"Earmarks" in the Omnibus Spending Bill
Interesting - the top two "earmarkers" are Republicans from the same state. This does not show the amounts requested (I think these 2 hooligans are about $6 million), and Mitch McConnell, while low on the number of earmarks, ranks high on the amount of our cash. Help please in finding the dollar amounts.
