Similar Stories to Same-sex Marriage May Get Albany Vote On Tuesday on Bing News

ALBANY, N.Y. — Gov. David Paterson has urged lawmakers to give final approval to a same-sex marriage bill when they convene in a special session Tuesday. This announcement comes a week after a Maine referendum soundly repealed that state's new same-sex marriage law. Although he can require the Legislature consider the bill, he can't compel lawmakers to vote. Also on Monday, Christine Quinn, New York City's openly gay council speaker, offered an impassioned plea for the state Senate to pass a bill legalizing same-sex marriage. In a rare midyear address to a joint meeting of the Assembly and Senate, Paterson also implored lawmakers use their power to tackle the state's $3.2 billion budget deficit. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE.
