LANSING- Republicans against offering benefits for partners of state employees have decried the cost, but a recent estimate shows the benefits will cost much less than projected.
State employees have until Sept. 30 to opt into the benefits. So far, less than 100 of them have opted in, which means the state would pay roughly $600,000, said Matt Fedorchuk, spokesman for the Michigan Civil Service Commission. "The enrollment period is still going on right now," Fedorchuk said. "It's preliminary numbers."
