Gillibrand votes NO, McHugh votes YES

According to the House Clerk’s tally, North Country Democratic Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand voted AGAINST the $700 billion dollar bailout.

The move apparently came in defiance of her party’s leadership — and despite warnings about the possible impacts of failure on the US economy.

North Country Republican Congresswoman John McHugh voted in favor of the measure, joining a minority of his party in the House who supported the controversial bailout.

Democratic Congressman Mike Arcuri, who represents the Mohawk Valley and a small sliver of the North Country, also voted in favor of the measure.
