Editorial Calls Out GOP for Blocking Tax Extension Vote
"As in past years, a balanced budget is being held hostage by a Republican minority in the Assembly and Senate that has been empowered by the two-thirds requirement to pass the budget," a Fresno Bee editorial states. "The Republicans are wrong to stand in the way of a statewide vote on extending taxes that are due to expire," the editorial continues, adding, "It's time for both parties to step back from the political posturing and find common ground that's in the best interests of all Californians."
