The city of Aurora is debating whether or not to offer health-insurance benefits to same-sex partners. But some, like Councilwoman Renie Paterson, are balking.
"... why are we talking about adding costs at this point?" The Rocky Mountain News reports Peterson as having said.
Way to go, Renie (nice name, by the way).
Spoken like someone who's already got health insurance.
Aurora, you can choose to spend a few bucks on health-insurance benefits for same-sex partners, or you can lose a lot of money when talented workers leave your city or don't consider your city as viable when looking at the surrounding areas that DO offer same-sex benefits--like Denver, Boulder, Englewood, Glendale, Littleton, Lakewood and Brighton, according to this article.
It's not just the right thing to do--it pays off in smart, talented, and loyal staff. Hopefully, you'll join the 21st century and make this benefit available.
Why does this even need to be discussed?
It's a no-brainer.
