PORK and PORK Pushing special interests in waning session
Congress rushed to finish the year with pork barrel spending benefiting a handful of districts. The bids included 283.3 million for shrimp research across several states, 3 million for a New Orleans waterway plan, 500 thousand for a National Health Museum study, and hundreds of millions for water and sewer projects in southeastern Pennsylvania. Republican Joe McDade, Democrat John Murtha, and Republican Bud Schuster steered the measures. A Center for Responsive Politics study shows business contributions shifting from Democrats to Republicans after 1994, suggesting donors follow power rather than good governance.
