new report
“Just four Members (Senators Bill Nelson and Jon Tester, and Reps. Kirsten Gillibrand and John Doolittle) post their daily schedules, including who they’re meeting with on their official, taxpayer-supported Web sites.”\
“Only Rep. Jim Cooper and Rep. John Culberson offer lists of the earmarks they’ve requested.”
“Meanwhile, 499 congressional Web sites failed to provide basic information on what the member does in Washington, from providing the\ name or names of committees served on to the bills they sponsor.”
