Assembly Republicans yesterday voted in lockstep against a plan advanced by Assembly Democrats to provide assistance to homeowners facing foreclosure.
 
AB 2509, authored by Assemblywoman Cathleen Galgiani (D-Livingston), was passed by a 45-26 vote, with all "no" votes from Republicans. Six Republicans also abstained, despite being in the Assembly chamber.
 
"President Bush bailed out the billionaires at Bear Stearns, but Assembly Republicans won't lift a finger to help out the hundreds of thousands of homeowners facing foreclosure on their homes," said Sen. Art Torres (Ret.), Chairman of the California Democratic Party. "The Republicans’ votes are a slap in the face to Californians who are struggling in the Bush economy and may lose the roof over their heads.”
