California budget deal

The LAT reports this morning that California's legislators have agreed on a budget deal that does not involve new taxes. Legislators will pass the deal today and send it to the governator, whose veto can be overridden if necessary.

The deal could have been made last June but Democrats held out hope that enough Republicans would cave to allow them to pass a tax hike. Cudos to Republicans for resisting.
