Leading Reid Challenger May Be Indicted

CARSON CITY, Nev. — The lieutenant governor of Nevada says the state attorney general's office intends to have him indicted over how he handled a college savings program as state treasurer.

Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki said Monday he believes he is being targeted for political reasons by state Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto.

Krolicki is a Republican who's considering a run against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Masto is a Democrat. She says she cannot comment.

The 47-year-old Krolicki says Chief Deputy Attorney General Conrad Hafen alerted him to a pending indictment by the Clark County grand jury.

A 2007 audit says budget controls were bypassed in the Nevada College Savings Program. Krolicki says auditors were "simply wrong."

I want Reid to be replaced as Senate majority leader.

Ditto for Pelosi in the House. They are both an embarrassment to the Democratic party.
