Just like I say whenever there's such a majority on either side; if you mess-up, or don't fix what really matters, you can't point fingers. You got the reins, lets see how you can drive.

We are! Per diem is 100% tax free money. They get the whole amount whether they use any of it or not for every day they are on the job.
State employees should be so lucky to get a per diem for their travel.
