Las Vegas Sun, 9/13/11 - The Nuclear Regulatory Commission on Friday ordered an agency panel to shut down its review of the federal government’s request to turn Nevada into a high-level nuclear waste dump.

Citing budgetary issues, the commission told the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board to wrap up work by the end of the month on the Bush-era application to build the dump at Yucca Mountain, 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas. That’s good news for Nevada, which has diligently been working to kill the dangerous plans for more than two decades.

Review-Journal, 9/9/11 - During the last four years, Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., has joined with Jon Podesta, former chief of staff under President Bill Clinton's administration, to organize a National Clean Energy Summit each summer in Las Vegas.

KOLO TV, 9/6/11 - Nevada Senator Harry Reid today announced two grants totaling $7.5 million to reduce noise and improve safety at Reno-Tahoe International Airport.

"I'm pleased that Nevadans will be back on the job increasing the safety of travelers and improving the quality of life for Nevadans as a result of these grants," Reid said.

Las Vegas Sun, 8/28/11 - Nevada’s economy was hit particularly hard by the recession, and families across the state are still struggling to get back on their feet. We are making some progress but there is much left to be done.

Tourism is an essential component of the state’s economic vitality and will remain so in the foreseeable future. However, by relying so heavily on one industry that requires people across the country to have some extra money in their pockets to spend on vacation, our recovery is far too dependent on the progress of other states digging their way out of this downturn.

Gazette-Journal, 8/26/11 - Washoe County’s Regional Transportation Commission has been awarded a $4.6 million grant to three electric buses.

The 35-foot buses will replace three diesel buses and will operate from the Riverwalk District downtown to the University of Nevada, Reno.

Down the final stretch of the campaign, the contrast between Sen. Reid and Sharron Angle could not be clearer – right down to the very means by which they conduct their campaigns.

While Sharron Angle has refused virtually all mainstream media interviews since winning the GOP primary back in June, she’s now literally refusing anyrequests from press or Nevada voters to explain her extreme agenda since her racially-charged remarks made to local Hispanic teenagers have caused a national uproar. And as Sen. Reid said at UNLV on Thursday, “If you can’t talk to the media while you're running for the United States Senate, you shouldn’t be running for the United States Senate.”

Long-time Rural Nevada State Senator Highlights Reid’s work for Ranching and Mining and contrasts with Angle’s “out-of-touch positions” 

LAS VEGAS – Today, long-time Republican State Senator Dean Rhoads’s letter endorsing Senator Harry Reid for reelection ran in the Elko Daily Free Press. Rhoads, a rancher, has served in the state Senate since 1985, and served in the Assembly from 1977 to 1981.

In a scathing critique of Sharron Angle’s qualification to represent Nevada in the US Senate, MGM Mirage CEO Jim Murren slammed the Republican nominee in an interview on CNBC this morning for having such “a lack of basic business understanding that that’s frightening to me.” Murren said Sen. Reid’s unique understanding and ability to deliver on behalf of Nevada’s top industry made him irreplaceable, noting that he’s “going to be a very worried executive” if Sharron Angle somehow manages to win.

Murren specifically praised Sen. Reid’s actions to save CityCenter – the largest construction project in North America – when it was on the verge of bankruptcy. Murren noted that Reid’s role as Majority Leader gives him a unique ability to get things done that no one else in the Nevada Congressional delegation can.

LAS VEGAS – The Harry Reid campaign today released a devastating new TV ad featuring a bi-partisan group of Nevada business leaders and major job creators denouncing Sharron Angle’s dangerous anti-jobs agenda and its disastrous consequences for the state’s economy.   

It started with a slanderous, unsubstantiated assertion during last week’s debate, and it’s been continued by Sharron Angle and her DC handlers ever since.

En momentos económicos difíciles, el Sen. Reid ha luchado consistentemente para crear empleos y ayudar a los desempleados; Sharron Angle empeoraría una situación que de por si no es buena

LAS VEGAS – Mientras Sharron Angle corre y le huye a los medios para evitar hablar sobre sus declaraciones controvertidas declaraciones raciales --las cuales han causado furor nacional-- ella y sus asesores siguen haciendo fuerza para que salgan malas noticias económicas y poder explotarlas.

Mientras Sharron Angle huyéndole a todos los medios de Nevada luego de sus incendiarios comentarios raciales, por los cuales ha rehusado disculparse, los periódicos del fin de semana están llenos de noticias sobre la contienda para el Senado federal y los temas clave en los últimos días de campaña.

En la recta final de la campaña, el contraste entre el Senador Reid y Sharron Angle no pudiera ser más claro – hasta en el estilo de sus campañas.

En una crítica fulminante a las calificaciones de Sharron Angle para representar a Nevada en el Senado de los EE.UU., el Presidente de MGM Mirage arremetió contra la candidata republicana en una entrevista en CNBC esta mañana por  tener “una falta de entendimiento básico sobre los negocios que me asusta”. Murren dijo que el entendimiento que tiene el Senador Reid y su capacidad para lograr resultados para la principal industria de Nevada lo hacen irreemplazable, agregando que él “sería un ejecutivo muy preocupado” si de alguna manera Sharron Angle consiguiera ganar.
