“In addition, Mr. Reid should explain to all of us how he became a millionaire on a bureaucrat’s salary…"

Along with all of our congress critters. Funny how that seems to be a phenomena with many bureaucrats worldwide. Especially in countries the US provides with "financial aid". How is that possible?

re: #1 Bob Dillon

The fact is Harry Reid's land deals/financial situation is a third rail in Nevada politics.

Harry Reid took money from Jack Abrahamoff, then denied it, then admitted it, and then refused to return the money is backed what promised to be one of Nevada’s largest real estate development proposals. He wanted the feds to part with valuable federal lands for nothing. When that came to light, the developer (a good friend of Mr Reid’s)- without a peep- agreed to pay ten million dollars for the land.

The developer and Mr Reid have ties that go back a long way. The developer/lobbyist, Harvey Whittemore, is a longtime friend and financial backer of Harry Reid. Of course, lawyers are always the front people for deal of this magnitude. ‘Leif Reid, who is Whittemore’s personal lawyer, has represented the developer throughout the Coyote Springs project, including in negotiations with federal officials.’

To put things in perspective, the size of the deal must be appreciated. The Coyote Springs Valley project calls for ‘as many as 159,000 homes, 16 golf courses and a full complement of stores and service facilities. At nearly 43,000 acres, Coyote Springs covers almost twice as much space as the next-largest development in a state famous for out-sized building projects. ‘ The project has been referred to as being of ‘historic proportions.’

It's good to work in Washington- and that applies equally to reps from both parties..
