The Legislatureâs Democratic supermajority put on something of a show Monday as they pretended to pass a new state budget.
There were floor speeches, formal roll call votes and a deluge of self-congratulatory statements after the dayâs activities.
âThe budget weâre sending to Governor Newsom reflects responsible budgeting as the Legislatureâs top priority and makes vital investments in Californiaâs future,â Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon and Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins said in a post-session statement.
However, it was just a sham driven by the state constitutionâs requirement that legislators pass a budget by June 15 or see their salaries suspended.
