Now dominating the state legislature?
The Dems have dominated the state legislature since 1959 except for 69 to 71 when the Republicans took control of both houses and a brief period from 94-96 when the Republicans controlled the Assembly.
The Democrats can pretty much take credit for everything good and bad.
- w1ntermute 14y agoAs of the latest elections, Democrats have a supermajority in both houses of the state legislature, allowing them to do anything they want (including raise taxes) without Republican approval. Until now, many of California's problems have been blamed by the Democrats on Republican obstructionism. The last time any party had such a supermajority was in 1933, when it was the Republicans. The last time the Democrats did was in 1883.
- nhebb 14y agoWhat he probably means is that California requires a supermajority to raise taxes. After the last election, the Democrats have that in both houses now.
