Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, who has pledged to stop “dead-of-night legislating,” did a little of his own in the final hours of this year's congressional session.
Reid slipped two home state projects into the last major bill Congress passed last week: a transfer of federal land in Nevada to state and private control that's almost two-thirds the size of Rhode Island; and a $4 million grant for a hospice. Neither had been approved by any congressional committee.
Given that Reid has stood accused in the media in the past three months of other shady land transactions, he’s off to a wonderful start.
Perhaps my title should better say: Harry Reid doesn’t understand why Democrats won the midterm elections.
