Pig Book: Arizona ranks last in pork barrel spending

$89,790,175: That’s total value of the 92 pork barrel projects secured from the federal government by Arizona’s Congressional delegation, according to the 2008 Pig Book.

It's a small number compared to the $17.2 billion national total that Citizens Against Government Waste found in FY 2008’s 12 appropriation bills.

With $14.17 of pork per capita, Arizona ranks 51st out of the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
