Salt Lake Mayor believes he can extend benefits to domestic partners
http://www.jacksonholestartrib.com/articles/2005/08/24/news/regional/bc2570f9e58dee2c87257067005a2847.txt

Mayor Rocky Anderson wants to extend health benefits to unmarried partners of gay and straight city employees.

He would prefer to do it with the agreement of the City Council, but believes he has the power to do it administratively on his own.

"As long as we're going to do this, we should demonstrate unity on this issue," he said Tuesday. "Providing for equality should not create more division in our community."

1. Utah seems to have a little island of liberalism (with this mayor).
