“I am concerned that tests of this magnitude have been planned without providing Nevadans with any information about the possible impact on their health or safety,” said Democratic Sen. Minority Leader Harry Reid in a statement Thursday.
Of course this does not exactly square with the facts in the case. The reality is notifications were sent in December and a response was received in January:
Morgan said the site obtained the required state approvals and air quality permits in January. Officials from the National Nuclear Security Administration, which operates the site, alerted the state’s congressional delegation and state government in December.
The Nevada Department of Administration responded with a letter stating: “Your proposal is not in conflict with state plans, goals or objectives.”
I would imagine Reid is part of the Congressional delegation. He either did not pay attention to it or he did not read it. The fact is though, the notifications were made and the State signed off on it.
So Harry, climb back under your rock and stop lying to people.
