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 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.

Comment: I find it almost comical that some people are actually tying to convince the Residents that taking half of the PFD is being done in an effort to SAVE the PFD. The fact of the matter is that the very same Republican led Government that squandered our oil revenue, and placed the state in this position, did so fully intending to try and get their greedy hands on the PFD. There has been no real effort to correct the give away of Alaska's money to non-producing oil companies. This gave them what they have been looking for for years, a way to get at the PFD. Demand side economics says that the more disposable income that each individual household has , the healthier the overall economy will be. Pushing the supply side agenda simply moves the money to the top so it can "trickle down ". It is a scam plain and simple. The only accomplishment will be the theft, once again, of millions of dollars from state residents. Greed motivates this sham of a state Government, and not the economy.
Agree

Comment: Sgt. Speer was a combat soldier who was killed in battle. This happens to soldiers, and does not justify prosecuting anyone.
