Las Vegas Sun, 5/4/10 - Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration officials will open a Las Vegas office to provide oversight of worker safety regulators here, David Michaels, assistant secretary for the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration, announced today...

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said: “An office in Las Vegas has been long awaited—a wait that was too long for the twelve construction workers who lost their lives as a result of poor safety regulations. OSHA’s presence in Nevada will allow its members to work more closely with Nevada’s leading workforces, monitoring progress and ensuring only the highest safety and health standards are in practice. With OSHA’s help, our state’s workplaces will adopt safer work practices, resulting in fewer accidents and less spending for accident and injury cases, making funds available to get Nevadans back on the job.”

Las Vegas Review Journal, 5/4/10 - The Department of Energy has been given the green light to move full speed ahead with its shutdown plans for the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste program.

A federal appeals court late Monday dismissed a request to freeze termination activities until later this year, after judges have weighed lawsuits challenging the shutdown.

Las Vegas Review Journal, 5/5/10 - Sen. Harry Reid on Wednesday moved to block development of a major gravel quarry that has drawn complaints from residents at the southern end of the Las Vegas Valley.

Reno Gazette Journal, 5/4/10 - Senators Harry Reid, D-Nev., and John Ensign, R-Nev., last week celebrated the passage of the Lake Tahoe Restoration Act of 2010 out of the Senate Energy and Public Works Committee. The bill aims to restore and protect the ecological integrity of Lake Tahoe and the Tahoe Basin.

Reid and Ensign are sponsoring the bill, which will protect Lake Tahoe's natural resources and ensure the area remains a premiere tourist destination.

Talking Points Memo, 5/3/10 - As if Republican Sue Lowden's chicken-bartering health care plan wasn't bad enough, her campaign chief is now suggesting that everyone in Lowden's state already has health care -- in the emergency room.

Robert Uithoven, the campaign chief for Nevada Republican Senate candidate Sue Lowden, said on journalist Jon Ralston's TV show that if you have an emergency -- like, say, a bullet hole in your chest -- you already have taxpayer-funded health care.

Wells Mayor says Reid “never more than a phone call away” and has “always put Nevadans as his first priority”

LAS VEGAS – Long-time Wells Mayor Rusty A. Tybo’s has authored an op-ed endorsing Senator Harry Reid for reelection in the Elko Daily Free Press. Tybo has served as Wells Mayor for more than two decades, and before that served on the Wells City Council. The Elko Daily Free Press also endorsed Senator Reid and published longtime State Senator Dean Rhoads' endorsement of Reid earlier this month.

This morning, Las Vegas Sun publisher Brian Greenspun convincingly articulates the case for the re-election of Sen. Harry Reid on Tuesday, noting the paramount importance of Nevada having a representative with so much clout and such a high leadership position in these exceedingly tough economic times. And while that alone should be reason enough not to replace Sen. Reid as Nevada continues to dig our way out of this Great Recession, the notion that we would replace Sen. Reid with someone as extreme and dangerous as Sharron Angle would be a serious mistake that would cause great harm to our great state.

Again refusing to come clean with voters about her extreme agenda, Angle melts down on camera and then bans Nevada press from covering her

LAS VEGAS – If you thought Sharron Angle couldn’t be anymore ridiculous in her efforts to avoid Nevada voters and the media, think again.

LAS VEGAS – Sharron Angle’s strategy to avoid Nevada voters and the media has become so preposterous that she’s resorted to tactics like using a decoy to trick waiting reporters while scrambling out a side door, and she brazenly declared this week she wouldn’t talk to media until after the election is over.

If you could watch only one clip of Sharron Angle this election cycle, this would be the one you simply can’t miss.

LAS VEGAS – La campaña de Harry Reid hoy lanzó un nuevo anuncio televisivo en español en el que le exhorta a los latinos de Nevada a responderle los ataques anti-hispanos de Sharron Angle en las urnas este 2 de noviembre.

Ante esta situación, el anuncio hace un llamado a todos los nevadenses latinos a que ejerzan su derecho al voto para enviarle un mensaje de que este tipo de ataques divisivos no solo están mal, sino que tienen consecuencias en las urnas.
