Outgoing Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK), the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has half a billion dollars worth of earmarks in the $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bills. Inhofe, who is due to retire, has the second highest number of earmarks in the over four-thousand-page bill, only losing to Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL), the vice chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee. Inhofe, given that he is due to soon leave the Senate, faces little to no political pressure not to stuff the bill with earmarks.
