Moody’s Investors Service downgraded Friday California’s general-obligation bonds to A2 from A1.

Approval of two-thirds of the Legislature is required to pass a budget, and to raise revenues.” Moody’s became the third ratings house to downgrade California’s general-obligation bonds this year, following similar moves by S&P ‘s and Fitch Ratings.
