on campus for one more night. it was intended to protest cuts to public education and what critics call excessive force by police against peaceful protesters. occupy san francisco is still going strong after two months. and businesses are looking to the city to put an end to it. the city cleared out other tents that popped up along market street. but the main camp remains untouched. in part because mayor ed lee sympathizes with the message. businesses nearby say they have had it. >> the vandalism, the theft. the public urination. the unsanitary conditions that have been created at market street. your businesses, your businesses in the ferry building. they are all suffering. >> the fact is that the first amendment does not place limitation on how long people can be out there. >> they will continue to meet and determine how to handle

igh unemployment. california, you might argue

is in a mess right now. occupy protests, high unemployment, new talk of more budget cutting. so what does a group of state law lawmakers do? they head to hawaii on a trip that lobbyists paid for. we decided to follow along. supporter dave bryan showed up and asked the politicians, do you think this is a good idea? in the same week hundreds of california college students were protesting tuition hikes, thousands of californians took to the streets to protest corporate america. and the state announced a $13 billion revenue short fall. we discover add group of california's most powerful lawmakers not in sacramento addressing the crisis at hand. no. instead these lawmakers chose to spend five days at a resort. more than 2500 miles away in hawaii where somebody else was picking up the tab.

welcome to the california independent voter project, the caivp business and leadership exchange conference. where the state's most powerful lawmakers are wined and dined in high style by the special interests. leaders of the voter project say the conference addresses the most pressing problems facing california, aiming to break the log jam in sacramento. but undenounced to lawmakers, we were there too with our undercover cameras at the hotel on maui. where the legislature bills are paid by the voter project. at the conference, we found state senators and assembly members from across california. north and south democrats and republicans, about 20 of them attended according to the organizers. it's not illegal for california politicians to accept big freebies as long as it is being paid by a nonprofit

group. when we tried to find out more, our cameras were shut out. >> there's a guest here who asked you if you were coming and he saw you filming. >> no one asked me. you're the one who asked me. >> aapproached assembly speaker, john perez. >> good morning mr. speaker. sorry to crash the party. what do you think your con stitch constituents would say if. >> i think they know i'm here. we have talked about the fact that this is an opportunity for us to get together and have a wide range of conversations in a bipartisan basis. >> this is underwritten by the most powerful companies and powerful labor unions in california. it's hard to convince people that you are doing what is in the average person's interest. all expenses paid and the reality is, that you have to evaluate legislation. quite frankly, there's not a group here that i haven't had serious disagreements with. >> can you ask them to see

what's going on? >> but we never got in. so where does the independent voter project get the money to pay for all this? it's funded by big companies like pacific gas and electric. chevron, cigarette maker, southern california edison, and big labor groups like the powerful state prison guards union. about 50 donors in all. special interests charge who expect special favors in return from the state legislators. >> why are people paying their way? because people think they will get something in return and that is access, information, and getting to know these legislators. >> former state legislator is the leader of the independent voter project. >> why isn't the news media invited? >> you're here. >> we crashed the party. >> what good does it do to have a congress if everyone is going to talk to the camera? we want people to be candid and open and in order for the

conference to perform its function, you can't have cameras. >> but why maui? >> of course california is full of conference centers, maybe even meet with real californians who are suffering. >> it is an attraction to get people here. no question about it. >> in the interview, he embraces the fact that it is funded by special interests. >> my answer is yes and i'm going to continue to give money to special interests. you're making them spend it on good things. >> if he is sincere in thinking he wants to promote dialogue, then let's come back to california, if this really is a front for special interests to funnel their money to gain access with a couple of key legislators, then i cry foul and i think there needs to be an investigation. it's outrageous that these legislators don't see a problem

with it. >> reporting from maui, cbs 5. >> there is no evidence that lawmakers broke any laws, but government watchdog groups say the latest trend in political reform laws is using nonprofits to steer expensive gifts and vacations from special interests to those elected officials. waiting in line at the dmv can be pure torture, but the wait time has gone from hours to a few minutes. at the oakland coliseum branch, you can renew your registration. they are printed instantly and there you go. >> get out of here. don't worry about standing in line anymore. two or three stamps and your

registration comes out of the machine. >> the machine can't do anything. if you need to reknew your license, you'll have to stand in line or possibly do it through the mail. so far, this is the only automated machine in the bay area. the city of san pablo has one of the highest rates of childhood obesity in the country according to a new study. robert lyles heard from the city's health director who says he knows exactly what is making san pablo's children so fat. >> it's cold, it's thirst quenching. >> it's definitely lethal. >> the doctor didn't mince words with the city council tonight, saying the waistline of kids are climbing. >> average higher than the state of the average. >> the director says slide shows don't tell this tail. the streets do. >> 90% of the population is within a five minute walk of an

grocery stores aren't lining up to build here. >> driven grocery stores out. >> and likely driven parents into unhealthy choices. >> is this vent. it's easy to go down to the corner instead of going to a big grocery store. robert lyles, cbs 5. >> all right roberta, a big week here. a big forecast. >> and we have a lot of big weather changes, beginning with tonight. clear skies. overnight tonight, temperatures will dip between 39 and 49 degrees. the coolest location to the north toward santa rosa. to the east, also in livermore. now, meanwhile, these are the headlines you really need to know about. just wrap your mind about. first off, we had the clouds moving in. it's becoming mostly cloudy. we'll have areas of patchy fog. tomorrow, mostly crowdie with the possibility of rain and we
