Senator Mark Leno (D-San Francisco), co-author of the bill, said in a press release, "Employers cannot allow health insurance companies to charge higher premiums to their customers on the basis of gender, and that same policy should apply to individual health care plans...Women are more likely to work part time, less l...ikely to receive health insurance from their employers, and often get paid lower wages for doing the same job as their male counterparts. Insurers should not make matters worse by charging women more than men for health insurance."Read More

"When California offered marriage licenses to same-sex couples in 2008, spouses who were already married in another state or country were prohibited from re-marrying in California. Now those couples and their families will receive the rights and protections under the law to which they are entitled. This legislation ens...ures that same-sex couples are protected by existing California law that recognizes all marriages equally, regardless of where they are performed."Read More

When California's Republican governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, signed into law last month [Leno's] legislation recognizing some same-sex marriages performed out of state, the director of the state's Department of Social Services regained his legal status as a married man. So did his husband.

I'll stand with you and the fisherman on this, because I don't see how diverting more water to the south for cotton and grass is consistent with delta restoration.
