Any "Domestic Partner Registry" is subject to significant fraud just like the recent media investigation showing huge problems with the Indiana Sex and Violent Offender Registry.
What prevents people from claiming benefits from more than one employer for more than one "partner"?
Don't see the HR department conducting sex & committed relationship audits with home visits?
Words cannot adequated express how riduculous this is. How can anyone go from 8.8 million to 29.2 million (thanks for the $4 gas prices by the way)??
As the city is increasing employee costs, lowering insurance coverages, and completely dropping city/county benefit coverage for employed spouses/kids employed elsewhere, they want to start covering homosexual partners, girl/boy friends, and unemployed room mates?
"At the heart of the change, said Speedway executives, is creating an event that is more friendly toward the track’s corporate partners." What about the fan?
