The folks at Citizens Against Government Waste count 51 pork barrel projects (by their criteria) in the Labor/Health & Human Resources/Education Appropriations Bill now before Congress.Among the pet projects CAGW highlight:
- $400,000 to Idaho State University, Pocatello, Idaho for a master’s degree program in dental hygiene. The school is in the district of House appropriator Rep Mike Simpson (R-ID)
- $300,000 to the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame for the "Play It Smart Program." It'll be spent in the district of House appropriator Rep Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-NJ)
- $175,000 to the Charter School Development Foundation for the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy. It'll be spent in the district of Rep Shelly Berkely (D-NV)
