Vote IQ provides information on Earmarks that are reported by U.S. Senators and Representatives. An earmark is a legislative provision that directs funds to be spent on specific projects for specific recipients. The report provided by Taxpayers for Common Sense supplies the bill in which the earmark is named, the requestors of the earmark, and the named recipient.
Earmarks can be found not only in legislation but also in committee reports.
