California Dems Won't Honor Boy Scouts

Subject: txt cali bdd vals -
Thousands of Boy Scouts across California will be gathering this weekend to celebrate the 100th anniversary of scouting in the Golden State – but they won’t have the blessing of Democrats in the California Legislature.

Assembly Democrats killed a proposed resolution honoring the Boy Scouts of America. The measure died in the Assembly Judiciary Committee on a party-line vote. Three Republican voted to support the Boy Scouts — seven Democrats voted against the measure.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Committee chairman Mike Feuer led the opposition – “citing the Scouts’ history of not allowing gays to serve in their leadership.”

Republican Assemblyman Curt Hagman is a former Eagle Scout. He called the Democrats’ action “kind of crazy.”

“With all the resolutions we do here, they’re not all perfect,” Hagman told the Times. “If you don’t support it, just [don’t vote for] it, but to oppose the Boy Scouts on their birthday seems silly.”
