Lehigh Valley Earmark Database

The good people at the Allentown Morning Call have done a lot of tedious work scanning and inputting earmark requests into a searchable database. Earmarks requested by Reps. Dent, Gerlach, Holden, Kanjorksi, Patrick Murphy, and Allyson Schwartz are included. Rumor has it another organization is working on a larger geographic area. We shall see.

The Morning Call's database is found at: http://projects.mcall.com/earmark_requests/. Ace reporter Josh Drobnyk wrote about the project earlier this week ("Online earmarks bring some budget transparency," 4/10)

Thanks to an old email buddy for bringing this to my attention.
