Urbana City Council will Vote on Domestic Partner Registry and Benefits this Monday |
|
by Danielle Chynoweth, Urbana City Council Member |
29 Apr 2005
|
On Monday, May 2, the Urbana City Council will take a final vote to establish a domestic partner registry. The registry will be open to same-sex and heterosexual partners living together in a close and committed relationship of mutual financial and emotional support. Both partners living in Urbana as well as those outside of Urbana are eligible to register. The opening of the registry will be announced this summer.
Also on Monday's agenda is a motion to extend health insurance benefits to the domestic partners of city employees. This would shore up domestic partner benefits to make them equal to those extended to married employees. The City voted last summer to extend partial benefits to domestic partners of city employees, but these benefits did not include health insurance. |

The Murder of Equity & Justice |
by Carol Ammons
Email: lifestratinst19 (nospam) sbcglobal.net |
23 Apr 2005
|
This article is an Open letter of the Citizens of Champaign County & The Champaign County Board.
This letter was written in response to the County Board's refusal this past week to objectively evaluate its long record of racial disparity in contracts awarded by the county, a long-standing practice that it was hoped by voters would come to an end after the Democrats achieved a majority on the board following the 2000 election. The County Board Republicans voted unanimously, joined by Democrats Babara Wysocki, Steve Beckett, and Brendan McGinty, against letting a contract to evaluate past discrmination and propose future remedies to avoid such disparate results in the future.
The defection of three Democrats to help cover up past preferential contracting by previous Republican-majority county boards is viewed by many voters as an apparent betrayal. Carol Ammons' letter raises disturbing questions about the disconnect between rhetoric and reality among those who claim to support equal opportunity, while they actively work to undermine effective remedies to racial disparity.
