For example, the city of Boulder has requested $6 million dollars to retrofit 60 cars in the city, county, and University of Colorado fleet. CNN originally reported that the "United States Conference of Mayors" asked the Federal government for a grand total $73.2 billion in new funds, but critics say many of the requested projects are nothing but pork.
