ALBANY, N.Y. -- Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday banned nonessential, state-funded travel to Indiana over its religious freedom law that critics say opens the door to discrimination against gays and lesbians.

The ban applies to all state agencies and public colleges and universities - meaning students and faculty would not be able to participate in athletic or academic events in Indiana. Exceptions would be made for travel deemed "essential to the enforcement of state law or public health and safety."

2. Now, let me ask you,

why would stsae employees be traveling at state expense to Indiana on non-essential travel? I mean, there is nothing to do there.

Thanks, Andrew. You sure fell a LONG way from the tree.

3. Depositions for trial, conferences (you do know there are liberal bastions)

like Indiana University that hold conferences on international affairs. Indiana University is a global leader on sex studies - the Kinsey Report is just one of many - and they have a profound affect on global laws around the world etc etc etc .

Your sneering disregard for real world issues is stunning.

Fyi, I live in IL. No dog I this fight.
