Indy Week’s Bob Geary poses a great question about – and to – the Democratic candidates for Governor and Lt. Governor. Today, five of the Democratic candidates released video messages opposing the Marriage Amendment that will appear on the May 8 primary ballot.
First this from Geary:
The two Lt. Gov. candidates have gone farther in their public comments, saying the amendment should be defeated so that state law can be changed.
Then Geary continues:
No such forward-looking remarks as yet from the gubernatorial candidates. State Rep. Bill Faison, former Congressman Bob Etheridge and the sitting Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton are standing pat on current state law as far as I know — and I have queried them on the subject to be sure they’re not advocating for change.
Great question from Geary. If someone believes the amendment is bad, then why would they not shout from the mountain tops about the need to change state law?
Get informed. Here are the websites of the two key advocates.
