November ballots may affect state employee benefits

August 18, 2008 By WRN Contributor

The issue of domestic partner benefits for state employees may be decided in the November elections. If Republicans lose control of the Assembly in November, there's a better chance the Legislature will approve domestic partner benefits for state employees. So says GOP Representative Steve Nass, who adds, though, it's no guarantee. "There are Democrats that have a very difficult time saying yes to domestic partnerships," says Nass. "I believe they would be opposed to it, so the votes still may not be there." Nass, a leading opponent of domestic partner benefits, expects it'll be an issue in many of the fall campaigns.
