What's not on the table:  Legislator Salary padding #2

During the regular session in Juneau, legislators get about $235/day for lodging and food. A recent House report shows that Rep. Reinbold paid $850 in rent plus $100 in utilities, a total of $950/month. 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 for room and board, meaning that each of them is receiving over $6,000- tax free, per month during the legislative session above actual lodging expenses.  

Coincidentally, the report notes they are renting their house from the family of Rep. Munoz. As a Juneau legislator, under the system regulators have opted to use, Rep. Munoz gets 75% of the federal per diem rate, or about $175 per day- $5,000 per month of session- for living in her own home. Above the $53,000 salary for a 90 day session.
