West Virginia's 'religious freedom' bill heads to governor's desk after quick pass through legislature
Fox News
West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice is expected to sign the "Equal Protection for Religion Act" into law just days after the bill passed through the legislature at lightning speed.
Before voting no, Democratic Sen. Mike Caputo of Marion County said he had "major, major, major concerns" about how quickly the bill moved through the legislature, according to The Associated Press, adding that measures typically have to be read multiple times on different days prior to voting.
"Quite frankly, I think this is hogwash, and I think the way this has been spun is disingenuous and upsetting," Caputo said.
