SD’s Pork has dropped

The Citizens Against Government Waste has just released it’s 2004 Federal pork per capital by State analysis. South Dakota stayed ranked at seven with an average of $111.56 per capita in Federal pork. If you go to the 2003 report the average was 119.05. Also you will find that the seventh rank was a drop from 2002 when South Dakota was fourth in the Nation regarding Federal pork per capita.

This demonstrates that South Dakota’s share of the pork barrel has dropped since 2002. What does that say for Tom Daschle’s clout?
