In Strong Support
 

There is no room for discrimination of any kind, and this legislation will help eliminate another example of discriminatory, exclusionary policy that has no place in society.    There are lots of economic development - workforce reasons for supporting this domicile partner - health care benefit legislation, but the overwhelming (and most compelling) reason for supporting the legislation is because it is the only thing to do.  We should embrace fair and equal treatment and eradicate discriminatory actions and policies.
