Just noticed an e-mail from the ACLU saying that the Kansas City Board of Police Commissioners voted today to reinstate domestic partner benefits. Here’s the full e-mail:
Many thanks to ACLU members and supporters plus our coalition partners
at PROMO, Four Freedoms, the Lesbian and Gay Community Center of Kansas
City.
The Kansas City Board of Police Commissioners voted to
reinstate domestic partner benefits at its meeting this morning, May
14th, 2009.
Special thanks goes to commissioners, Karl Zobrist andPat McInerney for their diligent efforts to uncover the true costs of
providing these benefits and for their interest in doing the right
thing for all Kansas Citians.
The commissioners received more
mail on this issue than on any other in the board’s history, because of
your response to our call for action.
Again, thank you for all your help.
Chalk one up for equality.
