Pro-gay marriage group spent big in Vermont
Vermont Freedom to Marry says it spent more than $293,000 lobbying lawmakers and the public on the same-sex marriage bill that was approved by the Legislature, far outspending its opponents.
In lobbyist disclosure forms filed Monday with the Vermont Secretary of State’s office, the pro-gay marriage group reported spending about $65,000 between April 1 and June 30 — some of it in the week leading up to the Legislature’s April 7 vote.
Take It to The People, which opposed the measure, spent about $10,000 altogether but none in the reporting period.

First Openly Gay News Anchor Put Out to Pasture?

The Boston Herald reports that while the station said this:
“This is what he wanted to do…It was his decision. He’s been a terrific newscaster and he’s a good friend of mine and all I can do is wish him well.”
Prince’s take was this:
“Obviously, it’s their decision. While I was certainly a little stunned, I understood it very well. Am I disappointed? Yeah.”
Which doesn’t sound much like a guy who made his own decision, does it?
