The House of Representatives adopted new rules that imposed a moratorium on earmarks for the 112th Congress.
I am proud of the important projects throughout the Fourth District for which I have secured funding in past years, like the Brent Spence Bridge, important water and sewer projects, and health and manufacturing programs at our local colleges and universities, among many others.
I have consistently supported earmark reform measures to make this process more open and transparent since I was first elected to Congress. While many positive changes to the earmarking process have already been implemented over the past few years, I am hopeful that the moratorium will allow additional time to ensure that the process is more transparent and accountable than ever.
