While House Speaker Brian Bosma is taking heat for shifting the controversial gay marriage ban to a new committee for salvage, he is solely blaming another member – Rep. Dan Leonard, R-Huntington -- for the predicament.
Leonard was one of 9 Republicans on the Indiana House Judiciary Committee where the proposed constitutional amendment was assigned.
The Democrats on the committee were four known "no's" on the measure. That meant if three Republicans opposed it, the amendment would be defeated.
One GOP member made his opposition clear but two others were publicly undecided.
