Portland Mayor Wants to Include Controversail Benefits for Employees

There’s a controversy brewing in Portland.  Portland Mayor Sam Adams is calling for City benefits to include coverage for sex-reassignment surgery, saying it's "fair and common sense."  If the City Council agrees with Adams when it votes on the issue next week, Portland will become the first city in Oregon to offer coverage for sex-change operations. Multnomah County enacted a similar policy last year. Adams says the cost to the City each year would be only about $32,000 through its self-insured City Core Fund.
