Seattle Times Story: Defense Favor Factory , With Local Details.

New Seattle Times examination of earmarks in the Defense appropriations bill.

Story is HERE.

Included is link to a searchable Favor Factory database they set up HERE, that allows searches and details by state, and Congressional member.


HERE is a search link that shows all Oregon delegation members.

Smith tops Oregon list with $57 Million; Walden had the lowest in Oregon at $8.9 Million
.

HERE is search link to Oregon companies. While I wear and like New Balance shoes, not sure they need the $2.4 Million earmark for cold weather equipment.

Excellent post! I highlighted it on Local Sunlight (http://blog.sunlightfoundation.com/2008/10/17/local-sunlight-7/)

Keep tracking those earmarks!
