How did YOUR legislators vote re same-sex marriage amendment?


Roll call vote to recess the (Massachusetts) constitutional convention


Associated Press/Boston Globe | November 9, 2006

Here's how members of the Legislature voted to recess the constitutional convention to Jan. 2, the last day of the legislative year, without taking action on a proposed constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. The vote was 109-87 in favor of a recess. A "yes" vote is in favor of a recess; a "no" vote is against.

6. I have a great delegation
both voted Yes

But I really didn't have to look, both Havern and Marzilli are active and available in our community and I knew how they would vote.
