Nevada Republican Sen. Dean Heller voted for House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan's budget proposal twice last year (first in the House, then once more when he was appointed to the Senate), a distinction he's proudly touted. But so far, the 2012 version of Ryan's plan isn't inspiring a comparable level public celebration on the Heller's part. The Las Vegas Sun:
During a tour of a veterans hospital guest house in Reno, Heller was non-committal on the budget that passed the House.
"I haven't had a chance to take a look at it yet, and there's a lot of changes in it versus what we passed last cycle," he said. "We'll continue to take a look at it. What I'm waiting for is a budget to pass in the Senate."
Asked if he would vote for the Ryan budget once it hits the Senate, Heller again punted.
"I haven't decided yet," he said.
