Sam Kito (D-Juneau) told me he MUST take Juneau per diem for living in his Juneau residence during session(s) because he loses too much money from his regular job while he "serves" in the legislature. I'd like to compare his pre-legislative tax returns to his last two tax returns. I bet he takes in much more money with all his legislative perks, frills, gifts, and money added in than he did as an "one job, no frills" citizen.
