Quite frankly I didn’t know what an omnibus was until I looked it up in wikipedia.
Taxpayer.net, run by Taxpayers for Common Sense, reports that the Fiscal Year 2009 Omnibus has 8,570 earmarks worth $7.7 billion dollars. That’s a lot of loot. They offer an Excel spreadsheet of the earmarks. I am interested to see how many of the earmarks benefit Asian Conservative constituents, if any. Updates to this post will follow.
Update 1:
($142,500) Japanese Community Youth Council, San Francisco, CA for renovation of a youth development facility
($237,500) Japanese American Museum of San Jose in San Jose, CA for construction of a new museum
($476,000) Chinese Hospital, San Francisco, CA for facilities and equipment
($196,500) Pacific Asian Consortium in Employment, San Gabriel Valley Business Development and Revolving Micro Loan Fund for counseling and advising services
($245,643) Asian Pacific Islander Small Business Program
