Credit must be given to Porkbusters, Captain Ed, and Joshua Aloysious Earl Micah Bertram McGillicuddy Marshall’s crew.
I not only support the abolition of the anonymous hold, I support the Coburn-Obama earmark database bill that Stevens “held”.

I think it was at Talking Points Memo where I read that Stevens’ stated reason for putting the hold on this bill was its cost. Implementing the bill will cost $15 million/year. Stevens’ infamous Bridge to Nowhere cost $225 million.

To be 100% fair, that “bridge to nowhere” belonged to Don Young, Alaska’s man in the House.
Your point stands, however.
