"The fiasco continued when the replacement process for the city attorney (of Henderson, Nevada) was rigged so Harry Reid's son would qualify for the job. Josh Reid got the job -- and a big pay raise to boot. "
Las Vegas Review Journal
Josh Reid was sworn in Tuesday as Henderson city attorney.
Reid will be paid a salary of $190,000, not including benefits. The pay range for the job is $127,000 to $199,000 a year.
Reid was appointed to the post on Nov. 29 by the City Council. He was chosen over former interim City Attorney Christine Guerci-Nyhus, who was the one other finalist for the position.
Reid thanked the council, as well as Guerci-Nyhus for her work in the city attorney’s office.
“I’d like to thank the City Council for this opportunity to serve in the city of Henderson,” Reid said. “We have a really dedicated group of individuals.”
Reid replaces former City Attorney Elizabeth Quillin, who resigned in August after a DUI arrest.
