The Lucas County commissioners are poised to pass an anti-discrimination resolution that includes protections for county employees against discrimination for sexual orientation or gender identity.

"As the county competes with other employers to attract and retain the best work force possible, it is vital that the county adopt policies that focus on merit, treat all employees and applicants with respect and dignity, and prohibit discriminatory conduct," a resolution to be considered at the commissioners' meeting today states.
