Live From New York: Marriage Equality Vote
Today the New York state senate will meet in a special session, where they could vote on the marriage equality bill. Last week, Governor David Paterson called for the extraordinary legislative session and put the bill on the senate’s agenda.
Several state senators and other elected officials have joined countless community members and residents in calling for a vote on the bill, which passed the assembly in May. A report in Sunday’s New York Times quotes Sen. Diane Savino of Staten Island as saying there is a 70% chance the bill will come to the floor on Tuesday.
