Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., during a news conference on tax extenders. The Senate may try again Thursday to advance a package of tax and benefit extensions, but Majority Leader Harry Reid held out little hope that the effort will succeed. ÒIÕve come to the conclusion that the other side doesnÕt want a solution,Ó Reid, D-Nev., said on the floor Thursday morning. He blamed Republicans for killing a long list of now-expired tax and benefit programs that the bill (HR 4213) would revive. ÒThe time to decide is closing in on us. But itÕs not over yet. ItÕs not too late to do what is right.Ó
