Hawaii ranks 2nd among states in attracting 2009 federal earmark projects, averaging $234.96 per resident in “pork-barrel spending.”
The annual list put out by Citizens Against Government Waste highlights projects added to federal budget spending without congressional debate.
Alaska again topped the states in 2009 earmarks with $221.2 million in earmarks for a population of 686,293, or per-capita pork spending of $322.34.
Hawaii has earmarked $302 million for approximately 133 projects.
The nonprofit, nonpartisan Citizens Against Government Waste’s 2009 Congressional Pig Book lists 10,160 projects nationwide at a cost of $19.6 billion for fiscal 2009.
