None of the six returning GOP members of Congress from New York nor any of their staff attended. Some Republican aides complained of receiving very late notice of the meeting set up by Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel, and others said they didn't expect anything important to be discussed.
Spitzer, a Democrat, said he had "no idea" why there were no Republicans at the gathering."

"I'm going to call a couple of them just to stress that I look forward to working with them in a bipartisan way," said Spitzer, adding that he called western New York Rep. Thomas Reynolds days earlier to emphasize he wanted to work together"
