Quick note: for anyone who is interested in what's happening in Augusta, I cannot recommend following Susan M. Cover's writing highly enough. She knows her onions and does an excellent job reporting news from the Statehouse quickly and accurately.
=================================================

Last Sunday's Portland Press Herald ran this editorial regarding Maine Rep. Les Fossel's "compromise" domestic partnership bill versus Sen. Dennis Damon's proposed same sex marriage bill.

    From the Portland Press Herald, 1/25/09:

    The Legislature should welcome this public policy debate, not squelch it with compromise.
    There are issues on which both sides can split the difference and come away with a deal that everyone can live with.

    At this point, same-sex marriage is not one of them.
