With all the talk on the election news coverage these days about Earmarks and Pork, it is interesting to see how our Senators, especially California Senators stand on Pork.
By in large, Democrats are less likely to vote for Earmark reform and have more Pork than Republicans.
See the results below from the website Porkbusters.
The Index brings together in one place all the data about how everybody who served in the Senate in 2005-2007 voted on 12 key opportunities to say "yes" or "no" to genuine earmark reforms when the Senate clerk called their names. The Examiner and Porkbusters consulted knowledgeable Senate insiders to insure that each of these votes represented a real chance to make a difference for taxpayers.
Check the data and see where your state's two senators rank (higher ratings are better).
