Senator Shelby's profile nationally has risen lately, and a lot of it has been negative, given his controversial opposition to the Detroit Auto Bailout and recent remarks about persistent rumors regarding President Obama's citizenship, but there is little doubt as to why he is well loved in his home state of Alabama. Senator Shelby is the sole sponsor of over $114 Million in Federal appropriation earmarks, all of that money coming directly back to his constituents in Alabama. Law enforcement, Education, Infrastructure, and Scientific Research are the biggest beneficiaries of his congressional generosity, and his committee memberships on the Senate Committee on Appropriations and the Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice and Science (Ranking Member, former Chairman), Subcommittee on Defense, Subcommittee on Homeland Security, Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education & Related Agencies, Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations & Related Programs and Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies puts him in the prime position in making sure that his constituents are recipients of every penny he can get. Senator Shelby and his wife, Annette, have buildings named after them at the University of Alabama, University of Alabama at Birmingham, and Auburn University, and it is likely that the $114 Million spending spree that will be going on will engender tremendous goodwill statewide over the course of the next few years. The debate over the process of appropriation earmarks, their legitimacy, the transparency of the process, and the connection to lobbyists will continue to rage for some time. The Department of Justice is investigating the ties between lobbyists, lawmakers, and earmarks, and Arizona Representative Jeff Flake recently introduced legislation for the House Ethics committee to also investigate, but his motion was defeated 226 to 182. A list of appropriation earmarks that can be attributed to Senator Shelby, in whole or in part, follows below: $1,000,000 for novel polymeric material research at Auburn University. The earmark was cosponsored by Representative Robert Aderholt, Representative Mike Rogers, and Senator Richard Shelby. $1,500,000 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration: to improve computer models, install climate sensors on satellites and improve the accessibility of climate data at Auburn University.
