But optimism that the state would soon find a means to balance its books and kick-start California’s spiraling economy was scant after the Legislature’s latest failed budget vote. The Assembly split mostly along party lines Tuesday night in rejecting $11.3 billion in tax hikes and $7 billion in spending cuts, leading to Wednesday’s vote by the three-member panel.
The Legislature said it will continue attempts to hammer out a balanced budget and avoid a prolonged fiscal crisis, which ingloriously defined last summer’s legislative session.
The memory of last summer has left some wondering about the state of future projects in Glendale, including a $3.3-million package approved by California for traffic signal synchronization on the city’s major streets.
