Anti-pork bill held up in secret
by jasontromm
The big mystery in Washington this summer is the identity of the lawmaker who put a secret hold on a sunshine bill aimed at stemming pork-barrel spending.
Efforts to smoke out the obstructer is taking place on a Web site called Porkbusters.org, which so far has cleared about a quarter of the Senate from suspicion, the Washington Times reports.
CAGW Releases 2005 Congressional Ratings
by jasontromm
Since 1989, the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste (CCAGW) has examined Congressional roll-call votes to determine which members of Congress are voting in the interest of taxpayers. Our goal is to applaud the members who want to protect our tax dollars and cut spending. At the same time, CAGW wants to alert the taxpaying public to those who prefer big government and using public funds for pet programs and pork-barrel spending.
As a result of lobbying, ethics scandals, and increased scrutiny of pork-barrel projects that were slipped into authorization and appropriations bills, it would make sense that the 2005 Congressional Ratings would have shown significant improvement over 2004. Unfortunately for taxpayers, there was minimal progress. Congress, particularly the Senate, turned a tin ear to taxpayers and voted for more wasteful spending.
Editor's Note: All three of my representatives got "Taxpayer Hero" ratings although I'm not sure Inglis and Graham deserved it.

Ready to Bet on Alternative Energy? Well, Think Again
by sbrothier
& 2 others
WHEN oil prices rise, public interest in alternative energy often does, too. Tapping into renewable sources of power like wind, solar power and hydrogen, which are inexhaustible but far from inexpensive, seems to make more commercial sense when crude oil costs $47 a barrel.
