LAS VEGAS, Today, 1001 Reasons to Vote Against Harry Reid, an independent committee, released the second in a series of research reports on Sen. Reid and financial improprieties. This report, entitled "Connecting the Dots: Harry Reid's Financial Disclosures" is drawn from 20 years of financial disclosure records from Sen. Reid. The report can be accessed here: http://www.harryreidvotes.com/buzz/
The report has found problems in the following areas, here are some highlights:
*Complete lack of details about two entities in which Reid is listed as holding a position — Harry Reid Ltd. and Reid & Alverson Investments, Ltd. After exhaustive searching through public records, we have not been able to find any information about these two companies. Ordinarily, basic information about the formation, ownership, officers, business licenses and status of the U.S. corporation is easily available from the Secretary of State of the state of incorporation. Despite a lack of paperwork of any sort, Harry Reid Ltd. is cited as the source of income of several hundred thousand dollars for Sen. Reid. This raises even more questions.
*A curious loan made from "Harry Reid, Ltd." to Harry Reid. Given the peculiarity of loaning oneself money, we seek information regarding this loan and clarification of its purpose. Additionally, information should be available as to the nature of business conducted by Harry Reid Ltd. All that can be determined from the disclosure is that the loan was of between $50,001 and $100,000. It was payable on the demand of Harry Reid Ltd., and it provided a 10% interest rate, which does not appear to have compounded. Twenty-five years later, in 2008, Harry Reid repaid the loan, generating between $5,001 and $10,000 in capital gains income to Harry Reid Ltd. This suggests the interest was not compounded.

More corruption from Harry Reid uncovered...
And other stories the media won’t report...but we’ll hear all about Meg Whitman’s housekeeper, a woman so abused she stayed with Whitman for years.
“....but we’ll hear all about Meg Whitman’s housekeeper, a woman so abused she stayed with Whitman for years.”
Exactly.
(And just like Christine O’Donnell’s former campaign manager who was so appalled at all of her past ‘lies’...that she stayed on as campaign manager in 2008.)
Hey thanks for the ping. That reminds me to check another lead beyond this one which is apparently big too. My book is at 330 pages of corruption and I could put on another 100 without breaking much of a sweat.
Wonder how many stamps he bought before that scam was busted?.
Institutionalized corruption. btw, when is he going to give back the $67,000 he took from Jack Abramoff?
“Institutionalized corruption. btw, when is he going to give back the $67,000 he took from Jack Abramoff?”
Yet another thing (hopefully...) to add to the list of Congressional hearings next January.
Do you have any interesting info on Reid’s little ‘pet’ reporter hack in Nevada, Jon Ralston...?
Reid has more front companies than ACORN.
Maybe he is a participant in “bank on yourself”. (sarc)
I hope the Angle campaign team has a “whopper” of a scandal waiting in the bullpen. Let it out, say, about 3 days before the election.
and we already know what kind of diapers O’Donnels mom used on her,
nothing about obummer though
