out 380 million dollars in public funds to help build that stadium. but a new poll finds residents of las vegas oppose using public money. the emerson college polling survey asked 500 likely las vegas

voters. do you support or oppose the use of public money going towards the construction of a baseball stadium for the las vegas a's. well, almost 32% supported public funding. nearly 52% opposed it. and more than 16% remain unsure. >> everyone but nevada, politicians and the stadium authority seem to see through this. john fisher scam that he's going on. alexander marks is with the nevada state education associations, schools over stadiums campaign, which is trying to stop the public funding of that las vegas stadium. well, those surveyed live in the city of las vegas seen here in yellow, not along the part of the strip where the ballpark will be built marks thinks the poll results are significant. billionaires like john fisher don't want this on the ballot. they know that if this is on the ballot, they're going to probably we just saw what happened in jackson county, missouri last week. we saw the polling they can read the tea leaves like everybody else. it's still unclear if nevada

voters will get a say in the public funding question. on tuesday, the nevada supreme court will rule as to whether schools over stadiums can move ahead and collect signatures for the ballot measure to put the question on the november ballot marks remains optimistic at the end of the day, public money should not be going to billionaires for stadium. public funds should be gone. the public schools or other essential services. you know, we keep saying there's more planning of the world class stadium. there has a world-class education system. we've got all these bills that didn't get hurt or or veto like universal school lunches or reducing class sizes. and then our legislature gets focused on this new shiny object for john fisher because he asked them for money and they said, ok, how much? meanwhile, teachers have been saying we'd love a 20% salary increase and they said, well, expensive. we can't afford that. dan kerman kron, 4 start time for a look at the forecast tyler's back to talk about the beautiful weather but also allergies cause it's

yes, not a great time of year i know. that's the thing is you get all this warm weather. you get all these lovely things blooming. and then of course, you get some allergies. now we have a little break there for a few days because we have that rain. >> and that kind of washes some things away, kind of tamp things down a little bit. but as you can see over the next couple days as we warm up all this beautiful sunshine out there, we're also going to see some more blooming happening. so by thursday, we're going to be the high category. so just be ready for that. if like me, you are occasionally sneezing for what seems like no good reason. that's probably why live look outside from our mount tam cam. it is a gorgeous blue sky day. temperatures have been running warm once again. it's our trajectory over the next couple of days to continue warming up. you can see we're at 76 and san jose and in santa rosa. other temperatures also above average across the board today, really the only when it's kind of close to normal as half moon bay, the coast stayed relatively cool. and we've had on nice breeze out there, too. you can see a point raised now about 19 miles per hour. yeah, that's a bit of a reset. high pressure is in control. so that's why we've got the sunshine and we're going to get warm

temperatures today tomorrow and even into thursday by friday, it's going to be all about low pressure system that's to our north and west as that tracks. and it's going bring a front through ahead of that. we get a little bit of rainy weather and then behind that very chilly temperatures. so not only were going to lose the blue skies, but we're also going to drop temperatures dramatically after this warm up. all right. let's take a look at this in our pattern in future. cast take you through thursday. you can see we stay dry by friday. we've got clouds moving in. we should stay dry for the day on friday, but we get to the overnight. that's when this system rolls through and it will linger likely into sunday morning before it's all said and done that. you did see a quick hit of a little sierra snow there, too. going to be a big system. but certainly, you know, it's an april snow. that's kind of something to talk about. this is the rain we're looking out for south the entire state that's going benefit from some of this rain. it is a little bit late season, but hey, we'll take it. we are going nice warm up before we get to that, though. so enjoy it wednesday and thursday by friday. get that jacket back out. folks going to drop those temperatures about 15 to 17 degrees are

going to drop him even further as we get into saturday. so we'll wrap it up by late sunday. and then as you can see next week, looks like dry out and get some really nice kind of seasonal temperatures. kyla. that sounds great. thank you very much. >> coming up next, a new study and tells us where the so-called swifty capital of the country is an
