The New York Senate session is now over for the day. The Democrats gaveled in, acknowledged that the bills passed in yesterday’s special session were invalid because they weren’t passed concurrently in the House and Senate, Dems gave a few quick speeches, and then they gaveled out. So, what could happen next?
- For the Governor to pass his priority bills he will need to call back both the House and Senate.
- To resolve the leadership issue, either the courts or some form of arbitration will need to decide who the majority leader is.
- We continue to hear that our grassroots efforts on behalf of marriage equality are effective and we’ll continue to mobilize our members in targeted districts.
From what we’re hearing, even though there is a delay in passing the marriage bill, the bill is still alive. There is a long list of legislation that must be passed soon and that should prompt some resolution in the next few weeks. [Link]
