Cooking Pork After the Kitchen's Relocated

The $388 billion omnibus spending plan has 11,000 total "pork" projects totalling $15 billion. Those are spending requirements for a specific project that the President never requested, Congress never debated, and that were added in committee, behind closed doors.

Some more in our running inventory:

• $2 million for "kitchen relocation" in Fairbanks, Alaska
• $1.5 million to "transport naturally chilled water" from Lake Ontario to Lake Onondaga
• $167,000 for horn fly research in Alabama
