I read somewhere ( can’t remember where ), that Sarah Palin herself initiated the board to look into if she had to pay taxes on per diem.

That is correct. She did it several months ago. The board's ruling does not apply to Alaska lawmakers.

But it will now. I am sure there are pro-Palin operatives lurking around IRS ready to pounce on perdiem pay for Alaskan legislative types.
