Members With Undisclosed Earmarks Will Still Get Their Goodies
The Hill reports that Members of Congress who failed to disclose their earmark requests as required by new rules in the House will still get their goodies.
Members who failed to disclose their earmarks as required by the April 4 deadline should have them rejected out of hand. But Congress makes the rules, and Congress can break the rules.
Our list of earmark requests is here. (It’s current to April 12 – let us know of updates.)
We’ll be working on getting the earmark requests into usable formats so we can have a good discussion about which are worthy of taxpayer dollars and which aren’t.
