ALBANY—With three weeks and a day left in the legislative session, advocates are once again pushing for a State Senate vote on same-sex marriage. State Senator Tom Duane, the bill’s main sponsor in the chamber, said he was completely “confident,” but in a back-and-forth with reporters, dodged specifics.
“I don’t want to seem overconfident, but I’m confident it’s coming to the floor, I’m confident it’s going to win, I’m confident we’re going to have the vast majority of Democratic votes and several Republican votes as well,” Duane said.
He was asked which Republicans support the measure, because none have gone on the record in favor.
