Some of you may recall my post on fiscal conservative
State Senator Tom McClintock, who lives with his family year-round in the Sacramento area, but claims daily
per diems ($170 per day in state reimbursements) because his "legal residence" is a Thousand Oaks home, where his rich Mom lives. Well, it looks like Sarah Palin likes the "It was legal" approach to governing too. The
Washington Post is reporting ...
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has billed taxpayers for 312 nights spent in her own home during her first 19 months in office, charging a "per diem" allowance intended to cover meals and incidental expenses while traveling on state business.
Again, all of this may be legal but it also smells of someone trying to make some extra cash by taking advantage of a state law.
