Help Is On The Way? Sharron Angle Would’ve Let CityCenter Fail
Angle would have refused to lift a finger to save 22,000 private sector jobs at Nevada’s largest private employer
LAS VEGAS – In yet another contrast with Sen. Harry Reid’s record of standing up for unemployed Nevadans, the Reid campaign today released a new radio ad highlighting Sharron Angle's position, in her own words, that she would not have saved 22,000 private sector jobs at CityCenter and that she wouldn’t fight for jobs as a U.S. Senator for Nevada. Earlier this month in an interview on KXNT radio in Las Vegas, Angle was asked, point-blank, if she would have picked up the phone, just as Senator Reid did, to save tens of thousands of jobs:
Caller: “Would you have saved CityCenter?”
Angle: “No, I would not.”
MGM Resorts, Nevada’s largest private employer, called that statement “ridiculous.” The company’s CEO, Jim Murrren, said Reid “called every CEO of every bank that I know and said ‘Look, this is important for my state. Get it done.’ He said the 12,000 employees at CityCenter “would not have jobs today if not for Senator Reid…There’s no one else that could have done that.”
As Senator Reid fights to pass an extension of unemployment benefits this week that would help unemployed Nevadans put food on their tables through the end of the year, Angle continues to demonstrate that the only job she’s willing to fight for is her own. In her own words:
“People ask me, ‘what are you going to do to develop jobs in your state?’ Well that’s not my job as a U.S. senator.”

“It's laughable when Sharron Angle says ‘help is on the way,’ because she has made it clear many times that she would leave struggling Nevadans to fend for themselves," said Reid campaign communications director Kelly Steele. “In this economy, for her to say helping the unemployed is not her job demonstrates just how out of touch she is with the needs of our state. Nevadans know that Sen Reid is working every day to create jobs and get our economy back on track because he cares about the people of Nevada and the future of our state.”
