Voting Record and Issues
Since 1991 Glick has focused mainly on two policy initiatives. In 2007, Glick blocked the building of a recycling plant on the West side of Manhattan. In 2008, Glick co-sponsored A 8590, a bill allowing same sex marriage. The bill amends the domestic relations law to prohibit legal discrimination based on the gender of the couple and prohibits denying a marriage license on the grounds of the sex of the parties.

Famous quotes containing the words voting, record and/or issues:
“All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong, with moral questions; and betting naturally accompanies it. The character of the voters is not staked. I cast my vote, perchance, as I think right; but I am not vitally concerned that right should prevail. I am willing to leave it to the majority.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Death is another milestone on their way.
With laughter on their lips and with winds blowing round them
They record simply
How this one excelled all others in making driving belts.”
—Stephen Spender (1909–1995)
“I can never bring you to realize the importance of sleeves, the suggestiveness of thumb-nails, or the great issues that may hang from a boot-lace.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
