West Palm Beach Approves Historic Domestic Partnership Measure | City of West Palm Beach

"The new city ordinance, introduced by West Palm Beach Mayor Jeri Muoio, would provide funds to domestic partners to compensate them for the federal tax dollars they are forced to pay for health benefits. The funds would effectively eliminate any additional cost for health insurance that a domestic partnership would pay when compared to a married couple. Only two other cities in the United States currently provide this compensation to their employees. They are Cambridge, Massachusetts and Hallandale Beach, Florida."
