City of Omaha, fire union reach tentative 4-year labor deal (look at this ONE important clause!!!)

» Legally married same-sex couples would be eligible for health care coverage for the first time. 

When I voted on our Omaha Civilian contract last Fall just before I retired, we added the same language! 


Just go away already.

Legally married?

Neb. doesn't allow same-sex marriage. 

A judge's decree doesn't overrule the people's vote.

Just another instance of where other people, and not the big guy, have to pay for it, this additional coverage.

So naturally my fellow Nebraskan was in favor of it.  Why not?  It's no dime out of his pocket.

It should create great harmony around the firehouse, when a fireman starts describing how his queer boyfriend is getting benefits.

Firemen and cops love that kind of sweet story.

You know, I imagine the big guy thinks himself "virtuous" for voting to put that in the contract.

He reminds me of people who voted in Nebraska last year to raise the minimum wage; they wanted to show they "cared."

Well, hardly anybody's made minimum wage in Nebraska since Jimmy Carter, and so it didn't make a whole lot of difference.

And the people who voted for it, if the above weren't the case, well, they weren't the ones who'd have pay for it.

It's all so Skippyesque.

We have to come up with a way for DU replies to the big guy to equal CC replies.
And in the best traditions of DU and libs everywhere, it should be mandated.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

I hope the Big Guy has already arranged for a 2016 absentee ballot.
