California lawmaker recalled, stops Democratic supermajority
San Francisco Chronicle, Jun 5, 2018, Don Thompson, Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Orange County-area state senator who voted to raise gas taxes is out of a job after Tuesday's primary election, denying Senate Democrats a supermajority for the rest of the year.
Democratic state Sen. Josh Newman will be replaced by former Republican Assemblywoman Ling Ling Chang after he was recalled for voting to raise gas taxes last year.
Nearly two-thirds of voters recalled Newman, of Fullerton, over his vote last year to increase fuel and vehicle taxes to raise about $5 billion a year for road repairs.
Replacing him with Chang keeps Senate Democrats below a two-thirds supermajority needed to pass tax and fee increases.
