A Washington Post investigation published Monday night explores earmarks and cases in which “public projects meet private interests.” The newspaper finds 33 members of Congress have directed more than $300 million toward public projects within two miles of their own property. 

Some examples: A Georgia congressman who secured $6.3 million to replenish a beach 900 feet from his vacation home; and an Alabama senator who steered $100 million to renovate a downtown area near his commercial office building. No Hawaii members of Congress are featured among the 33 lawmakers in the investigation. 

The newspaper also found examples in which lawmakers appeared to be earmarking funds to help family members — like the $1.8 million earmark that a Washington congressman directed toward the state agency where his son worked as executive director.
