Treadwell: I Would Have Voted “No” Too
Posted by admin
Republican congressional candidate Sandy Treadwell agrees with his opponent on one thing: He wouldn’t have voted in favor of the financial bailout either.
Treadwell’s opponent Democratic Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand, Hudson-Columbia County, voted against the measure, along with Reps. Maurice Hinchey, D-Hurley and Republican Rep, Randy Kuhl, Hammondsport, Steuben County.
Treadwell said “I would not have supported the Paulson bailout bill before Congress because it lacked the necessary taxpayer protections and would have allowed Wall Street executives to continue to make millions while taxpayers foot the bill.”
“But a failure to adopt this plan doesn’t mean that our Congressional representatives’ work is done. They need to stay in Washington and work toward a better solution. We need to end the continued gridlock that is hurting our country and work to reach a consensus that will bolster our economy, but not burden working class and middle class families with additional taxes.”
