Rocky follows up on Joe Stengel
A couple of nights ago, I wrote about FOX's segment on Republican Joe Stengel's penchant for per diem. Today, the Rocky Mountain News has it's own piece, which focuses exclusively on Stengel's excessive out-of-session per diem. The Rocky has somewhat different numbers than FOX did. For instance, according to the Rocky, Stengel did take Christmas off.
Stengel collected almost double what Democratic House Speaker Andrew Romanoff did:
"Romanoff, who billed for 145 days last year, said he was 'puzzled' when he saw Stengel's tally. Romanoff said he doesn't charge for days not spent at the Capitol, and he didn't charge last year for the days he was campaigning for the passage of Referendum C. Stengel, who opposed the ballot measure, charged for those days because he said he performed leadership duties every day."
