Council commends clerk for refusal

The St. Charles County Council has taken the first of two steps declaring its opposition to the legalizing of same-sex marriages.

On Monday night, the council voted 6-1 for a resolution commending Recorder of Deeds Barbara Hall for her policy of refusing to accept and record affidavits on gay unions.

Next month, the council is expected to pass a measure echoing the Missouri state law that bars homosexual marriages.
