Fox News
Senate Republicans will meet next week, April 21, to debate bringing back earmarks, a controversial tactic that hasn’t been used in a decade.
Democrats, who control both chambers, have already unveiled plans to bring back earmarks as "community project funding." Republicans are fiercely divided over the practice. Some deem it wasteful and prone to corruption. Others say bringing back earmarks is necessary to stay even with Democrats, who brought back their own plan for earmarks rebranded as "community project funding." Last month’s Republican vote was split 102-84.More Related News
