New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg appeared in Albany this week to amp-up his lobbying efforts for marriage equality and to issue a grave warning to Republican state lawmakers considering voting for hate and discrimination.
Reports the New York Daily News:
Bloomberg pledged to back senators who "stand up for marriage equality" and warned that those who don't could be left without his often-generous financial support. "I certainly will concentrate and focus more on those that do," said Bloomberg, who has donated big bucks to Senate Republicans in recent years.
Also as impressive, during the speech Mayor Bloomberg called marriage equality the single most important issue facing New York state.
The battle is getting heated!
