it was just last week that his ex-girlfriend took the stand and took back her allegations of domestic abuse. she told the court she made it up after he dumped her in an attempt to get money and hurt his career. she was in a fight with another woman, she said. the judge said she couldn't trust the recantation but wanted to make sure her change of heart wasn't coerced. the judge said she reviewed 911 calls, witness statements and photographs of the injuries and then reached the conclusion that she believed ennis made up the assault. and so the domestic violence charges against foster were dropped and additional charge of possession of an assault weapon was knocked down to a misdemeanor. >> today, reuben foster's defense team scored a touchdown. this could not have gone better for the team. it's not just the recantation that led to the decision but

it was the entirety of the evidence that was put on at the preliminary hearing. >> reporter: the 49ers released a statement just now saying, quote. >> reporter: meanwhile, the district attorney's office just released a statement saying that they are disappointed by the decision because they believe the evidence shows that foster did in fact hurt his girlfriend and they say that it is all too common for victims to recant. >> thank you, ann rubin. back to the new nfl policy on the national anthem and players. a protest that started two years ago. the policy approved today by the nfl requires players to stand for the national anthem if they are on the field. if the players don't stand, their team could face a fine

but not the players themselves. the policy also allows players to stay in the locker room while the anthem is being played. joe fonzi reports. reporter: i think they were looking for clarity and compromise. i'm not sure that they achieved that. nfl owners meets are usually about things that happen between the white lines, tweaks to the rules. last year there was the issue of the raider move to las vegas. this year, the owners addressed the issue that last season evoked emotional responses no matter what part of the country it was raised. it started as a relatively unnoticed one-man protest two seasons ago. colin kaepernick's decision to "take a knee" during the national anthem sparked emotion on both sides of the flag versus patriotism issue. the movement grew. the weekend after the president made comments in alabama referring to nfl players as so bs -- >> he's fired. >> reporter: -- owners and players alike thought they had

to express different forms of team unity during the anthem. today, commissioner roger goodell announced the decision by the owners designed to apiece both sides. >> we want people to be respectful of the national anthem. we want people to stand. that's all personnel. and make sure that they treat this moment in a respectful fashion. that's something that we think we owe. we have been very sensitive in making sure that we give players choices but we do believe that that moment is an important moment and one that we are going to focus on. it was unanimously adopted by the clubs. >> reporter: not quite. the vote wasn't 32-0. 49ers ceo jed york abstained from the vote. in interviews today york said, i wanted to make sure we focused on the progress aspect of this, not focus on the protest. and i think there's so much more to it than a player standing. we want to make sure we have an all encompassing sort of solution to how we look at

this and not point the finger at one group or another. >> reporter: a further clarification of the new policy. teams will not be required to be on the field for the anthem, but protests will be punished. based on the discretion of individual teams. new york jets he won't impose any new club rules, fines or restrictions. and the players union obviously has a stake in today's decision. that body was not consulted by the owners and issued this statement: >> the owners objective today was to obviously bring clarity to a divisive issue last season. it remains unclear if they have accomplished that. >> a couple of other notes. the 49ers have said they will close the concession stands

during the anthem. and colin kaepernick and eric reid the two 49ers most associated with kneeling during the anthem as of right now are free agents and unemployed. >> i was going to say, jed york abstained. what was the reason for that? >> reporter: i think it was probably indicative of the part of the world that he represents. if you look on the east coast, the new york jets owners saying i'm not going to institute any new rules for the players anything that they have to follow. i think his comments are most appropriate. there are so many entities that have taken this argument politically hostage and he is saying it isn't about that. it's about what the original intent was, which everyone seems to have lost with that original intent was. >> so what about the nfl players union here? is this -- this obviously isn't the final say on this. are they going to appeal this? and will this still take effect do you think at the beginning of the new season? >> as things exist now, the owners have the right to

implement something like this because it's not covered in the current collective bargaining agreement but there is a new collective bargaining agreement on the horizon coming. and this will undoubtedly be something that's negotiated at that point. >> joe, thank you. we spoke with fans today about this new rule. as you might imagine, reaction was mixed with fans taking the stand on both sides. one fan said he feels that the new policy steps on the players' rights to express themselves. >> they have a freedom of speech and the freedom to do what they want to do. if they want to kneel during the national anthem, it has nothing to do with disrespecting the flag. it has something to do with what they are "standing" for, and that's my opinion. >> it sounds reasonable. that way, you have the choice kneel or not but you're not affecting other people. that sounds reasonable. >> another fan we spoke with said he thinks the protests should have stayed off the field to begin with. now to the south bay where three cities there are going to ask residents if they want to place a big tax on some of

their biggest employers all in the name of improving the quality of life. ktvu's tom vacar joins us now live from mountain view, one of the cities looking into this controversial plan. tom. >> reporter: it's controversial but simple. the companies that help create congestion and help create the high cost of housing are going to be asked, the voters will, to place a tax on those companies simply because they will have to pay for the head of each person because it's that each person when they all add up that actually make the problem get even bigger. and that's what's going to happen in these three towns if the voters say yes. here's that report. reporter: following the recent lead of seattle, mountain view, home of google and many other tech companies, and cupertino, home of apple, have recommended to their city councils to put a so-called yearly business per person head tax on the november ballot. east palo alto will do the

same. the idea, raise millions of dollars in revenues to make major transportation improvements and start additional affordable middle class housing. >> $100 for sole proprietor, a little more as you go up. as you get to larger employers over 500, we would have a sliding scale which would bring you up to what could be $250. >> reporter: google, mountain view's largest employer, is looking at millions a year from this but has yet to speak out on the head tax. apple, cupertino's biggest employer, is also looking at millions in head count taxes. >> everybody recognizes that we have a housing crisis and also a transportation crisis. these two are joined at the hip. so i think even major employers are now having a hard time attracting and retaining talent. >> reporter: even mountain view's business-supported chamber of commerce has yet to decide. >> we're reserving our official position until we

really truly understand what this revenue measure is going to entail. >> reporter: stanford law professor and urban planning expert michele wild anderson says it's best to let the voters decide but sees the danger that a head count tax to fix current problems, cities just might be tempted to keep following the money. >> it gives the government an incentive to -- one more incentive, really, to permit new square footage on commercial property because each time they do that you'll bring in one more employee here, one more employee -- a dozen there. and that's the basis of the revenue, a head count. >> reporter: so for mountain view, cupertino and east palo alto, gridlock and excruciating housing costs are becoming unstainable even for those making the super high high-tech salaries, a real problem and we have probably reached the tipping point. tom vacar, ktvu fox 2 news. >> there is a similar tax plan in seattle and just today,

amazon, starbucks and other companies pledged more than $350,000 toward an effort to repeal seattle's newly passed tax on large employers. this move comes two weeks after the seattle city council unanimously passed the tax that will charge big corporations about $275 per full-time worker each year. the money raised from that tax would pay for affordable housing and homeless services there in seattle. we have some breaking news right now from san francisco where a tour bus has caught fire. skyfox is over the double- decker bus right now. this is happening at columbus avenue near broadway. san francisco fire tweeted that one person was injured by smoke inhalation. want to show you some video now from just a few minutes ago where you can see heavy smoke pouring out of that bus. again, this is a very busy area of the city especially during rush hour. it's right there on the edge of chinatown and north beach. again, happening near broadway

gas. crews have already removed 50,000 gallons of flammable liquid from the facility and the governor says people are safe. >> if we really felt that the plant was at risk of triggering a well-being exposed, then that's when we would order the evacuations. >> reporter: since the volcanic activity began, the big island has experienced hundreds of tremors and more than 20 vents have opened up increasing the risk of exposure to toxic gases. the lava is also causing explosions as it enters the ocean and cools, sending fragments of gas flying in the air. now with nothing to do but wait and watch, first responders are praying for an end to the uncertainty. >> we can't predict anything that's going to happen. it's hard when we try to explain to the residents what we would like them to do because it changes so much. >> reporter: local authorities say they are monitoring the gas levels at the geothermal plant. if those levels spike it could
