After health care vote, Stupak 11 request billions in earmarks
By Anupama Narayanswamy and Bill Allison Mar 26 2010, 11:14 a.m. A day after Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., and ten other House members compromised on their pro-life position to DELIVER the necessary yes-votes to pass health care reform, the "Stupak 11" released their fiscal year 2011 earmark requests, which total more than $4.7 billion--an average of $429 million worth of earmark requests for each lawmaker. Of the eight lawmakers whose 2010 requests were available for comparison, five requested more money this week than they did a year ago: Rep. Jerry Costello, D-Ill., Rep. Kathy Dahlkemper, D-Pa., Rep. Joe Donnelly, D-Ind., Brad Ellsworth, D-Ind., and Rep. Charles Wilson, D-Ohio. http://reporting.sunlightfoundation....rmar/#comments |
