The Senate has officially kicked off its process for inserting “congressionally directed spending” into appropriations bills for the fiscal year starting Oct. 1, with almost all Democrats but only 15 Republicans in that chamber participating so far.
The first batch of publicly disclosed earmark requests went live Friday, under Senate Appropriations Committee guidelines that members post their requests within 15 days of submitting them.
The first panel deadline for requests was June 16 for the Energy-Water subcommittee, responsible for the highly popular Army Corps of Engineers accounts, among others, though requests have also trickled in for the Agriculture subcommittee, which had a June 17 deadline.
