With the return of earmarks, also known as pork barrel spending, U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan is asking for money for projects for various Mahoning Valley organizations, including Mercy Health-Youngstown, Mahoning County High School, Gleaners Food Bank as well as road improvement work and bike trails.
House Democrats announced they would bring back earmarks that were banned in 2011 when Republicans took control of the House. Before the ban, opponents said earmarks were abused and had little oversight.
House Democrats changed the rules with the return of earmarks. Members had to make the projects public along with an explanation for each proposal, and the number of requests is restricted.
