Did Alaskans' salaries increase by 20% in the last year? Did their state revenue increase by 20%? Is there a surplus that she is solely responsible for? It's weird that rookie Congress people make over three times the national average. They wouldn't be so out of touch if their pay were more equal to their constituents.
