Congress reforms turn wary eye on earmarks and lobbyists
George Will notes Republicans face pressure to curb pork barrel spending and private funding favors after Abramoff and DeLay scandals. Proposals include ending continuing resolutions, banning private entity appropriations, requiring agency testimony of national need, and barring nonconforming earmarks. Jeff Flake advocates language bound spending rules to curb misused funds. The piece cites a Miller Diamond Bar earmark and warns of political risks for lawmakers who rely on federal cash for local gains.

The Abramoff money and lobbying affair centers on whether it is a Republican mess or a bipartisan one. Five charged or implicated are Republicans. Abramoff’s client donations went to both parties, with two thirds to Republicans and one third to Democrats. Analysts note extensive bipartisan influence and junkets, shaping how voters may judge who is to blame.
