Michele Bachmann pushes for highway project, but steers clear of ‘earmark’ label - Burgess Everett - POLITICO.com: "A moratorium on congressional earmarks isn’t stopping Rep. Michele Bachmann from pushing for federal funding for a home-state highway.

The Minnesota Republican held an event in St. Paul for expanding Interstate 94 in her district, and has been lobbying the House Transportation Committee Chairman Bill Shuster (R-Pa.) to fund $25 million for the project. A Minnesota newspaper quoted her this week saying the initiative was gaining “traction” with the chairman. "
