City Repeals Same-Sex Health Benefits
From Times Wire Reports
The Colorado Springs City Council has voted to withdraw health benefits for same-sex partners of city employees, fulfilling promises some council members made during this month’s election campaign.
Tuesday’s 8-1 vote came despite protests from dozens of residents.
The benefits, approved in December on a 5-4 vote, are currently provided to six people, costing the city about $6,000 this year.
