Armbruster Breaks From Republicans In Ohio Senate Vote
State Sen. Jeffry Armbruster of North Ridgeville left the Republican stance to oppose a bill banning same sex marriage and recognition of unmarried partners. The measure passed 18 to 15 in the Senate and awaits legal review before Gov. Taft signs it. The bill bars recognition of out of state marriages and prohibits benefits for state employees' unmarried partners. The article notes the bill’s discrimination concern and cites a Massachusetts ruling on such marriages. Also included is a Humane Society note about a cat named Mr. Magoo adopted from the Lorain County Fairgrounds with medical costs and outreach.
