Legislative gridlock

Article Abstract:

California is one of the states where legislative ineffectiveness and political gridlock has created problems in relation to budget matters. The problems of immigration, homelessness, defense conversion, plant closures and population growth are becoming a major problem and the legislatures are unable to provide solutions the governments should adopt to tackle them effectively. The politically divided states suffer the most, as the houses are divided among themselves making it difficult for them to reach a political consensus.
