Brooklyn’s Republican rep has high hopes for ‘Problem Solvers’ in Congress
Saying that the issues the country is facing are “too big for one party,” U.S. Michael Grimm (R-Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights-Staten Island) said he has high hopes that the new group he has joined, Problem Solvers, will make a major difference in the political landscape.
“I think this is a great opportunity to bring congress back to what I heard it was years ago. In congress now, people don’t listen to each other,” Grimm told the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, as he talked about his reasons for joining the Problem Solvers.
Problem Solvers, composed of members of congress from both parties, is part of a larger organization, No Labels, http://www.nolabels.org/about-us, made up of Republicans, Democrats Conservatives and independents seeking to work together to come up with ideas on dealing with the national debt and other issues.
