Description | PHOENIX — Efforts to enact a constitutional ban on same-sex marriages suffered a serious — and potentially fatal — setback Wednesday.
A measure to put the question on the November ballot fell one vote short in the Senate. Foes said the proposal is unnecessary.

There is the necessary 16th vote: Sen. Karen Johnson, R-Mesa, is on record as supporting the ban. |
