SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) _ A government watchdog group says South
Dakota ranks eighth among states in federal earmark dollars per
capita.
``Earmark'' is the term for home-state projects sought by
lawmakers.
The Taxpayers for Common Sense report says South Dakota received
$112.21 in earmark dollars for every resident in fiscal 2010.
Hawaii was tops, at $318.26, followed by North Dakota with $233.60.
The report says nine of the top 10 per-capita states, including
South Dakota, were represented by members of the Senate
Appropriations Committee.
