Southern Arizona’s two Democratic representatives voted against the proposed $700 billion bailout bill Monday, saying they thought the bill was rushed and did not do enough to protect taxpayers.

A spokeswoman for Democratic U.S. Rep. Harry Mitchell of Phoenix said Reps. Raúl Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords joined the entire Arizona delegation in voting against the measure.

In a statement, Grijalva said he could not support the bill because it did not do enough for working families who may be in jeopardy of losing their homes and did not have enough oversight as to how the money would be spent.

“I am not in disagreement that there is a financial crisis in our country,” he said in a statement. “I am in disagreement of a proposal that is rushed and more importantly does not advocate equally for main street and strong protections for working families.”

Giffords had similar reservations, said her spokesman C.J. Karamargin.

“She believes action is needed to address the status of the financial markets but she wasn't convinced that this bill was the right one and thinks it was rushed,” he said in an e-mail.

After the vote, Giffords was boarding a plane to come back to the district, but Karamargin said she would return to Washington D.C. if the bailout was re-introduced on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Grijalva’s spokeswoman Natalie Luna said the congressman would stay in Washington D.C. in anticipation of a second vote later in the week.

In his statement, Grijalva said he wants a pay-as-you-go structure, a re-working of bankruptcy laws to help protect homeowners and the ability for Congress to halt payments.

“Pursuing this historic deal without strong oversight and ensuring strict regulations occurred for passage is a bad deal,” he said. “The language allows for an oversight Committee to only critique the proposal, not halt actions.”
