*Monday, February 6, 2012 9:32:19 PM*  NEWS ALERT   Washington Post
releases unprecedented report on congressional
earmarks<http://link.email.washingtonpost.com/r/RRHKUP/A73IQJ/MSO36W/A8ECBE/ZB8TSR/JY/h?a=http://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2012/01/12/gIQA97HGvQ_story.html>
Thirty-three members of Congress have steered more than $300 million in
earmarks and other spending provisions to dozens of public projects that
are next to or near the lawmakers' own property, according to a Washington
Post investigation. Under the ethics rules Congress has written for itself,
this is both legal and undisclosed.

In the first review of its kind, The Post analyzed public records on the
holdings of all 535 members and compared them with earmarks members had
sought for pet projects, most of them since 2008. The process uncovered
appropriations for work in close proximity to commercial and residential
real estate owned by the lawmakers or their family members. The review also
found 16 lawmakers who sent tax dollars to companies, colleges or community
programs where their spouses, children or parents work as salaried
employees or serve on boards.
