Here's a compilation and detail of some questionable earmarks. I applaud his current openness in putting his name on his latest ones.

I'd also like to know about the Wilkes connection, one of those in the Cunningham case. It is troublesome.

Contributions to chairmen

Since 1994, Wilkes and ADCS gave $40,700 in campaign contributions to Rep. Duncan Hunter, a San Diego Republican who now chairs the House Armed Services Committee. Hunter has acknowledged that he joined with Cunningham in 1999 to contact Pentagon officials who reversed a decision and gave ADCS one of its first big contracts, for nearly $10 million. Hunter's spokesman, Joe Kasper, said the congressman was unavailable for comment Tuesday.
