Taxpayers for Common Sense applauds Sens. John McCain (R-AZ), Russ Feingold (D-WI), Tom Coburn (R-OK) and Claire McCaskill (D-MO) for introducing earmark reform legislation this week. This bill would help good lawmakers tackle bad spending projects brought to light by new earmark transparency. In addition, this legislation will let taxpayers know how much recipients of federal funding are spending on lobbyists to get their precious taxpayer dollars.
