This is an Investigative Journalism piece done by the Washington Post. It is a long read but very informative. It explains in some detail how these earmarks are done within sometimes a very fine line of what is considered to be legal.

The U.S. Congress has less stringent guidelines for earmarks. The Executive Branch and the U.S. Senate also have guidelines and appear to be more successful in keeping the earmarks at a lesser amount in volume which could benefit their family members and/or personal property values.
