text: Oh fess up, Paul.  If the Juneau legislators had been republicans you'd find a way to claim that they needed the same per diem that the rest of them were getting.
  
  Face the facts.  The legislators have been wallowing in excess per diem for years.  Is a 75% cut too much?  I don't know.  But they certainly should not be getting any higher per diem than other state employees.  Every legislator should have to pull their belt a couple notches tighter, not just the Juneau ones.
