| Description | A suburban political candidate said he regrets saying the nation's attitude toward gay marriage will change because older people eventually will die.
"It was a poor choice of words," said Rich Voltair, a Round Lake Beach Democrat running for the 62nd District seat in the state House. "I definitely realize that."
Voltair's mea culpa came Thursday during an endorsement interview at the Daily Herald's Lake County office. He is running against two-term Republican incumbent Sandy Cole of Grayslake.
Cole did not attend the session. When reached by telephone afterward, she said the comment is one of the things separating her from Voltair. |
