Las Vegas, NV – Nevada Senator Harry Reid announced today $4,863,020 from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for Nevada tribes. The funding will go toward environmental programs, water infrastructure development, community education and capacity building. According to the EPA, roughly $2.5 million of this money will be used to continue tribal environmental programs, clean up open dumps, conduct small construction projects, targeted community outreach, and community education. The additional $2.3 million will be used for various water quality projects.
“American Indians have contributed a great deal to making Nevada the state it is today, so I am committed to ensuring Nevada’s tribal governments can protect their land, air and water resources,” said Reid. “The funds announced today will help to improve the quality of life, health, and the environment on tribal lands. This investment represents our continued efforts to further protect human health and the environment in the Silver State.”

I am guessing for at least one of his sons.
Or some Las Vegas “businesmen” or some combination thereof.
No matter whom he helps, he and his family always manage to benefit as well.
One of the first things they could and should do to reduce the deficit is to eliminate ALL discretionary funds from ALL government agencies.
Reid bribes Indians. Sounds like history repeating itself. And just before elections, amazing.
That will never be paid,it's not real,it's fake money.

The worse thing LIBs did was put the indians on reservations and make them “special”. Most are dependent and parasitic with government handouts and grants. What a sick joke on them and us.
They also got a grant for a garbage dump, supposed to be recycling center, but not quite actually. Whites are employed and Indians don't charge crazy high rates.
Local Indians treat Whites way better than the Whites did the Indians 100 years back during gold rush.
If you live near a village, get to know, understand their culture; Indians are a pretty good bunch. Trouble is they have just about lost everything they started with (before us Whites got here) and it's really not getting much better. Canada does a much better job with their Indians. Most upriver 110 miles in Canada have careers and are contributing members of society, unlike here in our village. Just modern day genocide by our govt., no joke.
I don't get upset when I see the Indians getting infrastructure built; everybody benefits.
Hey, let everyone know we are within 1% of Titus, it will all hinge on turnout. Big upset. I’m at the Annette Teijeiro campaign every day. 2069 E. Sahara Suite A
