December 16, 2010$500,000 Earmark for the Madison School District via Senator Herb KohlThe end-of-the-year Omnibus Appropriations bill includes approximately $8.3 billion and 6,714 earmarks.The Madison School District $500,000 earmark is in row 4380 of the .xls file. The description: Madison Metropolitan School District, Madison, WI, for educational programming and Elementary & Secondary Education (includes FIE) via the US Department of Education. Senator Kohl also supports a $20,000,000 Teach for America earmark (row 5497). I wonder what the $500,000 earmark, if it is realized, will be used for and how it ended up in the $1,100,000,000,000 spending bill? Update: Senator Kohl's office provided this link and description: Recipient: Madison Metropolitan School DistrictPosted by Jim Zellmer at December 16, 2010 1:42 PM Subscribe to this site via RSS/Atom: Newsletter signup | Send us your ideas |
