I agree. But at this moment in time, that's how it works. I don't like it. Why don't you and I come up with a plan to fix it and see how far we get?Every single person asking for an earmark believes that their particular project is worthwhile. The problem isn't that they aren't necessarily worthwhile, its that the federal government shouldn't be lumping your projects in with the budget and then holding the operations of the country hostage unless they're all voted up or down together.
They are.If your projects are as great as they seem,
They do, in the current process as prescribed by government.they should be able to stand on their own merit.
Well I never said they did. But the earmark process is the mechanism for obtaining the needed funds. The COPS Technology Program is funded almost entirely by the earmark process.The fact that you like them doesn't justify the earmark process.
So what do you and I do RNYC?
