Republican congressional candidate (NY-27) Leonard Roberto called Brian Higgins' mistake vote on the House floor Tuesday that stripped away more than $14 million in federal spending from Western New York evidence of Higgins' incompetence.
Roberto said that "for a local congressman who has championed federal spending for the economic redevelopment of Western New York - who has made it the centerpiece of his congressional career - to not be paying attention when a bill is passed that takes away that funding is the height of incompetence."
