Are these per diems in addition to their salaries?  If I am not mistaken, their 
salaries for the year are approximately $36,000, right?  I'm sure it is different for 
Senate and House, but I don't figure it is that much different.

So...if they are earning a salary of $36,000 and per diems of $9k - $10K, then they 
are making more for a few months a year than the majority of Minnesotans who work all 
year round.

I would be very interested in more investigation of this issue.
