Description | A proposed constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage needed the votes of 50 legislators in two consecutive sessions to make it on the 2008 ballot as a referendum.
In January at the end of the last legislative session, the measure passed its first convention with 62 votes, but it fell short today with 45 votes. Here is a list of legislators who changed their position in the five months between the two Constitutional Conventions:
Representatives
Christine Canavan, D-Brockton
Paul Kujawski, D-Webster
Paul Loscocco, R-Holliston
Robert Nyman, D-Hanover
Richard Ross, R-Wrentham
James Valee, D-Franklin
Brian Wallace, D-South Boston
Senators
Gale Candaras, D-Wilbraham (Candaras was a representative in January when she voted in favor of the amendment.)
Michael Morrissey, D-Quincy |
