First Appropriator to Swear Off Earmarks!
I think this is our first appropriator to swear off earmarks. According to this news report ($) from Roll Call:
One appropriator, Rep. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), is holding a campaign event shortly before the [first quarter fundraising] deadline, but there is no chance he’ll be collecting cash for earmarks. “I am backing a moratorium and I won’t be requesting any earmarks,” Kirk said. “I just hope others follow suit.”
We hope others do as well. Congrats to Rep. Kirk! Here is the master list of congressional members who have sworn off earmarks.
