“An interesting shift in political strategy and policy negotiations was felt through the Capitol on Friday, with news that a rising star in Democratic circles will immediately resign his seat in the state Senate,” the Fresno Bee reports.
“The news came as a complete surprise in the Capitol community. Most notably, it removes the Democratic supermajority in the statehouse before the party’s legislators ever got a chance to flex their newly won political muscles.”
