摘要：Success in California politics can be difficult to define, so perspectives on the 2016 legislative year vary. Those who value a stable and disciplined state budget are pleased because Gov. Jerry Brown again resisted new spending proposals and squirreled away excess revenue into the reserve fund. Advocates for aggressive efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions savored victory with the passage of SB 32 (Pavley, Chapter 249, Statutes of 2016), which ratchets up state goals. Labor interests scored major wins, increasing the minimum wage to $15 per hour and requiring overtime for farmworkers. A $2 billion financing plan to help house mentally ill homeless individuals, which the League supported, also succeeded.
