Senate leader-elect sets agenda - Yahoo! News:

WASHINGTON - Senate Majority Leader-elect Harry Reid said Tuesday he's doing away with the 'do-nothing Congress' that Democrats campaigned against and plans to keep senators working long hours — focusing first on ethics, the minimum wage and stem cell research.

The Nevada Democrat said he would tackle those priorities after cleaning up the 'financial mess' the outgoing Republican Congress is leaving behind, a reference to nine long-overdue spending bills covering 13 Cabinet departments for the budget year that began Oct. 1.

'They're just leaving town, it appears,' Reid said during an interview with The Associated Press in his Capitol office. 'And so we're going to have to find a way to fund the government for the next year.'
The must-pass legislation totals more than $460 billion and could divert time from other items on the Democratic agenda. 'It's certainly not going to help it,' Reid said.
