WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 -- Sen. Ted Budd, R-North Carolina, issued the following news release:
Senator Ted Budd (R-NC) has co-sponsored S. Res.14, which would provide full transparency on all congressional earmarks.
Current Senate rules require a complete list of congressional earmarks and their authors be publicly available 48 hours before a vote. However, this rule does not apply when the Senate considers House bills that contain earmarks. S. Res. 14 closes this loophole. . . .
