California has gone further left by the election of a governor who is even more wacko than Jerry Brown and the veto-proof majorities in both houses of the state legislature the voters gave the Democrats.
According to U.S. News & World Report:
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Democrats have won two Republican-held California state Senate seats in the Central Valley, giving the party veto-proof supermajorities in both chambers of the Legislature.
Vote totals updated since Election Day made winners Monday of Melissa Hurtado and Assemblywoman Anna Caballero.
Hurtado won the open 12th District seat while Caballero defeated Republican Sen. Andy Vidak in the neighboring 14th District. Both are in the Fresno area. Vidak, of Hanford, has held the seat since a special election in 2013.
The victories give Democrats a two-thirds advantage in the 40-member Senate. The party also has that advantage in the 80-seat Assembly. The party also holds every statewide office, led by Gov.-elect Gavin Newsom.
Two-thirds majorities allow Democrats to raise taxes, suspend legislative rules and override vetoes without Republican votes.The people in Commiefornia have no one else to blame but themselves for perpetuating the essentially one-party state government. Apparently, the voters want the state to do everything for them short of wiping their asses. That may soon come as well, considering how things are going.
Small wonder many people, including me, voted with their feet and left the state.
Welcome to utopia, folks!
