If she chooses not to live in the governor's mansion in Juneau (not Juno) then she should relinquish the right for per-diem pay except when of official business in other areas. 312 days of per-diem is outrageous. What would be more reasonable would be to accept per-diem when she is away from Wasilla which she obviously considers her home.

  Actually most governors maintain their own homes because they don't consider being governor a life long career as senators and congressmen do. The reason some of those costs are higher than let say Rhode Island and their capital, Providence. In Alaska, the governor's home is over 600 miles away. That's a long way home. Also, there are guide lines which she followed and according to a press release from the McCain camp, she didn't use all of her rightful reimbursements that she's entitled to.

  Are you telling Alaskans how to run their state?

    Why yes. A liberal is telling someone else how they should be doing something. Better get used to it if they win.
