Badgett Featured at Brown University Forum on Same-Sex Marriage

CPPA director M.V. Lee Badgett drew laughs when she opened her remarks at a recent debate on legalizing same-sex marriage in Rhode Island, noting “I’ve been outed as an economist.”  Extending marriage privileges to gay and lesbian couples is currently an important policy issue in Rhode Island.  For additional information about the debate, please see the article in the February 20, 2011, issue of The Providence Journal by Edward Fitzpatrick.
