An "earmark reform" Web site has been launched as part of a Republican effort to "change the way Washington spends taxpayer dollars." On Feb. 12, House Republicans announced that their new Web site would serve as a hub for news and information regarding House GOP efforts to hold Democrats to their earmark-reform promises. "By serving as a public clearinghouse for real-time information on legislative efforts to reform the earmark practice in Congress,  www.earmarkreform.house.gov contributes to this goal and helps to increase accountability in the use of taxpayer funds." House Republican Leader John Boehner (Ohio) said.
