Most of these projects ordsprog

Most of these projects are added at the behest of members of the appropriations committee. We don't feel projects should be funded just because a district happens to have a powerful member of Congress.

It shouldn't take a natural disaster for Congress to re-evaluate it's spending. Our district has needed these projects. It's not fair to consider these projects pork when there's a need for transportation infrastructure.

Three hundred million is a tiny drop in the bucket. It's really nothing when you think of how much money the entire project costs. That's what makes us nervous. These projects are so expensive. Are they ever really going to get funded? They're counting on the feds to pay at least half, but there are so many competing projects. We're very worried about whether these projects will really be built.

As one of only three California representatives on the Appropriations Committee, Congressman Doolittle frequently supports well-deserving projects throughout the state.

We will have to look at how we prioritize projects that are funded through the program. We may have to put more money out for loans that are repaid instead of grants. Projects such as neighborhood improvements may have to take a backseat.

As we go forward and make investments, we have to make sure we're making wise investments and the decision on what gets funded and what amount gets decided on merits and not just political muscle, ... That's what's been happening in the Corps' budget. You can have one of the most important projects in the country, but if it happens in a freshman's district, it's probably not going to get funded.

Usage statistics are a leading indicator of our business growth. On January 2, 2006, there were 65,000 marketing projects and jobs in our system. On March 31, there were 83,000 marketing projects and jobs. Other statistics were even more dramatic, including a growth of 47% in the number of document approvals flowing through the system. Given that the 65,000 projects in January were added over several years, and the 17,000 new marketing projects were added in a single quarter, the growth that occurred in this single quarter is incredible. These statistics are the vital signs of the health of our business, and significant growth like this paints a bright picture of our future.

I always tell prospective new members to think of two-or-three pet projects they would like to do in the community. If you help with those projects, then you've gotten what you wanted out of it. Everything else is a bonus.

[In] Both Parties Find Trough to Their Liking , ... Federal pork spending has exploded in recent years. The highway bill passed in July was bloated with 6,371 pork projects, or earmarks, inserted by members of Congress. Overall, the number of pork projects has increased ten-fold during the past decade. ...The pork explosion is a neon sign advertising the fiscal failure of today's congressional leadership.

It is getting harder and harder to come up here. I am running out of arguments. These windmill projects will promote the county, yet we are fighting an uphill battle here. We need to get the projects moved out of the finance committee.

She's moved up steadily. Every year we've done it, the Appropriations Committee has ranked as the most powerful committee.

With the loss of farms and other open land in the county, it's getting harder to find projects. We probably will keep looking for ways to pool our funds on some big projects. But we're also always looking for habitat projects to do close to home.

There has always been some cause for concern about that. But I feel we have done a very good job at doing our homework on these projects, and really, we hope the public will look at each one of these projects as they stand on there own merit.

We can't continue to do work on projects that will just sit on a shelf, and spend millions for something that will never happen. We do projects that we feel are realistic and can be done.

Suppliers are still looking for the return on investment that will help them justify their projects. That's what it will take before they feel comfortable about moving projects along and before we see widespread adoption.
