Bill
U.S.
Senators Russ Feingold (D-WI), John McCain (R-AZ), Claire
McCaskill (D-MO), Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Tom Coburn (R-OK)
have introduced a major earmark reform bill to cut down on
wasteful government spending. The bipartisan group introduced
the Fiscal Discipline, Earmark Reform, and Accountability

unauthorized earmarks in appropriations bills.
