Congresswoman Bean Releases Funding Requests For FY2010 Below are Congresswoman Melissa Bean’s (IL-08) funding requests for FY2010.  As part of her commitment to increase transparency in government, Congresswoman Bean in previous years has posted a list of all funding secured in appropriations bills. This year, Congresswoman Bean is posting a list of all funding requests, earlier in the Appropriations process.  The projects and amounts requested do not guarantee funding.  After requesting priority projects, the House Appropriations Committee considers requests from all Members of the House and decides which projects get funding and at what levels.
