Delaware: Marriage equality bill heads to Senate committee today

The Delaware Senate Executive Committee will hear its marriage equality bill today at 2:30pm at a special session where it's the only item on the agenda. 
 
While the bill is expected to pass by a 4-2 vote in committee, the proposal faces a tight vote in the full chamber. Last week brought some good news when one state Senator flipped into the "yes" column, but the latest head count shows the bill only squeaking by 11-10 in the full chamber, with three Democrats opposed.
 
The bill passed 23-18 in the Delaware House last Tuesday and Gov. Jack Markell has promised to sign it. 
 
If you live in Delaware: please reach out to your state Senator this morning even if their "yes" vote has already been predicted.
