Matter of Opinion

About those earmarks

Remember when that was a hot topic? Republicans vowed to fix it. Well, that isn't going so well. In fact, it isn't going at all. But eight of 10 panel members, including Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Mike Simpson, are still requesting them.

This is an interesting site. The link is for McMorris Rodgers' requests. You can look up anyone you want. Here are Rep. Mike Simpson's requests.

I like the transparency.
