We notice Rick Larsen is one of the members of Congress who refuse to release their earmark requests for the Federal Budget. Earmarks, pork or legislatively directed spending requests - he will not even respond to Anderson Cooper of CNN who is asking all in Congress for them. The Democrats said that with control of Congress they would require disclosure of earmarks. It does not seem to be the case - and our own Rick is one of those refusing to disclose. Maybe some of us in his district should ask him. Rick's staff checks this blog daily. Guys, consider this my request. I urge my fellow liberals to ask Rick for this. And let me know how his staff replies.
