INTRODUCTION
The responsible application of earmarked funds − federal resources designated for local projects of high public purpose − can have widespread benefits for our communities, our state, and our nation. In making such requests, my office seeks to use taxpayer dollars prudently, considering cost-benefit analyses and community support.
These requests may support renewable energy, higher education, health care and medical research, military construction, environmental protection, infrastructure, and transportation initiatives that have regional and national benefits. The federal appropriations process is lengthy and complicated, involving 12 separate bills. In compliance with House Appropriations Committee rules and in order to make the process as transparent as possible, we are posting all of our earmark requests on this Web site.
