Reid neglected Nevada in massive “stimulus” legislation – even as it suffers the highest unemployment rate in the nation.
WASHINGTON – American Crossroads today released a new television ad, entitled “Really Reprise,” focused on Harry Reid’s failure to help Nevada’s crumbling economy.
With record home foreclosures and the nation’s highest unemployment rate, Nevada’s economy is one of the most troubled in the nation. Yet, even with Reid’s Majority Leader position in the Senate and his boast that “no one can do more for Nevada,” Nevada ranked fiftieth in money received per capita from the 2009 “stimulus” bill among states and the District of Columbia. (The state with the lowest funding per capita is Utah.)
“While Nevada’s economy was falling apart, Harry Reid was using his position to promote the interests of his Washington friends, not Nevada’s,” said Steven Law, president and CEO of American Crossroads. “The one thing a Senate majority leader should be able to control is what’s in the bill – but Reid was too busy taking orders from the White House to put his own state first.”
The new ad starts with an initial statewide buy of $120,000.
