Senator Jennifer Wexton proposed SB419, an equal pay bill ensuring that women be paid as much as their male counterparts. The Senate Finance Committee (led by a majority of male conservatives) passed the bill on an 11-5 vote. But as soon as Senator Wexton left the room, that same committee voted to reconsider the bill and then killed it the next day.
