Local legislators explain 'no' votes on fiscal cliff deal
Two local congressmen voted against the “fiscal cliff” deal that ultimately was passed by both chambers of Congress late Tuesday night.
U.S. Reps. Randy Hultgren, R-Winfield, and Peter Roskam, R-Wheaton, both voted against H.R. 8 – a package they say didn’t go far enough to reduce spending.
The House passed the measure, 257-167, Tuesday.
