  Now John Coghill will be forced to get a real job. He told me he needs the free money he takes in as per diem in excess of his actual expenses ($500 in monthly rent is what he said he pays) because he cannot otherwise make ends meet in North Pole when the legislature is not in session. He said he needs to "stack up" as much money as possible during the session. And he adamantly opposes a change in legislative per diem so it would reflect actual Juneau expenses incurred. We all know why.
