Mayors dodge vote on gay marriage
A deeply divided gathering of the nation's mayors could not reach consensus earlier this week on a proposed resolution opposing a federal constitutional ban on gay marriage. The U.S. Conference of Mayors voted 46-44 to table the resolution, and an attempt to revive it was also defeated, 47-45. Stamford, Connecticut, Mayor Dannel Malloy, a Democrat running for governor in that state and an opponent of a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, said he believed the mayors wanted to avoid the issue in a year many of them are seeking re-election.
