Arizona considers offering domestic partner benefits to state employees

An Arizona paper reports that the state may start offering benefits to the partners of its employees. Arizona is close to offering health and other benefits to domestic partners of state employees, both gay and straight, according to a story in The Arizona Republic.

The change in policy, supported by Governor Janet Napolitano, would apply to about 65,000 current employees of the state government and public universities, as well as about 9,000 retirees covered by the state's health plan."It's something that most of the other private corporations and large cities are doing, and it's time state government started doing it," Tim Nelson, general counsel to the governor, told The Arizona Republic. "It's something the governor believes strongly is the right thing to do."State Department of Administration Director Bill Bell filed the proposal for domestic partner benefits on November 7 with the Secretary of State's Office. It was published Friday along with the secretary of state's registry of proposed rules.

Citizens are likely to have less than 30 days to comment on the proposed change, after which a hearing will be scheduled. The governor's six-member Regulatory Review Council will make the final decision on the plan.Arizona Senate majority leader Thayer Verschoor, a Republican, described the plan as a "slippery slope" toward government acceptance on variations of traditional marriage."I think it's going to be met with a lot of resistance," he told The Arizona Republic.


--We LOVE Janet Napolitano! Why shouldn't we have benefits?? Its still ends up being money in the pocket of the insurance companies. Where some aren't even carrying insurance because of the expense. And why do they even care?? Really! The way things are now there are probably a lot of people on Government funded insurance programs that wouldn't be if they were on their partner's insurance. So, see? Better all around. You go Janet!
