    Senators Clash On Internet Poker

    Sep 14, 2012
    Nevada's two senators are at loggerheads over how to proceed with a bill to legalize Internet poker. The bill has bipartisan support among Nevadans, especially the governor and the casinos, who think it will boost the sagging local economy. But Senate Republicans are less than enthusiastic, and it will take 15 to get the bill to pass.

    The Political Debate About Taxes

    Aug 06, 2012

    Senator Harry Reid has gone all in on the tax issue. In an interview with the Huffington Post this week, he accused Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney of not paying income taxes for a decade. So is the Senate Majority Leader trying to keep up the pressure on Mitt Romney or is this a genuine issue? What impact would it have on the campaign if Mitt Romney had paid little or no taxes for a number of years? Nevada's senior senator has also got himself into a shouting match over Yucca Mountain. So what's happening in Washington?

    Shakeup at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission

    Jun 19, 2012

    The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission has seen bureaucratic turmoil in recent months as the chairman departs and Congress tries to appoint two new members. The issue that's driven all the turmoil is whether or not former Chairman Gregory Jaczko was sticking to the commission's business or trying to stymie Yucca Mountain. We look at what's been happening and how it will affect the future of Yucca Mountain.

    Senate Candidate Barry Ellsworth

    Feb 29, 2012

    Senator Harry Reid was determined to avoid a primary for the US Senate nomination. Former candidate Byron Georgiou was pushed out of the race but that has not deterred Democrat Barry Ellsworth who is running on an anti-incumbent platform. He argues that Congress is financed by corporate America and that has led to major policy failures.

    Apr 25, 2011

    Embattled Senator John Ensign will be resigning from the United States Senate on May 3. Governor Brian Sandoval is expected to appoint Congressman Dean Heller to the vacant Senate seat. This news will lead many candidates who had planned on 18 months to rethink their plans now that the real race for Nevada's Second Congressional District will be run in six months. We talk with experts in Las Vegas and Washington to get the latest from the resignation announcement.

    Senator Reid and the Budget Crisis

    Apr 13, 2011
    As Senate Majority leader, Sen. Harry Reid has been at the center of negotiations to avert a budget shutdown. The crisis was only resolved at the eleventh hour on Friday night.

    More on the Lame Duck Session

    Dec 15, 2010
    Does it still breathe? Does it still have legs? As Congress winds down the final days of the so-called "lame duck" session, we look at what legislation is getting attention, and what's dying on the vine. Some Democrats and a few Republicans are still saying the compromise on taxes is not a done deal.

    The Lame Duck Session

    Nov 22, 2010
    The old Congress is back in Washington for its lame duck session and we know officially that Sen. Harry Reid will be the Majority Senate Leader for the next two years. But this lame duck session still has plenty for Nevadans to look at: the Bush tax cuts, the income tax deduction for sales tax and the extension of jobless benefits to those who have been out of work more than 99 weeks.

    Nicholas Lemann on Nevada's U.S. Senate Race

    Nov 04, 2010
    "Nevada in 2010," writes New Yorker Staff Writer Nicholas Lemann, "is a kind of pilgrims' shrine for people who don't like the direction the American government has taken since 2008, when Democrats had control of both houses of Congress and won the White House." Lemann visited Nevada to see what both candidates were doing to win the race that continues to be far too close to call.

    Why Are So Many People Mad with Harry Reid?

    Jul 20, 2010
    Sen. Harry Reid has never been really popular but his negatives are dangerously, some say even terminally, high. Republicans say he is no longer the independent Nevadan that he was when he was sent to Washington, but has become a major force for the liberal agenda in Washington. But is that enough to generate all the anger that is now focused on him? Has he been victimized by the circumstances of the recession and historically high unemployment in Nevada? Or has he simply failed to deliver what he says he has?
