Window Media reporter Lou Chibbaro, Jr. has been one of the most reliable reporters on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 2007.  In today’s Washington Blade, Mr. Chibbaro gives readers an update:

“We’re hopeful for floor consideration on ENDA next week,” said Drew Hammill, press secretary for Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

But Hammill declined to say why Pelosi and other House Democratic leaders were not ready to make a definitive commitment for an ENDA vote next week or any time this year.

A spokesperson for Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) said last week that Kennedy was expected to introduce a Senate version of ENDA this week. A spokesperson for Kennedy’s office told the Blade this week that he will wait to see how the House proceeds before moving a bill forward in the Senate.
