Washington state rescue mission sues over hiring restrictions, says government ready to pounce -

The Yakima mission’s attorneys said Washington state is threatening “significant penalties for using its religiously based hiring practices.” “We’re just trying to go about doing what we’ve been doing for 86, almost 87 years, and living out our faith and helping people and then we’re scared to death; we have no idea if any of these hostile applicants are the next Matthew Woods,” Mr. Johnson said.
