Columbus, Ohio, offers partner benefits
Columbus, Ohio, Mayor Michael Coleman's administration has quietly arranged to make health insurance coverage available to the domestic partners of city employees - something that caused a stir of controversy six years ago. This time, a vote of City Council wasn't required because the city doesn't pay anything. Starting Friday, the city will offer a new carrier for supplemental, voluntary insurance for any of its 8,000 employees who want health insurance for their unmarried partners - gay or straight. It's on top of what the city supplies, and the employee picks up all of the cost.
