As I stated on Friday in the post “Change or Argument” Senator Elect John Boozman did exactly what Arkansans hired him to do~ Read the bill and stand with his constituents.
Today Tolbert Report reported Boozman said :
“I want to be part of the solution to put our fiscal house back in order and that requires controlling government spending. After reviewing the Senate earmark proposals, the first step to deliver what Americans have asked for is to abstain from this spending. While not all earmarks are bad, it is clear that the system is broken and in need of reform. Therefore, I believe a moratorium on all earmarks is the best way to show that Washington is ready to make difficult spending decisions,” Boozman said.

Kudos to Mr. Boozman taking this first step in bringing about limited government. One small step for Boozman one giant leap for fiscal responsibility.
