Download TCS’s earmark request spreadsheet

by

Our friends at Taxpayers for Common Sense announce that they have a downloadable spreadsheet with what looks to me to be the definitive list of links to earmark request disclosures from House members. The Hill gives some good examples of how hard it is to find the disclosures.

I’m looking at some of the actual requests today instead of playing find the earmark list. One of the things I’ve always wondered is what percentage of the earmarks that members request are brought to their attention by registered lobbyists.
