King Says Republicans Left Out Of Stimulus Plan

WNYC News | Jul 12, 2010

New York, NY —

Long Island Republican Congressman Peter King says the stimulus bill that President Obama is expected to sign tomorrow doesn't include input from his party.

KING: This bill offers too many social programs, and by excluding house republicans it prevented it from being bipartisan. I'm hoping as we go forward with the housing and banking issues that there will be bipartisan cooperation from the start

REPORTER: The bill passed without the support of a single Republican House member.
