CAGW cited in this Washington Times piece about Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.):
Lobby ties counter Biden’s ‘outsider’ label
…All of which makes Mr. Biden a veteran of the types of insider fights that “outsiders” are supposed to eschew. “He’s no stranger to how the system works,” said David Williams, vice president of policy for the Citizens Against Government Waste.
…This year, Mr. Biden and and fellow Delaware Democrat Sen. Thomas R. Carper secured two earmarks worth more than $400,000 for the university, according to Citizens Against Government Waste, a nonpartisan group that tracks earmarks and opposes congressional spending that it considers excessive.
The university has received more than $5 million in earmarks since 2004, the group said.
