"Modeled on laws in California, Hawaii and other states, the legislation would have granted nearly a dozen medical and funeral-related rights to unmarried partners who register with the state. Among the rights: to be treated as an immediate family member during hospital visits, to make health care decisions for incapacitated partners and to make private visits in nursing homes."

Anyone should be able to specify anyone to make these decisions for them, except medical "rights," whatever that is. Up to the hospital.

He's about done.  If goes on to veto the minimum wage bill he has no shot at being re-elected... Zero.

Hopefully he vetoes that too. Otherwise, why run for re-election?

I doubt many people who earned minimum wage were going to vote for him anyway.

I would have preferred that min. wage bill pull through.

This is why poor people need to be disenfranchised. Welfare whores.
