It's the right thing to do President Bush signed a bill into law, extending death benfits to domestic partners of policemen and firefighters killed in the line of duty.
The new law allows a $250,000 federal benefit for survivors of public safety officers to be paid to any beneficiary listed on the victim's life insurance policy. The money has been available only to spouses, children and parents.
It's only fair.
