We are on the eve of one of Governor Linda Lingle’s most highly-anticipated decisions.

Governor Lingle must determine by Tuesday, July 6th the outcome of House Bill 444. 

Her options are to sign it, veto, or allow it to become law without her signature.

"I really thought about this more than I thought about any other piece of legislation and any other issue that's faced society,” said Gov. Lingle.  “I don't know the exact number but I think it's running 60-40 against but as I'm going to talk about tomorrow -- that isn't what helped me to make a decision on this it was really the depth of feeling on both sides -- so I look forward to sharing that with everybody tomorrow."

The civil unions bill gives same-sex couples the same rights and responsibilities of marriage.
