An unknown Democrat is still holding the Coburn-Obama bill to create a searchable database of federal grants and contracts, The Hill reports. And that Senator is now the only one holding up the bill, since Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK), who had reinstated his earlier hold, has since changed his mind dropped it.
So who’s that unknown Senator? We don’t know. And neither do we know what concern the Senator has — whether it’s about the bill’s cost, as the Pork King claimed, or whether it’s the speed with which the bill’s been moving forward, as the pork-inclined senior senator from West Virginia asserted. Sure would be good to know, wouldn’t it?
