This just in:

At next week's Passaic County Freeholders Meeting, Passaic County's all-democratic freeholder board will vote on a resolution to extend both health and pension benefits to its county employees.

The measure is expected to pass, making Passaic County the 6th in New Jersey to extend benefits to domestic partners of county workers.

(Take that Ocean County!)
