A mid-level New York State appeals court in Albany heard arguments this week in a challenge to the state’s health benefit policy for spouses of gay state workers. The challenge was brought by taxpayers represented by the Alliance Defense Fund, a conservative group. The four plaintiffs, a group of taxpayers the AP says are not state workers, say whether to allow spousal benefits should be left up to the state legislature.
