House combatants Grimm, Recchia cross swords over GOP House budget proposal
Tom Wrobleski
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - Democrat Domenic M. Recchia Jr. slammed House GOP Majority Leader Paul Ryan's budget plan on Wednesday, and tried to use it as a cudgel in his House battle against Rep. Michael Grimm.
"The budget proposed by Michael Grimm and the Republican House is yet another example of failed leadership that throws the middle class, working families, children and seniors under the bus in order to benefit the millionaires and corporate special interests funding his campaign," said Recchia, a former city councilman from Brooklyn.
