Kern County Clerk Is First to Say I Won't

By Anne Skove, Esq.

Now, we hear that a clerk in Kern County is refusing to conduct all* marriages. She claims the court does not have the resources to deal with the coming wedding deluge.

See Report: Calif. Clerk to Refuse All Marriages, AP (June 6, 2008).
