Two thirds vote needed to raise fees and the taxes. The GOP’s clout gone? Not quite. The Rats can pass the budget by a simple majority but fees as well as taxes now need a two thirds vote so in practice the Dems are screwed. They still need GOP votes to increase fees and taxes and won’t be getting them any time soon.
