JACKSON, Miss. — The Latest on Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant signing a bill law that allows religious groups and some private employers to refuse service to gay couples based on religious beliefs (all times local):
New York's governor has banned nonessential state-funded travel to Mississippi after that state's governor signed a law allowing religious groups and some businesses to refuse service to gay couples.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the ban Tuesday, the same day Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant signed the measure, which supporters say will protect those who have religious objections to same-sex marriage.

I hear Syria is taking all the NYer’s it can get.
non-essential Government jobs. Jeez, what a concept.
What a joke. Exactly how much “non-essential travel to Mississippi” has the State of NY been funding?
If it’s non-essential, why do they fund it at all, regardless of destination? An investigation is in order.
A travel-funding ban sounds like a winner for NY taxpayers.
I doubt that non-essential state travel to Mississippi even happens, so such a “ban” is meaningless.
And it's about damn time!!!!
