The Illinois legislature will adjourn this evening without voting on a bill to redefine marriage, according to sources in Springfield. A number of well-placed sources say the House will end its session today without further action, because the bill could not pass.

Rosemary Centi, a Catholic, cited her religious beliefs as the reason for stepping down when the state’s same-sex “marriage” law takes effect on July 24, reported  CBS 6 News . But while she will no longer officiate marriages , a task she performed for ten years, Centi will remain a clerk and will issue licenses to both homosexual and heterosexual couples. Her boss expressed discomfort with her decision as a type of disobedience to state law. “I was surprised because we all take the oath of civil service and promise to follow the law,” Town Supervisor Ken Runion told the local news service. “Regardless of personal beliefs, same-sex marriage is now legal and we have to follow the law.” Before Centi announced her resignation, Barker town clerk Laura Fotusky had announced her resignation...
