san francisco's youth like these two cousins from the fillmore. >> what's this mean to you? >> a big opportunity. >> at the same time, within the goal 2, we're going to also accommodate returning veterans from our wars and military to be part of this effort, as well. and yes -- [ applause ] >> reporter: but there was another message being delivered, as well. yes, the waterfront is a wonderful open space but the arena and its jobs will be good for the whole city. and that organized labor one of the biggest forces in city politics is behind the deal big time. >> i think it's a big step forward. we still have to take a look at the financial components of the deal. >> reporter: waterfront residents are starting to feel that the deal is moving too fast and more attention needs to be paid about the noise and traffic that 200 coliseum events a year will mean to this neighborhood. >> i understand why they are pushing things so quickly, but a lot of folks in the neighborhood field, let's take a step back.
6:01 pm
>> reporter: maybe. but for now, the full-court press is on. >> any questions for the mayor? >> reporter: the timing of this, is it coincidence that it happened the same day they start hearings? >> well, it's planned. i mean, i think we're hitting every milestone that we can. >> reporter: and they have milestones to hit and i think we'll hear more announcements like this. by the time this christmas tree gets through city hall, there are going to be a lot of ornaments on it. >> yeah. >> reporter: what they are going to do about traffic remains to be seen. >> sounds like there are a lot of presents under the tree already. >> reporter: you got it. >> phil, thank you. new numbers out tonight show a dramatic turnaround for the state budget. according to the legislative analysts office, california now faces a much smaller deficit of $1.9 billion for the next fiscal year which ends in july. we could even see surpluses by 2014 a big change from the
6:02 pm
deficit projected this year. it counts increased revenues by prop 30 approved by voters last week. jerry brown risked his political future pushing for prop 30 but has been scrambling this week trying to avoid voter backlash. cbs 5 political reporter grace lee on how he has gone all out to prevent ill-timed tuition hikes. >> reporter: the governor was front and center in the days leading up to the election. he had his hand out saying we need billions of dollars for schools and for our universities saying we need that or else. so with voters consenting to increased taxes just last week those tuition hikes could really have been a political embarrassment for the governor. >> we have some breathing room. proposition 30 gives significant revenue over 7 years. >> reporter: and that means no tuition increases for uc students at least for now. it's a small victory for the governor after the csu board made a similar move just yesterday to avoid fee increases that were on the
6:03 pm
agenda. as the lieutenant governor pointed out it seems some political posturing is going on. >> yet we again dealing with the political realities of not wanting to appear to increase tuition or fees just shortly after the election have punted a little bit. i get that. you know, i'm in politics. but i don't appreciate that. >> reporter: newsom alone voted against the proposal today saying it puts us on a spending path that will inevitably lead to increased tuition costs for students in the next several months. >> but what i heard today is there's a minimum 6% increase in tuition on its way. minimum. >> reporter: the governor denied that his trip to long beach yesterday and to the uc regents meeting today was related to managing public relations for prop 30. >> no. this is a serious effort. i'm going to try the best i can to keep tuition down and i'm going to try the best i can to get revenue from the state. >> reporter: this is not the first time that the governor and his second in command have
6:04 pm
butted heads on the same issue. the lieutenant governor reiterated today that what was promised from prop 30 is not necessarily what is going to be delivered. >> this is my fear a few months ago, prop 30 no tuition increase and just a week after the election here we are and we're in a frame arguably that's the path we're walking down. >> reporter: what's next? this tuition increase could happen anytime before the final budget is turned in, in mid- june and clearly there's a lot of political pressure to avoid the tuition increases. the uc president also pointed out today that today they are looking at alternate sources of money for the universities because he knows they can't just depend on the state to fund the schools anymore. dana? >> grace lee, thank you. crews in daly city shifted their focus from cleaning up the muddy mess to prehaven'ting a water main break from getting -- to preventing a water main break from getting worse. they are shoring up a hillside
6:05 pm
before the rain comes. cbs 5 reporter joe vazquez shows us just exactly what's being done. joe. >> reporter: hay, allen. no, seriously, hay is one way they are using to shore up the hillsides compromised by the mud side. -- mud slide. stacking hay and clearing storm drains, two tasks that have daly city crews hard at work today. the hay is being used to contain the substantial mud still covering nearby hillside park. they will clean that mud up later because right now, they are focused on what they call weatherization making sure the upcoming rainstorms aren't going to do more damage to the neighborhood. it turns out yesterday's mud slide swamped all the storm drains so now workers are having to find them and then dig them out so they can help divert any rain. >> so we're going to take our remote control tv camera to go into the pipe itself and then get to the storm drain, and then identify where that is so we can excavate it out and then where it's located, we can divert water to that location.
6:06 pm
>> reporter: 4:20 yesterday morning an 8" pipe broke off and spilled 45,000 gallons of water, taking out a good 300 by 40-foot chunk of the hill, the ensuing mudfall burying more than a dozen cars. >> once the sun came up and we saw the huge gash on the hillside and how it went off to the side instead of straight down to our house, that was the first time i realized how lucky we were. >> reporter: lucky because the mud missed the nearby homes. but unlucky for car owners who are still cleaning out. are you worried about the rain coming and the way this hillside looks now? >> i'm worried about the two, three houses back there because there's nothing in between that hill and them. the ground is already saturated. if it's dry, maybe a little runoff. but now it's wet. now it's a landslide. >> reporter: the work on the ground is done and the water department chief insists, allen, that this neighborhood will once again be safe with those rains on the horizon. >> all right, joe vazquez, daly
