House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) will announce, possibly as soon as next week, that earmarks will be permitted in spending bills beginning in 2022.
“Chair DeLauro supports Member-directed funding for community projects,” according to committee spokesman Evan Hollander, about news that was first reported by NBC News political analyst Jake Sherman. Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) also supports the action, according to Sherman.
