New Paltz mayor charged

The gay-friendly mayor of New Paltz, NY, who began performing same-sex marriages last week, was charged today with 19 criminal counts by the Ulster C. D.A. The district attoryney acted even though state Attorney General Eliott Spitzer said yesterday that gay marriages should be legal and that he would take an official stand on the issue later in the week.
