The bill to add sexual orientation as a suspect classification stalled, here is the deal from a source who was in Springfield:
Obama worked hard for this group and got Meeks to agree to be vote 30 or 31. Not easy for Meeks to do, but he did it.Hynes took a walk. Senator Maloney would do whatever Hynes asked him to do, and so far Maloney is a whole lot of no. Same with Viverito. If Madigan/Hynes asked Viverito to jump on, don’t you think he would?
Lending credence to the concerns about how hard Hynes will follow up on gay rights bills. More to follow.
