67 percent or 55 percent?

So, while taking the Metro Gold Line down to downtown LA today (I like the train!), I boned up on all the proposition stuff.

Prop 56 -- reduce the threshold for budget passing from two-thirds to 55%. With all the opponents crying taxes, taxes, taxes, I got to wondering just how many actual votes we're talking about here. So using the Legislature vote count for Prop 55, I tallied up the number of Senators and Assemblyfolk and calculated the different totals to reach a majority.

	Total*	67%	55%	Difference
Assembly	79	53	43	10
Senate	38	25	21	4

*Total number of Assemblyfolk/Senators taken from tally of votes cast on bond measures in Prop 55. This may not be actual totals of CA state legislators

10 votes in the Assembly, 4 votes in Senate. Is the matter of 14 votes one of the keys to solving the state's budgetary gridlock? Is 14 votes the margin that keeps the state from even more evil taxation? Somehow the question seemed different to me once I changed it from 2/3 and 55% to those actual numbers.
