In order to ensure even greater transparency in the oversight of congressionally directed spending items, Senator Inhofe is making information available on funding sought for the Fiscal Year 2010 appropriations bills on his website. Senator Inhofe has a proud record of ensuring funding for roadway and military infrastructure, hospitals and schools, among other important investments, is brought back to Oklahoma. Importantly, each of Senator Inhofe's requests requires authorizing authority. It is important to note that if not for congressionally directed spending, the money would still be spent, but under the direction of the Executive branch. As demonstrated in 2007, the most recent time Congressional directed funding was not used, the Executive Branch and unelected bureaucrats cannot be relied upon to meet Oklahoma's priorities like Oklahoma's elected officials.
