Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) requested at least 19 earmarks totaling over $60 million in the $1.7 trillion, 4,155-page omnibus bill.
If the bill passes both chambers of Congress, Murkowski’s state of Alaska will be granted by Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), on behalf of American taxpayers, $60,852,000 worth of pork for housing and urban development, along with infrastructure.
The specifics of the many line items include: Providence Alaska-Permanent Supportive Housing for Providence Alaska Foundation ($7,500,000) Cabin Community Projects for Sitka Homeless Coalition ($1,000,000) Rehabilitation of Bering Sea Women’s Shelter for Bering Sea Women’s Group ($2,000,000) Norton Sound Health Corporation Housing for Norton Sound Health Corporation ($5,000,000) Juneau Family Services Center Association for Education of Young Children Southeast ($5,000,000) Restoring Indigenous Safety and Empowerment (RISE) Tribal Domestic Violence Shelter for Helping Ourselves Prevent Emergencies ($500,000) Therapeutic Campus Construction-Recovery Program for Set Free Alaska ($5,000,000) Construction of Community and Tribal Childcare Facility for Tagiugmiullu Nunamiullu Housing Authority (TNHA) ($1,215,000)

People get what they voted for
I am proud to be a source for a segment back in 1996. After it aired the feds came to my home and spent three days on and off following my wife and I to work and daycare. They went away eventually.
I’m sick of all of these politicians.
And that’s why she stays in office!
Alaskan’s only want you to think that they are rugged and independent! It’s just for TV!
Same with McConnell!
Repeal the 17th Amendment!
State legislatures couldn’t do worse!
paying off donors
Any congresscritter associated with an earmark should be put to death.
Not even close to kidding.
This has to stop, and easiest way is to make the critters go away.
Are there any congress critters that didn’t get earmarks?
That’s peanuts.
PORK FOR EVERYONE !!!!!!!
This is a sick perversion of "Our Democracy"®
Make no mistake, voters love pork. It’s their number one ecriteria for voting for a congressman: How much pork will they bring home? It’s not about ideology, never was.
Parasites all...
Earmarks should be a capital offense, not a capitol offense.
The voters are the parasites. They’re just giving the people what they want.
It explains why congress always has low poll numbers but everyone gets re-elected.
Tough , but fair
