HALFMOON - The Republican candidate for New York's vacant 20th Congressional District seat has assembled a panel of local business people to advise him on economic issues.
Assembly Minority Leader Jim Tedisco says the group of 40 local business owners will counsel him on ways to create jobs and cut taxes.
In announcing the group Friday, Tedisco said it's Main Street and not Wall Street that needs a bailout.
A reporter asked Tedisco's council if it would support the president's economic stimulus package. One member stepped to the microphone and said no way.
"The foundation of America has always been survival of the fittest and if GM can't make it, then so be it. Let someone else step up to the plate," Bruce Tanski said.
Democratis candidate Scott Murphy criticizes Tedisco for not supporting the president's recovery package.
