The New York state senate Independent Democratic Conference released a report Tuesday showing that marriage equality would generate at least $391 million for the state in business, tax revenue, and savings within three years of becoming law.
The four members of the breakaway Democratic conference, who all support marriage equality, released the report, "For Love or Money?: The Economic Impact of Marriage Equality in New York," at an afternoon press conference in Albany. They were joined by constituents and advocates including out state assembly member Matt Titone and Ross Levi, executive director of the Empire State Pride Agenda, a member of the New Yorkers United for Marriage Equality coalition.
