Searchable Pork PDF

by: wycats

Mon Dec 04, 2006 at 08:23:04 AM EST


Not to beat a dead horse, but I've converted Bruno's "glitchy" PDF of 2004-2005 pork into a version that can be searched.

This means that the original images are still what you see when you look at the text, but you can also search, copy, and paste the text.

Some caveats:


  • I did not attempt to clean up the word recognition at all. That means there is a large amount of incorrectly recognized words in the PDF. That said, searches for a particular Senator or organization should work fairly well.

  • The file is 76MB in size. That is smaller than the 100+ MB that Bruno's office provided, but it is still quite large.

I will be processing and posting 2003-2004 in a similar format this week.

You can download the file at: http://www.thealbany...

Enjoy, and happy hunting.

well done.

TODAY is day one. It always is.


There is a link... (0.00 / 0)
to this doc in the left hand column on the home page called "resources". We can put all resource links there, wycats. Like the Brennan Center Report and any other cleaned up Pork docs...

We've got some work ahead of us.

Just noticed that the Senate has posted new versions of its pork files on-line dated 12/7.  Here's a link to the latest versions:

Super Spreadsheet File link -- Pork in Both Houses (0.00 / 0)
Check this out -- the anonymous donor of pork spreadsheet data has given Ben Smith another file which has both Senate and Assembly data in it!  Here's the link to Ben's posting that includes the spreadsheet file:

Note that I posted a comment there pointing folks to TAP as well.

Now let's all keep connecting the dots!
