Cleveland, OH, Ending Earmarks Express April 9, 2006

Bill Peirce will speak along with members of the Buckeye Institute and NTU. Subject: Egregious Earmarks are often sneaked into bills by members of Congress or powerful staffers, usually those that sit on the House or Senate Appropriations Committees, behind closed doors. This dubious process undermines budgetary accountability and further compromises an already confusing budget process. Without authorization, competition, or a request from the agency, there is no supervision or analysis to separate the worthwhile projects from the waste. www.peirceforohio.com
