ok to stay as senator just step down as leader. big deal, its ok to hook up with mob lawyer, hide the transactions in buying residential property and having the crook buy lot next to it. then form a corporation and then try to get the property commercial when denied appeal and then when having problems just drop the senator's name and all the influence he has in the area, state etc. and the property gets approved commercial , i bet the property owners are just pleased to find out their residential neighborhood just got property next to them approved for commercial zoning. Reid is happy he literally stole their privacy rights of zoning residential neighborhood, and made a killing on his property.. and oh, never reported the transaction to senate etc.

I just looked at Google News...NOT a word about Reid and his "dealings" that I could find on any of the up front stories.... So in the search in that news, I inquired about Harry Reid...found a few pieces....including this one. At least the paper will print 2 letters to the editor....Geeze.......... Paper fails readers by not running Harry Reid's story October 14, 2006 freep.com It is sad to see a once great newspaper like the Detroit Free Press stoop so low as to allow its leftist editorial beliefs to affect the reporting of hard news. Recently there have been reports from other media outlets that Sen. Harry Reid, a liberal Democrat from Nevada, failed to report details of a property transfer for which he received $1 million. This may at least be a violation of Senate financial reporting requirements or could be something that could cause an ethics investigation of the senator. If our only news source was the Free Press, we would never know. Nowhere in the Free Press could I find an article about Reid's financial dealings. Maybe I missed it. Maybe you reported on it last week when the Associated Press asked Sen. Reid about it. I highly doubt it. During this current political season it appears that the Free Press is so biased that it won't allow hard news to be printed in their paper that may call into question the ethics of liberal democrats.
