Murtha On Earmark Accountability

Via The Council for Citizens Against Government Waste (CCAGW)

CCAGW today slammed Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) and his colleagues for purposefully putting up roadblocks and barriers to hinder earmark accountability and reform. According to Congressional Quarterly Weekly, Rep. Murtha’s response to a reporter’s inquiry regarding the difficulty of matching up earmark information in appropriations bills was: “So, you have to work. Tough [expletive].”

Nice to know EXACTLY how he feels about accountability.
