On the flip side, Kern County will not perform ANY weddings...

The Kern County Clerk Stops Performing ANY weddings.

Ms Barnett claims it is due to budgetary and security concerns around the upcoming elections, that something had to give budget wise. Wedding were the thing to had to go. {cough cough} The timing was a just a coincidence, as is the fact that her expected legal issues will be paid for by a conservative "defense of marriage" group.

Not in this case. The services her department provides are mandated by local law, she does not have the option to not perform them unless she chooses to quit her job. She does not have to perform weddings, that's not in her mandate, but she is required to issue licenses.
