DescriptionThe more liberal Republican members of the House say they have many of the same budget concerns as they did last year, when they fought proposed reductions to health care and education spending, but they are pleased so far with new leadership that they say allows more participation.

Despite the budget concerns, some centrist House Republicans say the changes in leadership style have been welcome.

Rep. Sherwood Boehlert, New York Republican, said newly elected House Majority Leader John A. Boehner, Ohio Republican, and the rest of the leaders have made a "conscious effort" to make policy "from the bottom up instead of the top down."
