In May I had covered some of the amendments by Congressman Jeff Flake of Arizona to strip out pork from the House Energy and Water Appropriations Bill.

The Club for Growth has a summary of all the Flake Amendments and links to all the roll call votes.

Here are the votes by Rep. Tiberi, in sequential order. A “yes” vote is a vote to remove the spending from the appropriations bill.


Dairy education in Iowa ($229,000) Yes
