Beacon Hill Roll Call
20 of the States 40 senators did list any days and did not request any per diems for 2009. This does not mean that those who didn't file for per diems, weren't there, it just means they didn't file for the per diems. Karen Spilka did not file for any per diems, but Scott Brown got 2,500 for 99 days, Harriett Chandler got 3,900 for 111 days, James Eldridge got 2,500 for 106 days, Richard Moore got 2,700 for 57 days, James Timilty got 1,600 for 93 days and Marian Walsh got 410.00 for 41 days.
Tax free money for traveling to work at an average salary of 61,000.00
Attendance at the State House from our reps. Richardson 98.5%. missed 3 roll calls, Sannicandro the same, Linsky missed 9, Kahn missed 15, Naughton missed 48, John Rogers missed 18. Just a handful of the reps from this area made it to work 100% of the time.

Nice to know that at least Richardson does show up most of the time although I think we might do better if she didn’t. Curious about how much Richardson got in per diem payments. Do you have that? I still want to know who instituted a policy to pay them for commuting to work and how do we recind that policy?
FR,
Pams per diem record was not listed. The rule of thumb, enacted in 2000 by the Legislature doubling the per diem works like this, the local Reps can get 10 bucks a day, ranging to 90 bucks a day if they live in Western Mass and 100 bucks a day if they live on Nantucket.
The State Treasure keeps a tally on all who get per diems.
The only way to stop this is to get rid of a majority of the Reps and Senators.
If Joe does not run who are you going to support Pillsbury? Who do you think would be the best choice of the lot if we don’t get Kennedy to enter the race?
