Giffords, in about-face, releases spending plans

The Arizona Daily Star

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords released Friday evening what she said was her complete list of federal "earmark" requests after refusing to do so last week.

The list of 42 projects, totaling nearly $327 million, was posted on her congressional Web site, and includes a single request for a $187 million in guided missiles for the Army. Many of the earmarks, submitted for fiscal year 2008, are for projects in the Democrat's Southeast Arizona district.

The $187 million missile request alone exceeds the $178 million total for all 61 requests made by neighboring Democratic Rep. Raúl Grijalva, who made his list public last week.
