I went to protest this decision just after the November elections. Ocean County's county commission had voted not to extend pension benefits to a long time employee's domestic partner, even though its allowed under state law.

 

They originally cited economic concerns but several of the freeholders were overheard talking about the "morality" of doing so.

 

This week, they've agreed to extend pension benefits to domestic partners. After a ton of pressure. The vote goes down Wednesday.

 

Which is awesome.
