Channel 4 KRNV.com: Local News and Weather for Reno-Tahoe Region: Reid seeks to clarify stimulus rule on casinos: "LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Nevada Sen. Harry Reid has sent a letter to President Barack Obama asking for clarification to a provision that restricts casinos from using federal stimulus funds.
The Democratic majority leader says in a letter sent Friday that the provision is 'overly broad' and is discouraging nonprofit groups from applying for stimulus money."

This is what happens when the nation has a Senate majority leader who happens to be a senator from the great state of Nevada, where the economy is tanking because the casinos are empty. He is trying to divert our tax dollars to the casinos, even though the stimulus bill says that isn't allowed. If people were upset about the AIG bonuses, I would think they would be apoplectic over this maneuvering.
