Snow and Collins Pork Requests in Omnibus Bill - Taxpayers Against Earmarks reports that Sen. Susan Collins (R) requested $453,264,250 and Sen. Olympia Snow (R) requested $594,513,000 for this year alone. Sen. Collins requested $5,000,000 to build a pedestrian/bicycle bridge connecting Bayside to Portland. Not to be outdone, Sen. Snowe requested $7,000,000 for the University of Maine for a “Wood Utilization Program” to study “university-based wood utilization research.” None of these programs are a proper function of the federal government.” This information should be a great help in deciding who we want for 2012 and 2014. http://endingspending.com/blog/2010/12/13/earmarkers-gone-wild/
