Mayor Rocky Anderson’s domestic-partner benefits plan hits snag

“The Public Employees Health Program (PEHP) — the state agency that administers benefits for Salt Lake City — raised legal concerns about Anderson’s plan Tuesday. PEHP officials now say they will file legal action as early as this week asking a court to determine whether Anderson’s push is kosher under state law.”

The mayor’s plan has been called, “a shortcut to advance his personal beliefs” and undercut the state’s interest in preserving marriage as the bedrock of society.

Never mind the fact that the draconian state marriage laws already impose one set of beliefs on everyone, regardless of their individual beliefs.

And since when did kosher get co-opted as a word into state law????
