SMYRNA — A policy that would allow the same-sex partners of city employees to receive the same benefits as their heterosexual counterparts is under consideration by Smyrna officials.
Council members discussed the proposal at a work session Monday before agreeing to review the policy further, with some expressing support for the idea and others raising concerns.
Asked after the meeting, council members Wade Lnenicka, Andrea Blustein and Teri Anulewicz said they would likely vote in favor of the policy if a vote was held today. Councilman Charles Welch said he would likely vote against it. Council members Rob Fennel and Susan Wilkinson remain undecided as to how they would vote. Mayor Pro-Tem Melleny Pritchett and Mayor Max Bacon did not return calls by press time.
