I hear ya!
Instead of headlines that read “One Senate vote needed for passage” I want to see the one that says

Thank you for posting that, I’m embarassed to say I wouldn’t have realized the reality of the situation if you didn’t make it so clear. Only 50% vote needed for budget without tax hikes...

I found out that a 2/3 vote is required to pass the california budget even if it doesn’t have tax hikes. Been the case since 1962.
