Harry Reid Out To Kill More Nevada Jobs

What is it with Crybaby Harry Reid and trying to kill jobs for Nevadans.  Yucca Mountain and couple of coal fired power plants have cost thousands of jobs in Nevada.
Now, Reid is trying to kill a copper mining project that may employ up to 400 or so jobs at an average salary of $80,000.
From the Reno Gazette Journal: U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said he will support a land transfer bill for the city of Yerington — considered a major cog in the revitalization of Lyon County’s copper mining industry — if it includes the establishment of a wilderness area.
Reid spoke of his concerns Tuesday night in Reno after a campaign stop for President Barack Obama at Truckee Meadows Community College.
“It is not a lot of wilderness area but it is something that is important,” Reid said. “They cannot think they are going to get this thing and do nothing for the environment.”
The bill would mandate a fair-market-value sale of about 19 square miles of U.S. Bureau of Land Management to Yerington.
The land surrounds the Nevada Copper mine, which has recently started operations.
When Nevada Copper gets rolling full-time, it should employ 400 to 500 workers with an average yearly salary of $80,000, a Nevada Copper representative said....
 The proposed wilderness area is land between Smith Valley and Bridgeport, Calif., that has significant cultural meaning for Native Americans, Yerington Mayor George Dini said.
The entire area is around 80,000 acres but Dini was unsure how much would be designated as the wilderness area.
“Before we pursue this any further, we need to know how much acreage we are talking about,” Dini said.
“We were told at the beginning that there would be some tradeoff with environmentalists and conservationists,” Dini said. “But this is not a deal that has been made. We have requested to properly research the area and see if this is workable. Nobody is committed to anything yet.”
The bill has already passed the U.S. House through the efforts of U.S. Rep. Mark Amodei, R-Carson City....
 The bill originally was proposed by Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., when he was Nevada’s 2nd District representative. Heller, from Carson City, was appointed to the U.S. Senate in 2010 by Gov. Brian Sandoval.
Neither Heller nor Amodei has heard any wilderness-area proposal from Reid, they said.
“I want the buy-in from the local governments,” Heller said. “If this is just Lyon County, that is one thing. But if it (wilderness area) bleeds into Mineral County or Douglas County, I’d want their local governments to take a look at this. And if we can get everybody on the same page, I’m OK with it.”
Amodei questioned if it was necessary to have a wilderness area tacked onto a mining bill.

 Reid is willing to play a game of political game of chicken and is willing to throw away hundreds of good paying jobs in Nevada for some land in California.  Seriously?  Really, Harry, you're willing to kill these jobs for California? 
This is another reason why we have horrible unemployment in Nevada- Harry Reid and his game playing.
It's time for Reid to resign and go away.  He is out of touch with Nevada and now is trying his hardest to hurt the very people he is supposed to be representing.
