@DouglasLFarrar It became commonly known which Approps member's former staffer at XYZ Group was the candyman for earmarks. Henry Waxman banned e'marks in his office because, he told me, lobbyists were creating e'marks in search of clients. It got gross. Really swampy. 2/3 — PolitiTweet.org

@DouglasLFarrar Very thoughtful response. I would contend that by the late '00s, even most "good" earmarks came with taint of pay-to-play access of ex-staffer serving as de-facto gatekeeper. That needs to be eliminated, at least severely restricted. Otherwise, keep earmark ban. 1/3 — PolitiTweet.org

@DouglasLFarrar Instead, boost funds just a little so members can hire a district-based staffer to serve as eyes & ears for local projects in need, rather lobbyist. District staff manage to run the art competition every year and get hundreds of entries, they can manage e'marks too. 3/3 — PolitiTweet.org
