I believe in increased transparency and disclosure in the appropriations process, and that is why I voted in January 2007 to strengthen earmark reform during the Senate debate on S.1, the Ethics Reform Bill. I supported an amendment by Senator DeMint to require disclosure of congressional earmarks and the availability to the public of all congressional earmarks at least 48 hours before consideration by Congress. In the 110th Congress, I was also a co-sponsor of S.304, the SAFE Commission Act, which would have established a commission to develop legislation that will improve the fiscal future of the United States.
I have introduced legislation to change our appropriations process from annual to biannual, which would allow Congress to spend every odd-numbered year appropriating and every even-numbered year conducting oversight of spending. This would decrease Congress’ temptation to spend on projects in election years and increase their accountability on spending restraint and fiscal discipline.
