FISCAL CLIFF-TRX-PKG

PKG SCRIPT:

President Obama is back on the road today peddling his plan to avoid the so-

called "fiscal cliff."

In Washington, Republicans and Democrats remain far from a deal.

But Sunday, a slight ray of hope as Mr. Obama and House Speaker Boehner

meeting face-to-face for the first time in nearly a month.

SOT Erskine Bowles

"ANY TIME YOU HAVE TWO GUYS IN THERE TANGO-ING, YOU GOTA CHANCE TO GET IT

DONE."

A source familiar with the meeting told ABC News, "I'd be little encouraged.

Not greatly encouraged - but a little."

Encouraged perhaps because Republicans may be ready to compromise on tax

hikes for the rich.

SOT Bob Corker

"THERE IS A GROWING GROUP OF FOLKS, THAT ARE LOOKING AT THIS AND REALIZING

THAT WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF CARDS AS IT RELATES TO THE TAX ISSUE."

Some GOP lawmakers say they're open to raising more tax revenue, especially

with Democrats putting on the table holding the top tax rate below 39.6

percent.

And the two parties seem to be moving closer on entitlements.

With one leading Democrat saying he's open to means testing for Medicare.

SOT Sen. Dick Durbin

"I DO BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE MEANS TESTING, AND THOSE OF US WITH HIGHER

INCOME IN RETIREMENT SHOULD PAY MORE. THAT COULD BE PART OF THE SOLUTION."

If Washington can't strike a deal by the end of the year, automatic spending

cuts will go into effect and every American will see a tax hike.

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-CLIP

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

That calendar might tell us it's December, but it's going to feel like a late spring or early summer week across Southwest Florida with lots of warmth, humidity, and even a good chance for rain.

The big weather maker for us this week is a cold front that's expected to get caught up over Central Florida Tuesday and Wednesday. For Southwest Florida, a southerly wind will bring in lots of warmth and moisture ahead of this front, resulting in lots of cloudiness along with scattered showers and storms.

We'll even see the chance for a few passing showers today, but the best opportunities for rain this week will come Tuesday and Wednesday. The prime locations for rain today will be deep inland and across northern portions of the viewing area near Charlotte and Desoto County.

Aside from a few passing showers and a littler morning fog, today will be a warm and humid day with temperatures returning to the mid 80s during the afternoon. Humidity levels will also be very high, so you'll definitely be able to feel the moisture in the air for the next few days.

Our sky should stay partly sunny through today, and our winds will be a little stronger with gusts reaching 15-20 mph.

By Tuesday morning, enough moisture will flow in from the southwest to produce some showers and heavier downpours. As we progress through the day Tuesday, we'll even see a chance for some stronger thunderstorms as the atmosphere becomes more unstable. We'll need to watch the radar closely Tuesday for some of these storms that may becomes strong enough to produce high winds and heavy rain.

In fact, Tuesday will be a great day to put the NBC 2 Weather app to good use, giving you access to the only LIVE radar in Southwest Florida. If you don't already have this app on your iPhone or Andriod, just search "NBC2 Wx" in the app store. It's a great tool for tracking storms.

In addition to the chance of rain Tuesday, our sky will stay pretty cloudy, and we'll notice a stiff breeze from the south. Even with all the clouds around, temperatures will warm back into the 80s, but probably closer to low 80s instead of the mid 80s.

Wednesday looks to be another day with scattered rain and lots of clouds, but Thursday looks to be much nicer with more sunshine and a drop in humidity.

I costs a little bit less is definitely a little bit easier, especially now

FAT GIRLS RECEIPT-PKG

Christina Duran and her friends had enjoyed their evening at the Cameo Club

Casino's restaurant, but when the check came, Christina couldn't believe her

eyes.

"I got the bill, and I was like, why does the receipt say, 'fat girls?'"

Duran said.

At first, her friends assumed she was joking.

"I was laughing at her, and she was like, 'I'm serious.' I'm like, 'No, it

does not say fat girls, let me see it,'" said Christina Huerta, who was also

at the table along with Isabel Robles.:17

" was like, 'You're lying,'" Duran said. "And I was like, 'No, I'm

serious. Look at it.' She was like, 'fat girls?'"

"I was like, 'Give me that,' and I'm looking at it. I was like, 'Oh, heck no

,'" Robles said.

When the server returned, he denied having anything to do with it. He

explained that, Jeff, the name on the receipt, must have been the one who

typed the words into the system, but Jeff was gone, so the three demanded to

see a manager.

"He had like a smirk on his face, like if it was funny, but he was trying

not to laugh," Huerta said, describing the manager.

The manager apologized, but his first reaction was to offer 25 percent off

the bill. The ladies were shocked.

"He was like, 'Well, I can do 50 percent,' and we were just like, are you

serious?" Huerta said.

Huerta took a photo of the receipt, and although she was embarrassed, she

wanted others to see it. The women said they can understand why people will

laugh when they first hear this story, but after awhile it's no laughing

matter.

"It's not," Robles said as she started to cry. "It's not funny. I can just

see it over and over again, and I still can't believe it. They labeled us '

fat girls.' It's just something we got to deal with." 1:11

we asked the management at the Cameo Club Casino how something like this could happen.

"I was really appalled, obviously, at the behavior," Bar Manager Jimmy

Seimers said. 1:46

Seimers wasn't working the night this happened, but when he found out, he

questioned Jeff who, Seimers said, admitted to typing the words into the

system.

"I don't think he understood completely because he was busy last night, but

that's just no excuse," Seimers said.

Seimers said Jeff was suspended as management continues to investigate the

incident; he added the investigation would probably not find anything to
