question:
Comment: Leslie McGuire's claiming of "reimbursement" for lodging and meals at the federal per diem rate while on vacation in Germany is outrageous. Immoral. Unethical.

Question:  How many Alaskans think that your Permanent Fund Dividends should be reduced to pay for lavish perks and personal vacations for Lesil McGuire nd other legislators.

Answer:  None.

Question:  How many Alaskans think legislators should get thousands of dollars in "reimbursement" for lodging and expenses in excess of actual expenses.

Answer: None.

You gotta love some of the statements from legislators that "the accountants made us do it," or the $247/day $247 doesn't cover more than living costs.

If the latter is true, why in 2015 when Rep. Reinbold paid $850 in rent plus $100 in utilities, a total of $950/month, and Rep. Vasquez paid $650 in rent, plus $100 in utilities, a total of $750, both legislators received about $235 per day, or $7,000 per month.

Insist on reform, and hold onto your wallets.
answer:
Agree


question:
Comment: I saw that BBC special the other day.  And quite frankly, I came away more distressed after seeing it.  Clearly there is intense anguish on the side of the children who suffer gender dysphoria.  There is anguish from the parents who want to do the right thing but aren't really sure what the right thing is.  There are the activists who clearly have an agenda (and not necessarily for the best interest of the kid) .  There are medical professionals such as Dr. Zucker who, it seems, really appeared to be trying to do the right thing for the child.

My take away is that it is complicated.  But based on seeing the BBC special, it seemed like the approach that Dr. Zucker and colleagues were taking to talk with the child and get to to know the child seemed to be the best approach.  And, if in the end, gender transition is what is needed, then so be it.  But rushing into something quickly that clearly has medical and psychological consequences should be done cautiously and thoughtful.
