Pork Platter?

(Fox News) - We told you Wednesday the U.S. Conference of Mayors has put together a wish list of almost 19,000 proposals to receive stimulus funds.

While most proposals are for shovel-ready projects like roads and sewers, some are more controversial and subject to ridicule.

So Chicago Mayor Richard Daley is refusing to release his list. The Chicago Tribune reports Daley is breaking ranks with hundreds of other mayors who are making their requests public.

"We have our list, we've been talking to people. We did not put that out publicly because once you start putting it out publicly, you know, the newspapers, the media is going to be ripping it apart... it's very controversial."
