>>> MAYOR TODD GLORIA FORMALLY PRESENTED HIS BUDGET PROPOSAL TO THE COUNCIL TODAY.

DEPARTMENTS LIKE SAN DIEGO FIRE AREN'T GOING UNSCATHED IN THE PROPOSAL, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WOULD HAVE A BUDGET OVER $547 MILLION.

THAT'S UP 27 MILLION FROM LAST YEAR.

BUT IT STILL COMES WITH SOME LOSSES INCLUDING CUTTING A COMMUNITY RESOURCE CAPTAIN, FIRE ACADEMY INSTRUCTOR, RECRUITMENT OFFICER AND BOMB SQUAD STAFFING.

>> ONE FIRE ENGINE WILL BE SHUT DOWN DOWNTOWN BUT THERE IS THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT, WHERE SAY YOU'VE GOT A SUSPICIOUS PACKAGE AT THE AIRPORT.

BUT THE BOMB SQUAD IS RESPONDING TO A FIRE.

IT COULD BE WHO KNOWS HOW LONG BEFORE THEY CAN CUT THOSE RESOURCES LOOSE FROM THAT EXISTING EMERGENCY.

>> GLORIA SAYS THIS PROPOSAL WILL PREVENT FIRE STATIONS FROM CLOSING AND PREVENT BROWNOUTS.

THE BUDGET PROPOSES A SERIOUS CUT FOR THE NEXT YEAR.

>> THIS IS THE START OF A MULTI- MONTH PROCESS.

>> Reporter: MAYOR TODD GLORIA PRESENTED HIS BUDGET PROPOSAL TO THE SAN DIEGO CITY COUNCIL TODAY.

HE SAYS INFLATION, INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS AND FLOW REVENUE HAVE LED TO A $118 MILLION DEFICIT.

HE SAYS ALL-CITY DEPARTMENT WILL FACE CUTS TO FILL THAT GAP.

>> THESE DECISIONS ARE NOT EASY AND THEY WILL HAVE IMPACTS ON ALL OF US BUT THEY ARE NECESSARY TO DETECT CORE SERVICES AND MEET OUR LEGAL OBLIGATION TO PASS A BALANCED BUDGET.

>> Reporter: THE PROPOSAL CUT OPERATING HOURS AND STAFF IN BOTH THE LIBRARY AND PARKS AND RECREATION.

IT ALSO ELIMINATES THE OFFICE OF YOUTH SUCCESS, THAT ARTIFICE ADVOCATES FOR YOUTH AND CITY PLANNING AND SEEKS GRANTS TO SUPPORT THE CITY'S YOUTH PROGRAMS.

ADVOCATES SPOKE AGAINST THOSE CUTS EARLIER TODAY.

WE ARE ASKING YOU TO PROVE IT.

>> Reporter: CITY LEADERS CITED A SURVEY THAT FOUND SAN DIEGO RESIDENTS WANT TO PROTECT POLICE AND FIRE RESCUE SERVICES.

THE LEGAL DIRECTOR FOR PILLARS OF THE COMMUNITY.

KPBS NEWS.

>>> CALIFORNIA'S PRIMARY ELECTION IS WEEKS AWAY AND SAN DIEGO FOR SEATS ON THE CITY COUNCIL WILL BE ON THE BALLOT.

METRO REPORTER ANDREW BOWEN JOINS ME FROM THE KPBS NEWSROOM.

HI ANDREW.

>> Reporter: HI MAIA.

>> LET'S START WITH COUNCIL DISTRICT TO.

>> DISTRICT 2 INCLUDES CLERMONT, MIDWAY AND POINT LOMA AND THIS IS AN OPEN SEAT SINCE THE INCUMBENT JENNIFER CAMPBELL IS OUT.

WITH SEVEN CANDIDATES IT IS THE MOST CROWDED PRIMARY RACE IN SAN DIEGO.

NICOLE CROSBY IS DEPUTY CITY ATTORNEY AND SO SHE WORKS AT THE CITY AND SHE SAYS SHE KNOWS HOW TO CHANGE IT FOR THE BETTER.

SHE HAS RACKED UP THE MOST ENDORSEMENTS BY FAR INCLUDING SEVERAL UNIONS AND THE COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

JOSH QUEEN ALSO HAS SEVERAL HIGH-PROFILE ENDORSEMENTS.

FORMER COUNCIL STAFFER AND CURRENTLY WORKS FOR THE DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO PARTNERSHIP.

HE IS POSITIONING HIMSELF AS THE MOST PRO-HOUSING CANDIDATE, SOMEONE WHO WILL SUPPORT POLICY TO BUILD MORE HOUSING IN THE EFFORT TO LOWER PRICES.

RICHARD BAILEY IS THE FORMER CORONADO MAYOR AND HE MOVED TO DISTRICT TO RECENTLY COME A FORMER REPUBLICAN WHO REGISTERED AS AN INDEPENDENT IN FEBRUARY.

HE HAS A PRETTY BIG SOCIAL MEDIA FOLLOWING BUT IF HISTORY IS A GUIDE, BAILEY FACES TOUGH ODDS AND THAT'S BECAUSE IN 2018 A REPUBLICAN INCUMBENT LOST BY ALMOST 16 POINTS AFTER HER OPPONENT TIED HER TO PRESIDENT TRUMP.

I THINK IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO WATCH HOW THE PARTISAN DYNAMICS PLAY OUT.

THE OTHER CANDIDATES IN DISTRICT 2 ARE MANDY, JACOB, MIKE RICCI AND A COMMUNITY ACTIVIST THAT RAN IN THIS DISTRICT 4 YEARS AGO.

THE OTHERS ARE NEWCOMERS TO POLITICS AND MAYA, IN SUCH A CROWDED FIELD IT IS TOUGH FOR ANYONE OF THESE TWO REALLY STAND OUT.

>> IS A CROWDED FIELD.

LET'S TALK ABOUT DISTRICT FOR AND SIX.

WHO IS RUNNING THERE?

>> Reporter: DISTRICT 4 COVERS MOST OF SOUTH EAST SAN DIEGO.

HENRY FOSTER IS SEEKING ANOTHER TURN WEIRD HE HAS A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY TO SPEND TO GET HIS MESSAGE OUT BUT HE DOES HAVE CHALLENGERS, MARTHA ABRAHAM, SHE IS A NURSE WHO BECAME A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER IN RESPONSE TO LARGE HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS IN THE DISTRICT.

AND THE THIRD CANDIDATE IS JOHNNY DANG.

DISTRICT 6 INCLUDES MIRA MESA AND UNIVERSITY CITY AND THE INCUMBENT KENT LEE IS SEEKING ANOTHER TERM.

HE HAS ONLY ONE OPPONENT WHO IS A REALTOR AND BARRING ANY MASSIVE CAMPAIGN BOTH OF THESE CANDIDATES ARE GUARANTEED TO ADVANCE TO A RUNOFF IN NOVEMBER.

>> THAT LEAVES COUNCIL DISTRICT 8.

WHO IS RUNNING THERE?

>> DISTRICT 8 IS THE SOUTH BAY DISTRICT THAT INCLUDES FANTASY DREW SAN A SEDRO.

THERE ARE CANDIDATES RUNNING TO REPLACE HER.

ONE OF THEM IS HER CHIEF OF STAFF WHO HAS THE ENDORSEMENT OF VIVIAN MORENO THE INCUMBENT AND THAT OF CITY EMPLOYEE UNIONS.

VENUS MOLINA IS CHIEF OF STAFF FOR ANOTHER COUNCIL DISTRICT BUT SHE DOES HAVE DEEP ROOTS IN DISTRICT 8.

SHE GREW UP THERE AND HAS BEEN ADDRESSED INVOLVED WITH MANY NONPROFITS.

RAFAEL PEREZ HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN A LOT OF THOSE COMMUNITY GROUPS AND HAS BEEN ACTIVE AT THE STATE LEVEL GETTING LAWS PASSED TO BUILD MORE STARTER HOMES.

AND ANTONIO MARTINEZ IS A FAMILIAR FACE FOR MANY IN DISTRICT 8.

A SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER, FORMER STAFFER FOR CONGRESSMAN VARGAS AND HE RAN IN DISTRICT 8 IN 2018 AND 2022.

SO AGAIN, ANOTHER CROWDED PRIMARY AND ALL OF THE CANDIDATES HAVE SOME DEGREE OF POLITICAL EXPERIENCE AND NAME RECOGNITION.

IT'S HARD TO SAY WHO'S GOT THE EDGE.

>> THAT WAS AN EXCELLENT BREAKDOWN.

WE REALLY DO APPRECIATE IT.

FOR MORE COVERAGE OF THE PRIMARY GO TO KPBS.ORG/ELECTIONS.

>>> TONIGHT ON THE NEWS HOUR FOLLOWED FROM THE U.S.

ATTACK ON AN IRANIAN SHIP IN THE GULF OF OMAN.

THAT'S COMING UP AT 7:00 AFTER EVENING EDITION ON KPBS.

>>> GAS PRICES HAVE SOARED MORE THAN 30% SINCE THE WAR WITH IRAN BEGIN AND THE VIOLENCE HAVE CAUSED A DISRUPTION IN OIL PRODUCTION AND SHIPPING LEGAL LEADING TO GLOBAL SHORTAGES.

THERE IS SOME GOOD NEWS FOR DRIVERS.

>> Reporter: MARKETS OPENING MONDAY WITH OIL PRICES RISING, FOLLOWING NEWS THAT I RAN IS ONCE AGAIN DECLARED THE TREND FORECLOSED.

MARITIME TRAFFIC IS VIRTUALLY HALTED FURTHER DISRUPTING GLOBAL OIL PRODUCTION.

>> THE LESS SUPPLY WE HAVE IN THE MARKET.

>> Reporter: HEAD OF MIDDLE EAST ENERGY THEFT OIL TRAFFIC WILL REMAIN IMPACTED.

>> WE ARE NOT SEEING THE RESOLUTIONS FOR THE SITUATION DESPITE ALL OF THESE HEADLINES.

>> Reporter: THE GOOD NEWS IS U.S.

GAS PRICES ARE COMING DOWN.

AS OF MONDAY THE NATIONAL AVERAGE OF REGULAR GAS WITH FOUR DOLLARS FOR $4.04 BELOW THE PEAK OF $4.17 WE SAW EARLIER THIS MONTH.

BUT BEFORE THE WAR BEGAN THE GAS PRICES WERE BELOW THREE DOLLARS A GALLON.

AND WHILE PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP SAYS HE BELIEVES PRICES WILL FALL SOONER, THE ENERGY SECRETARY SAYS IT COULD BE A WHILE UNTIL DRIVERS SEE THOSE PRICES AT THE PUMP AGAIN.

>> THAT COULD HAPPEN LATER THIS YEAR, THAT MIGHT NOT HAPPEN UNTIL NEXT YEAR.

>> Reporter: WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG FOR PRICES TO DROP DRAMATICALLY?

>> REFINERIES STILL IN THE MIDDLE EAST THAT PROVIDE FUEL IN AREAS LIKE EUROPE MIGHT STILL HAVE SOME DELAYS BEFORE THEY CAN REALLY RESUME OPERATIONS.

>> Reporter: EVEN WHEN THE STRAIGHT OF HORMUZ DOES OPEN AGAIN IT COULD TAKE SEVERAL WEEKS FOR OIL TANKERS TO GET IN POSITION TO TRAVEL THROUGH THAT AREA.

ALL OF THAT TAKES TIME WHICH IS WHY PRICES ARE SLOWLY GOING TO COME BACK DOWN.

FOR CONSUMER WATCH, I'M JENN SULLIVAN.

>> GAS PRICES CONTINUE TO DECLINE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY BUT STILL WELL ABOVE THE NATIONAL AVERAGE.

TODAY IT COST $5.85 ON AVERAGE FOR A GALLON OF REGULAR GAS.

THE PRICE HAS DROPPED $.11 OVER THE LAST 12 DAYS.

>>> A SCHOOL IN SOUTHEAST SAN DIEGO WENT WITHOUT WATER OR HAD THEIR WATER SUPPLY DISRUPTED SIX TIMES IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS.

DISTRICT LEADERS PROMISED FIXES WOULD COME WITH NEW TAXES BUT FOR THIS WEEK'S WHY IT MATTERS SCOTT LEWIS REPORTS THEY ARE PROPOSING ANOTHER TAX INCREASE.

♪ ♪ >> Reporter: SCHOOL DISTRICT LEADERS HAVE BEEN PROMISING FOR YOU TO USE BOND MEASURES AND TAX INCREASES TO FIX WATER ISSUES AT THE SCHOOL FOR CREATIVE AND PERFORMING ARTS IN PARADISE HILLS.

AND VOTERS IN THE CITY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT HAVE APPROVED NEARLY $10 BILLION FOR TAX INCREASES FOR CONSTRUCTION COSTS.

THE SCHOOL IS WELL KNOWN AND ATTRACTS FROM ALL PARTS OF SAN DIEGO.

TAX INCREASES PAST BUT THE SCHOOLS PLUMBING WASN'T FIXED.

EACH TIME THE BOND AND TAX INCREASES WERE PROPOSED SCHOOL DISTRICT LEADERS SPECIFICALLY PROMISED THAT THE PLUMBING WOULD BE FIXED.

IN FEBRUARY AND MARCH THIS YEAR, THE DISTRICT FULLY OR PARTIALLY SHUT OFF WATER AT THE CAMPUS SIX TIMES.

NOW, THE DISTRICT SAYS THE FIX IS COMING BUT ONLY WHEN IT DOES A FULL MODERNIZATION OF THE CAMPUS.

NOT UNTIL 2028 OR 2029.

SAN DIEGO UNIFIED HAS RAISED PROPERTY TAXES FOR CONSTRUCTION BONDS FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST 20 YEARS AND MANY OF THE PROMISES IN EACH ONE JUST CARRY OVER TO THE NEXT.

OF THE 20 PROJECTS FOR THE SCHOOLS LISTED ON ONE OF THE PREVIOUS MEASURES LESS THAN HALF HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.

THOSE INCLUDE INSTALLING A NEW EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL UPGRADES, SOLAR ENERGY, AND RENOVATION OF THE SCHOOL PERFORMING ARTS FACILITY.

NOW SAN DIEGO UNIFIED BOARD MEMBER HAS CONFIRMED TO THE VOICE OF SAN DIEGO THAT ODDS ARE HIGH THAT THEY WILL BE SEEKING YET ANOTHER TAX AND BOND INCREASE ON THIS BALLOT.

BOARD MEMBER SAID THE ONGOING PLUMBING PROBLEMS ARE THE KIND OF THING THAT WILL MAKE VOTERS WANT TO IMPROVE ANOTHER BOND.

FOR VOICE OF SAN DIEGO, I'M SCOTT LEWIS AND THAT'S WHY IT MATTERS.

>> VOICE OF SAN DIEGO IS ONE OF OUR PARTNERS FOR THE PUBLIC MATTERS INITIATIVE.

>>> HUNDREDS OF ARTISTS, ACTIVISTS AND CULTURAL LEADERS GATHERED TO PROTEST MAYOR TODD GLORIOUS POST ELIMINATION OF ARTS AND CULTURE FUNDING FROM THE BUDGET.

ARTS REPORTER SAYS THEY CALL THE CUTS DISPROPORTIONATE AND NOT A SHARED SACRIFICE.

♪ ♪ >> Reporter: AS PROTESTERS GATHERED OUTSIDE CITY HALL, A MAKESHIFT ORCHESTRA PERFORMED PEP TUNES.

ORGANIZERS PUT OUT A CALL FOR MUSICIANS TO BRING THEIR INSTRUMENTS LESS THAN 48 HOURS PRIOR.

MUSIC FROM THE LARGE GROUP ECHOES THE PLAZA AS HUNDREDS GATHERED TO PROTEST THE MAYOR'S PROPOSED BUDGET.

LEADERS SAY THE PROPOSED BUDGET FLASHES ART FUNDING 11.8 MILLION.

AN 85% REDUCTION.

>> WE UNDERSTAND THERE IS A BUDGET ISSUE.

WE WERE NOT ASKING FOR AN INCREASE.

WE WERE ASKING FOR FLAT FUNDING.

>> Reporter: CHAIR OF THE CITY'S VOLUNTEER COMMISSION FOR ARTS AND CULTURE.

SHE SAYS THE DRASTIC CUTS WILL IMPACT ESSENTIAL GRANT FUNDING FOR HUNDREDS OF ARTS AND CULTURE NONPROFITS.

>> THIS CAME AS A COMPLETE SURPRISE.

IT FELT LIKE A KICK IN THE GUT.

>> Reporter: IMPACTED ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDE SAN DIEGO PRIDE, COMIC-CON, MUSEUMS, PERFORMING ARTS AND CULTURAL CENTERS.

>> THE ART IS NOT JUST EXPRESSION.

HOW COMMUNITIES FUND AGENCY, CONNECTION AND POWER.

>> THE ARTS ARE NOT A LUXURY.

THEY FUND FOSTER ECONOMIC GROWTH BUT JUST AS IMPORTANTLY THEY PROVIDE CONNECTION, HEALING AND HOPE.

>> Reporter: ANNA HERNANDEZ SAYS THIS IS ESPECIALLY TROUBLING WHEN PAIRED WITH PUBLIC SAFETY INCREASES.

>> POLICE BUDGETS ARE MAKING US LESS AND LESS SAFE.

THERE IS ALSO POWERFUL EVIDENCE THAT INVESTING IN ARTS AND CULTURE IS A PUBLIC SAFETY STRATEGY.

>> Reporter: NEXT MONTH THE MAYOR WILL PRESENT A REVISED BUDGET FOR A COUNCIL VOTE.

JULIA DIXON EVANS, KPBS NEWS.

>> YOU SEE HOW WE STARTED FROM HER PIANO AND MY DRUM MACHINE AND EVEN THE SELF-PORTRAITS AND MAKE PEOPLE FEEL LIKE OKAY, WE ARE IN A SAFE SPACE.

AND THIS IS OUR FAMILY.

>> THE MORE THAN 130 WORKS OF ART FEATURE BLACK AMERICAN AND DAIS BORA ARTISTS FROM THE U.S.

AND CARIBBEAN.

CULTURAL CONNECTION AND THE CALL TO ACTION IS THE MUSE BEHIND MANY PIECES.

INCLUDING THIS WORK BY HANK WILLIS THOMAS.

>> THE PIECE IN THE EXHIBITION THAT IS ALL OF THESE UNIFORMS.

AND HE CREATED, YOU KNOW, HOW THE CONCEPT OF HOW YOU DON'T HAVE A NAME THAT'S YOURS AND I MEAN, HE'S SO.

>> IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.

>> REALLY SMART.

REALLY SMART.

>> YOU WILL NOT ONLY FIND THE DEAN COLLECTION, YOU WILL ALSO SEE PIECES FROM LOCAL ARTISTS LIKE MJ AND OSCAR WHOSE ART IS FEATURED IN THE HOMETOWN HEROES INSTALLATION.

>> WE ARE SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS ALL THE DIVERSITY ON THE WALLS.

>> HOMETOWN HEROES TO THE SHOW.

ANOTHER THING HIGHLIGHTING OUR PERSONAL COLLECTION BUT IT'S ANOTHER THING TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE CREATIVE'S THAT BUILT THE CITY AND A LOT OF THOSE PLACES.

>> GIANTS IS ON DISPLAY OF CONTEMPORARY ART SAN DIEGO THROUGH AUGUST 9th.

FOR KPBS NEWS.

>>> WE HAVE AN ACTIVE FORECAST FOR MOST OF CALIFORNIA ON THE SOUTHERN FRINGE OF THE IMPACT AREA BUT THERE WILL BE SOME SHOWERS TO THE NORTH AND MAYBE A STRAY SHOWER OR TWO TUESDAY NIGHT FOR US.

IT WILL BE BREEZY OUT THERE.

THE STORM SYSTEM TO THE NORTH, MAYBE A STRAY SHOWER TUESDAY NIGHT.

IT WILL BE A COMFORTABLE LATE PART OF THE WEEK BEFORE ANOTHER CHANCE FOR SHOWERS FOR SOME OF US INTO THE WEEKEND.

TONIGHT, 59 DEGREES, PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND TO STAY PRETTY DECENT STORM SYSTEM.

SOAKING RAIN AND THUNDERSTORM POSSIBLE IN SAN FRANCISCO IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY.

EVEN SOME SNOW INTO THE SIERRA.

BUT FOR US, YOU CAN SEE THE ACTION IS TO THE NORTH.

DURING THE DAY, WINDY WEATHER IN THE CANYONS AND THE PASSES AND INCREASING BIT OF CLOUD COVER HERE AS THE SYSTEM DRAWS NEAR.

BUT TAKE A LOOK AT THE FUTURE RADAR AND SATELLITE.

WE WILL PRESS PAUSE TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

ALL TO THE NORTH, INTO THE AFTERNOON A COUPLE OF SHOWERS AROUND LOS ANGELES.

CLOUDS INCREASING TO ORANGE COUNTY AND HERE IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME SCATTERED OR SPOTTY SHOWERS TUESDAY EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT.

THERE WILL BE A LITTLE BIT OF ACTION OUT THERE SO WE ARE GOING TO HOPE FOR SOME RAIN AS LONG AS YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING REQUIRING DRY WEATHER IS IS A NET WIN FOR US.

ANY RAIN THIS TIME OF YEAR IS A GOOD THING BEFORE WE REALLY COMMIT TO THE DRY SEASON.

WHICH IS INEVITABLY COMING SOON.

WINDY OUT THERE FOR WEDNESDAY AND DRYER BY THEN.

THE BIG PICTURE FOR THE SNOW SYSTEM.

MEANINGFUL SNOW IN THE SIERRA, DECENT RAIN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INTO PARTS OF THE CENTRAL VALLEY, SHOWERS IN L.A.

AND JUST ON THAT RAZOR-SHARP POINT WITH SHOWERS NORTH BUT NOT NECESSARILY FOR ALL OF US.

WE DO SEE SHOWERS AND IF WE DO IT WILL BE LOST BETWEEN THE DAYTIME FORECAST.

TUESDAY NIGHT IS OUR OPPORTUNITY.

AND THEN CLOUDS AGAIN AT THE END OF THE WEEK, WE GET A LITTLE COOLER FOR SATURDAY AND WE MAY EVEN SEE SOME SHOWERS IN THE INLAND AREAS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY OUT OF THAT.

BUT AGAIN IN THE SHORT TERM, TUESDAY NIGHT WOULD BE OUR OPPORTUNITY FOR A BRIEF SHOWER.

WINDY OUT THERE, COOL AS WELL IF NOT COLD FOR MID TO LATE APRIL.

AND THEN WE GO INTO THE DESERT, AGAIN COMFORTABLE WITH HER FOR THE MOST PART AVOIDING ANY SEARING HEAT.

MAYBE A STRAY SPRINKLE TUESDAY NIGHT.

PRETTY DECENT DAY WEDNESDAY, AGAIN COOL AGAIN INTO SATURDAY WITH ANOTHER SYSTEM BRINGING US PRETTY HEALTHY ONSHORE FLOW.

I'M GEOFF CORNISH FOR KPBS NEWS.

>>> SOME WINE MIGHT NOT BE AS AMERICAN AS YOU THINK.

>> THIS IS THE WORST IT'S EVER BEEN.

I'VE NEVER SEEN IT THIS BAD BEFORE.

>> Reporter: A STARK WARNING FROM CALIFORNIA WINE COUNTRY.

>> YOU CAN SEE VINEYARDS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN PRUNED AND A LOT OF DEADLINES.

>> Reporter: A FIFTH-GENERATION GROWER SAYS DEMAND HAS SHIFTED NOT IN THEIR FAVOR.

>> INSTEAD OF BUYING GRAPES FROM GROWERS HERE IN LODI AND THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA THEY STOPPED AND FOUND CHEAPER WINE.

>> Reporter: MORE GRAPES ARE GOING UNSOLD.

SOME LARGE COMPANIES TURNED TO CHEAPER IMPORTED OPTIONS.

>> YOU DON'T SEE FRENCH WINE WITH AUSTRALIAN WINE.

>> Reporter: AT THE CENTER OF THE ISSUE WHAT CAN LEGALLY BE CALLED AMERICAN WINE IN THE STATE.

AMERICAN LABELED WINE ONLY MAKES UP 75% OF U.S.

GRAPES.

THE REST ALLOWED TO COME FROM IMPORTED SOURCES.

>> WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT'S COMING FROM.

>> Reporter: A NEW ASSEMBLY BILL WOULD CHANGE ALL OF THAT.

REQUIRING WINE TO BE SOLD IN CALIFORNIA TO BE MADE WITH 100% U.S.

GRAPES.

>> CALL IT SOMETHING ELSE BUT DON'T CALL IT AMERICAN WINE.

WHEN IT IS 25% IMPORTED.

>> Reporter: LARGE COMPANIES ARGUING THE BILL WILL TAKE AWAY CRITICAL FLEXIBILITY IN THE CASE OF CLIMATE EVENTS OR SHIFTING CONSUMER DEMAND.

>> THE FLEXIBILITY IS THAT THEY CAN BRING IN THIS CHEAP WINE AND KEEP THE PRICE DOWN.

>> IT'S NOT THE SILVER BULLET THAT IS GOING TO FIX THINGS BUT THE WINE INDUSTRY HAS BEEN STRUGGLING.

>> WHAT IS YOUR HOPE OUT OF THIS BILL?

>> THAT ANYTHING THAT SAYS AMERICAN ON THE LABEL IS 100% U.S.

100% AMERICAN.

I THINK IT WILL FORCE WINERIES TO START LOOKING AT GRAPES AGAIN IN CALIFORNIA.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE ALL HOPE.
