		<description>I think this is a quick way for the City of St. Paul to come up with some cash for their budget without taxing the residents, and at the same time burdening or health care system.

The State of Minnesota explicitly defines marriage as between a man and a woman.

Legislators have twice passed legislation to allow municipalities to offer such benefits only to be vetoed by Gov. Tim Pawlenty.  With this being said cities such as Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Duluth are not allowed to offer such benefits to their employees.
