Pork Database Bill Set to Move in House

After clearing the Senate last night, the Coburn-Obama pork database bill will soon be up for a vote in the House.

House Majority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) has agreed to bring the bill to the floor next week, according to a press release. He has strong Republican support, which is essential for its passage.

Coburn credited “the army of bloggers and concerned citizens” who pressured Congress for moving the bill forward.

The bill’s made speedy progress since last week, when blogs and their readers smoked out the two anonymous Senators who were holding up the bill.
