Please include among relatives eligible for compensation those who lost
their life partners as well as de facto parents or children, without
regard to sexual orientation or marital status.
Please follow the example already set by New York Governor Pataki in
granting compensation benefits "on a showing of mutual interdependence
with the victim, in recognition that anyone who shared with the victim
living expenses, day-to-day activities and the emotional bonds of family
deserves help in this time of need."
Thank you,
