(AP) Gov. Jim Doyle called for a review Thursday of standards used to determine whether charities can participate in a state-run program allowing employees to automatically donate part of their paychecks.
A coalition of religious groups filed a federal lawsuit against state officials late last week claiming they were excluded from a list of groups to which state employees can direct part of their earnings.The lawsuit challenges a state rule that requires groups to adopt a statement agreeing not to discriminate on the basis of religion or sexual orientation in hiring staff and accepting members.
