OC Congressional Members Stick to Guns on Revised Bailout

The votes were held by the congressional members of the Orange County, as the revisions that were done to the financial bailout plan did little to sway their votes from Monday’s first pass at the plan.

There was a split of 3-3 for the delegation for the approval of the revised bailout that came out on Friday.

Loretta Sanchez, the delegation’s only Democrat and the one who represents parts of Santa Ana, Garden Grove and Anaheim, kept her “no” vote from Monday

Republicans Dana Rohrabacher, also held their "no" votes from Monday.

Three backers who were from the original plan gave their individual votes for the Friday’s revised version.

  • John Campbell, a Republican who represents Irvine, parts of Newport Beach and South County.
  • Ken Calvert, who represents parts of South County.
  • Gary Miller, representing northern, eastern and southern parts of the county.

"Senators and representatives can now know that a ‘yes’ vote on the financial rescue plan is now a vote to rescue America’s working families from this financial crisis, with the right tax relief at just the right time," Baucus, Senate Finance Committee Chairman, said in a statement.

The revised bailout plan 263-171, has been passed by the The House of Representatives, with big gains on Wall Street beforehand on expectations of approval. On Monday, the House voted down 228-205, sending stocks sharply lower. It was the initial version of the bailout plan.
