Villagers in New Paltz have delivered a stinging rebuke to the lone member of council who opposed same-sex marriage when mayor Jason West announced last year he would perform weddings for gay couples.

In village elections this week, Trustee Robert Hebel was not only rejected in his bid to return to council but he got fewer than 100 of the 700 votes cast, coming in third in a three person race.

Hebel, a Republican, had been on council for 12 years.
