“Bellevue spokesman Tim Waters said the city’s policy of denying domestic-partner benefits is financially motivated.”

“In recent years the city has adopted a no new benefits policy,” Waters said. “We’ve been trying to be good fiscal stewards.”

City of Bellevue is being sued by firefighter Larry deGroen for denying him paid funeral leave when his partner’s father died. I am impressed that in 2007, the City of Bellevue feels comfortable making statements like the above, because after all, equality costs money.

I am afraid that my response has to be that I be a good fiscal steward myself and avoid spending money in the City of Bellevue.

It’s prettier in Seattle anyway, and the traffic is better here.
