It appears that the marriage amendment will pass. If my early understanding is incorrect please disregard. However, as it appears the marriage amendment will pass, I want to take the first opportunity as a taxpayer to order the county board and city council to suspend all partner benefits at the earliest possible opportunity in accordance with Wisconsin law. Thank you and good night.

I'm speechless.
