City Councilman Scott Griggs has gotten a resolution supporting marriage equality on an upcoming council agenda. Mayor Mike Rawlings tells the Morning News today that the issue is a waste of the council’s time:
This afternoon, Rawlings stressed that he is “an unequivocal supporter of marriage equality.”
But the Dallas City Council should not spend its meetings debating political questions that it has no power over, he said.
“I don’t want to be talking about late-term abortions, or gun control, or GITMO,” he said.
