Every state’s congressional delegation should develop a list like the one here, posted on the blog portion of Congressman (D, OH-17) Tim Ryan’s website. Although, to be fair, Ryan’s chart could probably be improved by reflecting input from the other 17 congressional delegates from Ohio, since I imagine they have different opinions about whether decreases (or increases) are necessarily a bad thing. And I’d appreciate seeing an even-handed review of how the Ohio delegation believes the state will suffer or succeed as a result of the proposed 2009 budget.
By the way, Ryan didn’t receive any 2007 Gold Mouse Awards from the Congressional Management Foundation for his blog or website, but maybe, by posting such useful information as the budget impact, he’ll be in better shape for the 2008 award season.
