DENVER (KDVR) — Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said he wanted a “spark” offensively last week when he benched quarterback Russell Wilson.So, did the offense provide the fireworks needed to start the new year in the right direction?“There were some things I was real encouraged about,” Payton said on his weekly Zoom call as he looked back on the 16-9 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. “This team has been resilient and tough.”Out of the box, the head coach made it clear that Jarrett Stidham would be the starting quarterback in the season finale against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, and Wilson would be the backup. Broncos QB Russell Wilson says he was asked earlier in season to adjust contract or risk benching “I thought Stidham did a good job after seeing the tape with the ball security, all those things you want to see from that position,” Payton described as the Broncos did not give the ball away on Sunday. “A lot of positives to build off of.”Is Stidham the answer at...

Here’s where the minimum wage is increasing this year

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:33:20 GMT

New York (CNN) — For anyone working a minimum wage job in this new year, they will be paid more in 22 states and in at least 40 cities and counties across the country than they were in 2023.The higher hourly rates are due either to scheduled increases or lawmakers having indexed the minimum wage in their jurisdiction to inflation, most typically using the Consumer Price Index as their gauge.As of January 1, seven states and the District of Columbia will have minimum wages of $15 or more, up from just four states plus DC last year. The newcomers to the category are Maryland, New Jersey and most of New York State (with the exception of New York City, Westchester and Long Island, which already had a $15 minimum in place and where the minimum wage is increasing to $16 in 2024).The highest state minimum wage in 2024 will be Washington state, at $16.28, up from $15.74. A close second is California, which is raising its minimum to $16 from $15.50 on January 1.The state ...

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s Supreme Court on Monday struck down a key component of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s contentious judicial overhaul, a decision that threatens to reopen the fissures in Israeli society that preceded the country’s ongoing war against Hamas.Those divisions were largely put aside while the country focuses on the war in Gaza, which was triggered by a bloody cross-border attack by Hamas. Monday’s court decision could reignite those tensions, which sparked months of mass protests against the government and had rattled the cohesion of the powerful military.There was no immediate reaction from Netanyahu.In Monday’s decision, the court narrowly voted to overturn a law passed in July that prevents judges from striking down government decisions they deem “unreasonable.” Opponents had argued that Netanyahu’s efforts to remove the standard of reasonability opens the door to corruption and improper appointments of unqualified cronies to important positions.The law w...
