When Will The Budget Pass?
Not on time. Today, June 15th, is the Constitutional deadline for passing the budget. According to the Sacramento Bee:
Legislators have made that deadline only four times since 1977, all during the 1980s, according to the Department of Finance. The last time was back in 1986.
