This is only fair. 66% of the top private employers in Virginia offer such benefits. Almost 60% of the Fortune 500 companies choose to offer such expanded benefits to their employees. There's no reason why state employees shouldn't have expanded benefits like this as well.
This is an important step to making Virginia a more fair place.
