House OKs Pork Barrel Boost With $30 Million Addition
The House Appropriations Committee advanced a $4.3 billion public works bill, adding nearly $30 million to pork barrel provisions. They trimmed $46 million from budget requests but funded unlisted projects, potentially offsetting claimed savings. The panel raised rivers harbors flood control funding to 1.178 billion, boosted reclamation funds, and cut Atomic Energy Commission requests by about 69 million. They approved new starts and added three more, totaling over 13 million in new starts for the year starting July 1.
