With
William LaForge Congressional appropriation earmarks are the talk of the town in the
nation's capital. Some want to restrict them. Others seek to eliminate
them. However, directed congressional appropriations, i.e., earmarks, are here to stay
because Congress plays a vital and unequivocal role in building the
government's annual budget and determining funding priorities.
Municipalities across the country have discovered this source of
funding. Earmarks, the subject of much public discussion, are devices regularly used in annual appropriations acts to direct the availability of funds for
specific activities. Local governments often cannot afford new projects, so they look to the federal government
for funding. If you are seriously seeking federal funding, or just
curious about this process, this audio course explains what
earmarks are and how they are obtained.
- What are earmarks
- Finding earmarks in appropriation measures, floor amendments, conference
reports, and the managers' explanatory statement
- When are earmarks legally binding
- How municipalities can influence the legislative process in order to be
the beneficiary of an earmark
