Inhofe’s earmarks outnumber rest of Oklahoma delegation’s
There’s a $91.6 million difference between Oklahoma Republican Sens. Jim Inhofe and Tom Coburn.Inhofe voted down a $410 billion federal omnibus spending bill Thursday and fervently blasted “Democrats’ billion-dollar spending spree” in a statement released soon after the Senate passed it.
But Inhofe — who said Thursday he has “refused to go along with big government spending or big government solutions” — sponsored or co-sponsored 74 earmarks worth more than $91.6 million.
Coburn — one of Capitol Hill’s most outspoken opponents of earmarking — asked for zero.
