Who decides the legislators pay, per Diem, paid trips, perks, etc......?   The legislators do! These stinkers vote themselves raises all the time!
Alaska needs to do what Minnesota did this last election! They put a ballot measure that takes away legislators right to vote themselves raises by creating a public committee to decide what a legislator is paid up or down including perks!   The ballot measure passed by over 87%.  
We are not the only state that is sick and tired of this self righteous money for nothing and chicks for free legislators.
Heck they are to big to go to jail or even to be charged! Just look at Rep Wilson that slapped a reporter, that was on a recording and witnessed by someone and the result??? NOTHING      You or I would be in jail
 Juneau police department is complacent in this cover up!!!
