Who Ya Gonna Call?
Porkbusters!
Here are the project details:
I've been trying to find some in my home Congressional District, Pennsylvania's 8th, but have been unsucessful as of yet.
UPDATE 2 (7:29): Found some in at least part of my district (entered as statewide because I could not find what district this project was specifically, it could cut thorugh 3 or 4): Roosevelt Boulevard improvements by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation $ 3,200,000
Also, none for Delaware, so I am going to get on that. Any help would be appreciated!
UPDATE (7:22): Found a lode of pork for Delaware just by going through Subtitle G of H.R. 3 (that gross Transportation Bill). I found $80,300,000 worth of pork (click the link and scroll), and I know there is more out there! My favorite is the one million to improve pedestrain and bicycle access here at the University of Delaware. That Roselle!
UPDATE 3 (9/26/2005 8:28AM) Welcome Beltway Blogroll readers! Stick around and see what you like!
Here are the project details:
Identify some wasteful spending in your state or (even better) Congressional District. Put up a blog post on it. Go to N.Z. Bear's new PorkBusters page and list the pork, and add a link to your post.
Then call your Senators and Representative and ask them if they're willing to support having that program cut or -- failing that -- what else they're willing to cut in order to fund Katrina relief. (Be polite, identify yourself as a local blogger and let them know you're going to post the response on your blog). Post the results. Then go back to NZ Bear's page and post a link to your followup blog post.
