The agency names Sen. Kit Bond as the biggest pork spender in Missouri. According to to the book, Bond appropriated more than $30 million in earmarks during 2009 fiscal year appropriations.
Those projects included $950,000 for ferry service for Route 240 bridge improvements; $950,000 for the Missouri Transportation Institute; $950,000 for downtown revitalization in Joplin; and $475,000 for the planning and design of the Lemay Community Center.
