the CA congress hasn't over-rode (overriden? overrid?) a veto since somewhere around 1980. the point of passing the bill but not overriding the veto is that way the congresspeople can signal to their constituents that they are progressive but they don't actually have to change anything or make anything better.

I wonder what happened

the Assembly has been in Democratic hands since the 1970 election

The Senate has been under Democratic control since 1970
