Michigan House Poised to Cut Domestic Partner Benefits
The Michigan House of Representatives is poised to vote on a resolution to overrule a recent decision to provide domestic partner benefits to state employees. Citing cost, Republicans say providing domestic partner benefits would put increase costs as much as $8 million. The effort is being lobbied by the American Family Association of Michigan. Supporters of domestic partner benefits say the opposition is inflating the cost and note that in other factions of government where similar benefits have been implemented the cost rose "a tiny fraction."Related Media CoverageMichigan Messenger -- March 22, 2011"House to act Tuesday on domestic partners resolution" http://michiganmessenger.com/47558/house-to-act-tuesday-on-domestic-partners-resolution
