Republicans take control as new Congress convenes. How will it affect California?
Briefly

"California is abruptly going to see its considerable role diminished... it may not be able to summon the sort of legislative muscle it takes to stymie Republican attempts to toughen immigration standards or ease tough energy conservation rules."
"We bring the perspective of the largest state in the country and one that is linked to the rest of our economy and the national welfare," Kiley said.
"Democrats acknowledge that voters sent a clear message in November that they want to see progress for an economy, giving Republicans an opportunity to implement tax cuts and initiatives."
