The Citizens Against Government Waste applauded Jeff Sessions for his efforts to help reduce the amount of federal pork.  They released their annual “Pig Book” today and thanks to the GOP led Congress only passing two of the eleven spending bills they saw the amount of pork was down last year.  Here are some of the pork projects that CAGW highlighted:

  • $5,500,000 for the Gallo Center to study the effects of alcohol and drug abuse on the brain;
  • $1,650,000 to improve the shelf life of vegetables;
  • $1,350,000 for the Obesity in the Military Research Program; and
  • $1,000,000 for a telescope searching for extra-terrestrial intelligence.
