Hey Dave, why didn't the citizens of Homer get to vote on plastic bags? And I really really feel so sorry that the city workers don't get their 2% COLA raise. Bet everyone didn't know that the city employees have ALL their healthcare premiums paid for -by the taxpayers of course. I'm sure the city council won't touch that golden goose. There is too much fat to cut in this city budget before you better even think about gouging the tax payers. Wow, Dave Lewis actually mentioned the voting public.

Having natural gas in Homer will become known as one of the the biggest economic boosts ever to this community. Long term everyone wins with lower costs for energy and making Homer a more desirable place to live and do business. Natural gas is by far the most cost effective abundant energy source available and will be for the foreseeable future. Even with the upcoming short term shortages and potential increases in cost the price will still beat the alternatives by a long shot. Don’t listen to the naysayers.
