In the wake of a defiant clerk’s release from jail, Gov. Steve Beshear is reiterating that he won’t call a special session for the Kentucky General Assembly to overhaul the state’s process for licensing marriages. Beshear’s remarks came shortly after Rowan County clerk Kim Davis walked out of jail Tuesday. Her supporters have condemned Beshear’s refusal. A handful of clerks sent letters this summer demanding he let the legislature remove clerks from the licensing process. Beshear called it a waste of taxpayer money. All but a handful of clerks have complied since the U.S. Supreme Court effectively legalized same-sex marriages nationwide.
