WASHINGTON — The Capital Region's three members of the House of Representatives did not change their votes today as the House approved the proposed bailout of the financial services industry passed Wednesday by the Senate.

Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand, D-Hudson, voted against the measure - just as she did in the first failed attempt to get the measure through the House on Monday. Fellow Democrat Michael McNulty of Green Island and Republican John McHugh of Pierrepont Manor, however, again voted in favor of the $700 package.

The final vote, 263-171 in the House, a comfortable margin that was 58 more votes than it garnered on Monday. The vote capped two weeks of tumult in Congress and on Wall Street, punctuated by daily warnings that the country confronted the gravest economic crisis since the Great Depression if lawmakers failed to act.

“We all know that we are in the midst of a financial crisis,” House Republican Leader John Boehner of Ohio, said shortly before casting his vote for government intervention in private capital markets that was unthinkable only a month ago. “And we know that if we do nothing, this crisis is likely to worsen and to put us into an economic slump like most of us have never seen.”

Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said the bill was needed to “begin to shape the financial stability of our country and the economic security of our people.”

Stocks were up on Wall Street, where there was a lot of anticipation of the vote but where investors also were buffeted by a bad report on the job market. The Labor Department said employers slashed 159,000 jobs in September, the largest cut in five years and further evidence of a sinking economy.
