Senator Reid, Democrats say, has been using all his influence in search of votes -- including his power as chairman of a key appropriations subcommittee to support projects.

In addition, Lubell expects the Senate to add some water projects not in the subcommittee's bill.
To provide context projects submitted to the Subcommittee were classified as either driven by the region or by external researchers.
