Implications of ruling on teacher's firing; Some praise it as a religious liberty decision, others urge caution.

WASHINGTON ? The direction the courts will take with other cases related to religious employment is far from clear, but the Supreme Court's Jan. 11 ruling opens a whole track of possibilities.

Oliver wants to bump the minimum rate to $8.50 and tie it to the consumer price index, which measures the cost of living. "At a time when some presidential candidates are saying poor people should be demanding jobs and not welfare, this proposal is about livable wages for the lowest-income earners," she said during the Assembly's reorganization in Trenton this week. "Quite simply, we should all support economic stimulus, increased consumer spending."
