Alright so this is from
Detective Laurel Hester
who's currently on medical
leave of absence because,
unfortunately, she has
stage four cancer.
And she's asking that in
the event of her death,
her pension benefits be assigned
to her partner, Stacie Andree.
- Stacie Andree is a woman, correct?
- Correct.
I'm just trying to wrap my mind
around her being a lesbian.
Well, she's so not like a lesbian.
The contract we negotiated
with the police union
doesn't give Detective Hester the right
to assign her benefits
to her roommate, end of story.
Alright, so motion to deny
Detective Hester's request?
Well, actually, the Domestic Partnership
Act passed by the state legislature
extends benefits to same sex
partners of state employees.
Hester's a county employee.
But the law says we can
assign benefits to county employees.
Right, and bankrupt the county.
- Oh, come on.
- No, come on, what?
People can make anybody their
partners and get benefits?
It's really very hard
to form a domestic partnership,
actually, harder than marriage.
Nothing's harder than marriage.
Bryan, the law you're talking about
violates the sanctity of marriage.
It offends traditional values, and in
this county, that's political suicide.
She's dying.
Yes, and that's a personal tragedy
and we, we deal in public policy here.
But I move that we deny
Detective Hester's request,
we should wish her the best
and tell her she's in our prayers.
- Alright, all in favor?
- Yes.
- Brian?
- Oh, abstain.
We like our decisions to have
the authority of unanimous vote.
It's been our tradition for 150 years.
