Conway Refuses to Appeal Same-Sex Marriage Decision

Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear (D) “will hire outside attorneys to appeal a federal judge’s ruling requiring Kentucky to recognize same-sex marriages from outside the state,” the Lexington Herald Leader reports.

“His announcement came minutes after a tearful Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway said his office will not appeal the ruling, calling it a ‘waste’ of taxpayers’ money.”

Said Conway: “I can only say that I’m doing what I think is right.”
