Arizona: Bee, Kolbe Part Ways, Won’t Say Why

Tucson Citizen: Jim Kolbe will no longer play a role in the campaign of Tim Bee who is running for Kolbe's former seat in the U.S. House.

But either way, Bee must be regretting his involvement in this sticky, no-win mess. Kolbe is gay. The initiative passed the state Senate with 16 votes - the bare minimum needed. As Senate president, Bee voted last. It was his support that sent the measure to the ballot.  But Bee hasn't given a lot of thought to the underlying issue. In a visit this week with the Tucson Citizen Editorial Board a question was asked: Why shouldn't gay couples have the same rights as heterosexual couples?  Bee was speechless.
