2008 Earmark Requests
|
|
|
|
|
Earlier this spring, all senators were required to submit their final requests for earmarks to the Senate Appropriations Committee. On behalf of the taxpayers who will pay for these projects, and in the name of transparency and accountability in government, CAGW is asking all members of Congress to make their requests available to the public.
Citizens Against Government Waste encourages taxpayers around the country to ask their senators to publish their earmark requests. A list of who has and has not done so appears below: |
