Apr. 7th, 2009 11:52 amWCAX in Burlington (VT) has a nasty habit of rotating their stories out quickly, so I'm pasting the entire text behind the cut. But their original story is here, for as long as they leave it up.
( The upshot: the VT legislature overrode the veto in one morning, both House and Senate, so Vermont is the first state to legislate gay marriage. )
