Boustany, Four Other La. Congressman Vote Against Bailout Bill
(Washington, DC) -- Lafayette Congressman Charles Boustany was one of five members of Louisiana's House delegation to vote against the 700-billion-dollar financial bailout bill. The measure was defeated by a vote of 228-205. Boustany, who's facing a challenge for his congressional seat from state Senator Don Cravins, Jr., says the bill is "not the prudent way to protect responsible mortgages and pension plans" and that taxpayers shouldn't be "put on the hook" for such a massive bailout. Only Democrat Charlie Melancon [[muh-LAW-saw]] and Republican Jim McCrery from the Louisiana delegation voted in favor of the bill.
