Cuomo: State Senate Will Hold Gay Marriage Vote

Source: NY1

With just days until the current legislative session ends in Albany, state lawmakers are dealing with some major issues.

Governor Andrew Cuomo said at a press conference today that there will be a vote on same-sex marriage sometime before next Monday.

Democratic Senators Carl Kruger, Joseph Addabbo and Shirley Huntley, who was previously undecided on same-sex marriage, will now vote in favor of its legalization.

...snip...

Only four Republicans senators -- James Alesi, Greg Ball, Roy McDonald and Stephen Saland -- remain undecided.

It's been suggested that voted might be getting traded in exchange for retaining partisan redistricting.

6. My Senator, Patrick Gallivan

is still against. He needs more pressure, if any of y'all are in the mood to write.
