Lawmakers are putting in for police body cams, road repairs, community upgrades – and requests for funds ranging from a yoga program in New Jersey and a science center in Florida, now that a prohibition on earmark requests has ended.
House Republicans ended earmarks in 2011 following a series of scandals, but voted to bring them back in March, and the House majority voted to reinstate them.
Under new reforms meant to stem abuses, the House Appropriations Committee publicly lists members individual requests. More than 300 lawmakers have submitted proposals – although some critics of the practice have held back.
Congressional earmarks are back now that the whole House and the House GOP Conference pushed through changes. Lawmaker requests are now posted publicly on the Appropriations Committee web site
