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:
“Common sense should tell us that reading is the ultimate weapon—destroying ignorance, poverty and despair before they can destroy us. A nation that doesn’t read much doesn’t know much. And a nation that doesn’t know much is more likely to make poor choices in the home, the marketplace, the jury box and the voting booth...The challenge, therefore, is to convince future generations of children that carrying a book is more rewarding than carrying guns.”
—Jim Trelease (20th century)
“No record ... can ... name the women of talent who were so submerged by child- bearing and its duties, and by “general housework,” that they had to leave their poems and stories all unwritten.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
“To make life more bearable and pleasant for everybody, choose the issues that are significant enough to fight over, and ignore or use distraction for those you can let slide that day. Picking your battles will eliminate a number of conflicts, and yet will still leave you feeling in control.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
