LAT tells a whopper

Here's a quote from a recent LAT editorial: "Republicans have held up [California's budget] for nearly the first quarter of the current year."

Either that or Democrats have. It takes a two-thirds majority of both houses of the California legislature to raise taxes, which is how Dems hope to close the $15 billion gap in California's finances. There are not that many Dems. Republicans in the legislature have said they will not support a budget that raises taxes. Dems have insisted. Which one is delaying the budget?
