2. I just read an op-ed that argued "allowing" was the wrong word for gay rights..

3. Trouble is, no one knows how this will go because the GOPalways kept the question off the table.
So, no voting members have ever expressed their opinion on this hot issue.

No one knows what will happen.

I no longer live in NY but I think this is coming up in Connecticut, too.

I got a call from the National Organization for Marriage yesterday, which is pretty funny, considering I'm divorced!

Their robocall claimed there's a pending vote on this.

I think both states have better chances of passing than most other states, but, I don't know if it will be enough.

5. Most people around here are not pleased with him
I'm sorry to say....

I had high hopes when he first came on, but when he spent a ton of money to have his office redecorated, while instituting a ton of taxes on consumers because of our budget problems and cutting health care even further, again hitting those who can least afford it--that left a bad impression.
