It's a Boy! For Assemblyman Molinaro

ALBANY—As the debate on the same-sex marriage legislation goes on, an assemblyman just handed me a note saying that Assemblyman Marc Molinaro—who has been absent from the legislative chamber this week—is celebrating the birth of his first son.

Jack Henry Molinaro was born at 5:43 p.m. today at Vassar Brothers Medical Center in Poughkeepsie, a strapping 7 pounds, 5 ounces. Jack joins Marc as well as his older sister, Abigail, and Marc's wife Christy. All, I hear, are doing well.

"Amazing," Molinaro texts.
