Terry Votes Against Bailout bill

 

WASHINGTON- Today Congressman Terry (R-NE) voted against the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, H.R. 3997.  The bill failed on a vote of 205-228.

 

“The magnitude of increasing federal bureaucracy with $700 billion of taxpayer money is not a decision to be made so quickly.  I truly believe there are other options including using the private market that should be thoughtfully considered by Congress.   I look forward to continuing work in a timely fashion on this critical matter,” said Congressman Terry.
