Tigermike 4,329 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Good luck with that! Omnibus Spending Bill Posted - In Useless FormatPosted by Jim Harper, February 23, 2009 at 2:35 pm The $500 billion omnibus spending bill to fund the most of federal government for the rest of the year will be debated in the House this week. And it has now finally been posted online. It’s a PDF of scanned pages, meaning it can’t be searched or parsed in any other way. All 1,133 pages of it. Same with the 1,845-page explanatory statement. That’s placing form over substance, putting a bill online in a useless format. link The bill combines spending for several agencies. On parts of the bill posted on the House Appropriations Committee website, you can literally see handwritten notes and crossed out lines on various pages of the legislation. You can still go through and find the pork, but the lack of a tool to search the document makes it more difficult. Good luck with that! Justin, don't tell me you guys couldn't do better.
