Rep. Lora Reinbold, R-Eagle River, is planning to reimburse the state for $948 she received in per diem payments while she was on a four-day vacation.
Reinbold’s Republican primary opponent Crystal Kennedy raised concern about the expenses.
All legislators were automatically paid $237 per day during the extended regular session this year.
According to the Legislative Affairs Agency, Reinbold told staff she had not been aware she had received the money, and that she would repay it.
Reinbold was removed from the Republican-led majority caucus last year, after she voted against a caucus-supported budget bill. Kennedy said she will join the caucus.
