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.
