Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis has been arrested and taken to jail for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples this afternoon.

According to a City Hall News  report , Bloomberg had promised before the Senate vote to financially support any Republican who voted in favor of gay “marriage.” The other three Republicans, Senators Roy McDonald, Stephen Saland , and James Alesi , al...
