    "other eligible individual" too? (none / 0) (#5)
    by Corinthian Scales on Wed Jan 26, 2011 at 06:02:55 PM EST
    Yeeeeeeeeeeehaw!!!!!!

    I'm gonna change my address to a gummint employees address.

    Commissioner Charles Blockett Jr. said he voted in favor of the change after considerable "soul searching."

    The benefit extension was "negotiated in good faith" and "in today's society, health care benefits, it's not a luxury, it's a necessity," he said.

    Commissioners Andrew Abood and Robert Swanson also voted in favor.

    Commissioner Thomas "Mac" Wardrop, who was elected the new chairman Wednesday, was opposed. He said he can't justify extending additional benefits to non-employees when the state's non-union employees were denied a promised 3 percent pay increase that was supposed to take effect last October.

    The commission voted to extend the "other eligible individual" benefits to non-union employees as well.


    Now, meet the sumb!tches that voted.

    Health benefits for same-sex partners were negotiated shortly before Michigan voters approved a 2004 ballot initiative that defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
    In 2008, the Michigan Supreme Court ruled the ballot initiative banned public benefits for same-sex partners.

    As a result, officials reworked agreements to scrap references to same-sex benefits and instead extended benefits to "other eligible individuals"

    Yep, 'We the People' say, "NO!" by vote, by court, and it is totally dis-fugging-regarded by a handful of governmental appointed "diversity" parasites controlled by special interest.

    Sick.  Just sick.
