A Victory
xpatriatedtexan posted on 1-20-06 about a police officer dying of cancer who was unable to leave her survivor benefits to her domestic partner, another woman. This was a local decision which was strongly criticized by most who read it.
Some of you may have been keeping up with this New Jersey case. If not, xpat has a complete history so there's no need to repeat it all here.
He now has an update. The local government has backed down, Ms. Hester will be able to leave her benefits to her partner, and there's a good chance the state law will be amended to allow people to assign their survivor benefits however they choose.
The link to the "victory" article in in the title. For the rest of the story, drop over to xpat's blog which is always interesting reading.

I'm glad she was able to do what she wanted with her benefits.

Worried American thanks for coming to the Enigma Cafe over at http://watergatesummer.blogspot.com/, I appreciated your support and comments..and yes, it is quite a story- I am writing a book ( on my blogroll :Silent Fallout is the book- Intro is up) And yes, I have actually spoken with EB- her office knows about my investigation...
( I talked to Vivitoe about 5 years ago)....And yes, people should definently know my story- it is critical for people to understand that there are 1000's with this story- I am not the only one that has been messed with....I am leaving the post up for the next few days- but definently send people over to meet Fluffy.
You are Granny right? I have seen your comments too. And yes, PT is a good soul...actually my little Enigma Cafe is full of good souls...and sometimes we rant and talk and yell and laugh...so welcome aboard...
( About the rainting- if you poke around- you will see that not all my posts are so uncorked- I am ususally a quiet sane...thoughtful person)
...and yes I do understand physics- some kind of genetic defect ;-}
But I don't understand our country right now at all ;{
Loved hearing from you...
( on the name of the town in the book- it is not Poisonville- but while I am trying to get an editor I have to keep the name of the town private- for my own safety)
