The recommendations set no wage increase for 1987 and propose future raises matching police and fire departments in 1988 and 1989. A two tier wage plan for new hires would start at 60 percent of base pay rising to full rate by year three. A second golf course maintenance position is proposed.

Supreme Court strikes down Louisiana Creationism Act
The Supreme Court ruled seven to two that Louisiana’s Creationism Act violates the First Amendment by endorsing religion in public schools. Justice Brennan wrote the majority opinion, finding the act’s primary purpose to advance a religious belief and to force either banishment of evolution or presentation of a religious viewpoint. Scalia and Rehnquist dissented, arguing the act had a secular purpose to protect academic freedom. The decision also addressed related rulings on union discrimination, warrantless searches, and a defendant’s right to be present at a pre trial hearing.
