Legislature Debates Weekly Payment Bill Adjourns

Lawmakers heard a lively debate on the weekly payment bill as it remained in committee on bills in the third reading with no action. Senator Naphen proposed a substitute to legalize election day as a holiday, backed by Senators Howard and Joyner, while others argued the measure would deprive operatives of pay. The Senate split 24 to 13, defeating the substitution, and related discussions covered election law, payrolls, and fiscal committee reports.
