FILE - In this Dec. 3, 2012, file photo, Freshman Assemblyman Rudy Salas, D-Bakersfield, applauds after he was sworn-in to the Assembly at the Capitol in Sacramento. Both houses of the Legislature met for the first time since Democrats secured supermajorities in both houses. The only Democratic state senator to vote against a California gas and vehicle tax increase is losing his powerful post as a committee chairman. Sen. Steve Glazer of Orinda said Friday, May 12, 2017, that Senate leader Kevin de Leon asked him to step down as chairman of the Governmental Organization committee. Spokesmen for Glazer and de Leon declined say why the Senate leader made the request. It comes a month after Assemblyman Rudy Salas lost his committee chairmanship after voting against the gas tax hike. (AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli, File)
