Ah, more "newz" you didn't hear about before the election.... * L.A. Times Tells You Something Important About Leading Democrats . . . Just in Time For Voters to Do, Uh, Nothing About It By Patterico on Politics The L.A. Times has a story titled Reid pledges earmark reform, but may benefit: <<< Incoming Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid vows to make reform of congressional earmarks a priority of his tenure, arguing that members need to be more transparent when they load pet projects for their districts into federal spending bills. But last year’s huge $286-billion federal transportation bill included a little-noticed slice of pork pushed by Reid that provided benefits not only for the casino town of Laughlin, Nev., but also, possibly, for the senator himself. >>> It’s not just the Democrat Senate Majority Leader who does this. It’s also the Democrat Speaker of the House: <<< Reid is not the only powerful member known to use the practice. Incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a former appropriations panel member, has used earmarks prodigiously. >>> Good information to have. Just in time for the . . . week after the election.** patterico.com latimes.com
