>>> WE ARE IN LIMBO RIGHT NOW.

>> Reporter: SAN DIEGO REGIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE CEO SAYS OSHA PULLING BACK GUIDANCE, SOME OWNERS ARE CONFUSED AND FRUSTRATED, BUT IT'S A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

>> WHAT THEY DO TENDS TO MAKE SENSE, AND THAT'S THE REASON THE GOVERNOR IN CALIFORNIA PUBLIC HEALTH WAITED AND SAID WHAT YOU PUT OUT THERE DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AT ALL IS A GO BACK AND FIND A WAY TO MAKE THIS MORE UNDERSTANDABLE, SO YES.

ARE BACK IN CALIFORNIA LIFTS NEARLY ALL COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS, STATE HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY VACCINATED RESIDENTS DON'T HAVE TO WEAR A MASK INDOORS WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS, LIKE WHEN WRITING PUBLIC TRANSIT, OR IN HOSPITALS AND SCHOOLS.

THEY'RE HOPING THAT WHEN THE CAL OSHA BOARD RECONVENES, THEY WILL ADOPT SIMILAR TO GALATIANS 4 VACCINATED WORKERS.

>> Reporter: IS EXACTLY WHAT BELMONT PARK OFFICIALS ARE DOING RIGHT NOW, HOLDING THE COURSE, WHICH MEANS HAVING EMPLOYEES VACCINATED AND UNVACCINATED TO WEARING MASKS.

>> Reporter: $610 BILLION WORTH OF PROPERTY IS AT RISK, AND PUBLIC AGENCIES NEED TO STOP ENCOURAGING GROWTH IN WILDFIRES ZONES.

UC BERKELEY RESEARCHER KAREN CHAPPELL SAYS CLIMATE FRIENDLY PLANNING POLICIES ALSO KEEP PEOPLE AND PROPERTIES SAFER.

SHE SAYS THERE IS NOT A CONCERTED PUBLIC-POLICY EFFORT TO MAKE THINGS BETTER AFTER A FIRE.

>> WE TAKE THE LOW HANGING FRUIT , AND WE JUST KIND OF, LET'S REBUILD.

THERE IS NO THOUGHT, THERE IS NO PREPARATION.

WE ALREADY KNOW THAT A DOLLAR IN MITIGATION COSTS CAN SAVE 3 DOLLARS IN RECOVERY COSTS, BUT WE HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT MITIGATION IN TERMS OF HOME HARDENING, FUEL BREAKS.

AND WITH ONE OF THE LOWEST FIREARM TOTALITY RATES IN THE COUNTRY, WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO USE EVERY TOOL WE HAVE TO DEFEND OUR LAWS.

>> CALIFORNIA'S ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE IS ASKING THE APPEALS COURT TO STAY THE DISTRICT COURT'S RULING, WHICH WOULD LEAVE THE LOSS IN PLACE DURING THE APPEALS PROCESS.

WHEN THE DEPUTIES APPROACHED THE WOMAN, SHE PULLED AWAY FROM THE STATEMENTS DEAD.

THEN ACCORDING TO THE STATEMENT, OTHER PROTESTERS BEGAN ATTACKING DEPUTIES.

ONE OF THE BODY CAMERAS WAS STOMPED ON BY PROTESTERS, AND ANOTHER STOLEN, THE STATEMENT SAID.

HOWEVER, THE WOMAN, MARGARITA, AND OTHER PROTESTERS, SAY THE SHERIFF'S STATEMENT IS INACCURATE.

THEN HE ASKED HOW MANY DEPUTIES FROM EACH CATEGORY HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN A DEPUTY INVOLVED SHOOTING.

THE ANSWER?

ONE FROM THE SUSTAINED GROUP, AND ONE FROM THE UNFOUNDED GROUP.

THESE ARE DEPUTIES WHO ARE STILL WORKING IN THE DEPARTMENT, CONFIRMED FOR SURE.

HE SAID THE GROUP IS TOOTHLESS, AND HE NEEDS TO BE REFORMED.

MOVING AHEAD, HE SAYS IT'S ABOUT MAKING SERIOUS CHANGES IN POLICY.

HE SAYS TAXPAYERS SHOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF CHANGE, BECAUSE THEY ARE ON THE HOOK WHEN LOCAL GOVERNMENT HAS TO PAY OUT CLAIMS.

>> WE HAVE TO GET RID OF THE BAD APPLES IN ORDER TO SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY, AND OUR HUMANITY, AND OUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS, AND LIVES.
