Reid to push reform agenda
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, vowed Thursday to mirror much of the same proposals House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-California, will try to push through her chamber, albeit at a considerably slower pace.
Reid released a list of the first 10 bills he plans to have the Senate consider: 1. Ethics reform 2. Raising the minimum wage 3. Medicare Prescription Drug program reform 4. Acting on the 9/11 Commission Recommendations 5. Funding stem cell research 6. Energy reform 7. Easing the financial burden of college tuition 8. Strengthening and rebuilding America's military 9. Comprehensive immigration reform 10. Pay-as-you-go legislation -- CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
