A bill authorizing pay for legislative clerks and Lt. Gov Beasley staff will be drafted by Sen. Bob Harris after a Thursday vote. The measure aims to set wages before the next session, with pay delayed until a new act is passed. Beasley seeks restoration of a $1,500 monthly expense allowance, but will not oppose the bill without it. Also, the Decatur Army Reserve unit will hold an open house at Beltline Armory during drills Saturday and Sunday to discuss reserve retirement and training programs.
