Open the Books has made it pretty easy to look up congressional earmarks in the most recent pork bill.
6th District Congressman Sean Casten received $31,939,087.
That ranked him 79th among all 325 members of the House of Representatives.
He earmarked $2,000,000 for Randall Road from Acorn Ln in Lake in the Hills to Alexandra Blvd. in Crystal Lake.
That’s about 5% of his total, while McHenry County comprises about 12% of his congressional district.
Underwood placed 135 with $13,215,051.

Casten is a stain on McHenry County.
A stain that must be removed!
Where is McHenry County fair share?
County should be getting close to $5 million
