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.

Keep tracking those earmarks!
