Via the Press-Register: Alabama share of federal ‘pork’ plunges

Even as congressionally driven “pork” spending continues to climb overall, Alabama’s share plunged by 41 percent this fiscal year, a watchdog group reported Wednesday.

After receiving $345.2 million in fiscal 2024, Alabama is now getting $203 million, according to the latest “Pig Book” tally from Citizens Against Government Waste, a Washington-based organization critical of pork expenditures.

The drop occurred despite a 6.2 percent increase in pork spending nationally this year.

Man! What’s the Alabama Congressional delegation doing up there?
