"Gay Marriage" subject to People's Veto in Maine

From Beetle Blogger:

Maine, Same-sex “Marriage” and the People’s Veto.

Maine has a People’s Veto.

The people will now have the chance to have a referendum. There will be NO same-sex marriage in Maine if the people have their say. If the signatures are gathered, we’ll be on the ballot in the November election.

The key thing to understand is that once a filing is made to move a People’s Veto, the law does not go into effect. Therefore, unlike California, you will not have any same-sex marriages in the interim before the vote.

You can’t file until the adjournment of the legislative session, which is mid-June. No, regular law passed by the Maine legislature goes into effect until 90 days after adjournment. You must file within 10 days and then have the rest of that time to gather signatures.
