Ada County Ready To Issue Licenses

Phil McGrane, chief deputy Ada County clerk, said the county is prepared to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples if it gets the go-ahead from the Idaho Attorney General’s office, but it hasn’t heard anything yet. “It looks like we’re waiting for the 9 ^th Circuit,” he said. “I’m standing at the marriage license desk as we speak.” The room is filled with reporters, McGrane said, and one same-sex couple has arrived to wait for a possible license. If the 9 ^th Circuit acts within the next hour, licenses could conceivably be issued today. But if it’s later than 5 p.m. Boise time, Ada County’s courthouse will be closed until Tuesday at 8 a.m. That’s because Monday is a state holiday – Columbus Day – and all state and county offices will be closed/ Betsy Russell , Eye on Boise.
