More about my political service in Homer

I had friends who worked for the Town of Homer and I knew the previous officials instituted a pay policy that was a financial hardship.  Employees who were paid once a month were not paid until the fifth day of the next month.  This meant they worked a month and  five days before getting paid for the previous month. 


I moved to pay them on the last day of  the month. I wanted to change pay periods to twice a month but the clerk said that could not be done because the town's revenue came from the light and water department, and those bills went out once a month.  I don't remember if we ever converted to twice a month pay periods.
