Legislator pay
One of the first tasks the incoming Senate did in the 2007 was move to increase the per-diem pay of senators, with a $30-per-day increase in their daily expense checks. The Senate voted for a portion of the resolution that also required senators who voted against the per-diem increase to specifically ask for reimbursement for expenses.

Minnesota senators voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to stick with a $30-per-day increase in their daily expense checks. The Senate voted 59-to-7 to continue a $96-a-day expense rate that most members began collecting more than six weeks ago. The seven Republican senators who voted against the increase will have to ask for their expense checks in writing, and one called the requirement a stunt designed to punish them.
