Thanks for posting this. The whole earmark issure has bothered me for some time. I am not necessarily opposed to earmarks per se, but I believe it should be a matter of public record what earmarks are added and by whom. It is a matter of accountability.
Mine flat out refused. And it kinda ticks me off! Of course, I've never been a huge Jim Walsh fan anyway so if he HAD told I probably would have found something to be irked with him for anyway :-)
Exactly, Allan. I don't think they're terrible in and of themselves either. But accountability and openness - key.
And Karen, I'm not sure which is worse - having at least the courtesy to respond even if it is "no" or just not responding at all!
