In 2011, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D Nev.) went before a joint session of the Nevada State Legislature to call for an adult conversation about prostitution in the state.
Nevada needs to be known as the first place for innovation and investment not as the last place where prostitution is still legal, he said in a speech delivered to the Nevada Legislature.
We should do everything we can to make sure the world holds Nevada in the same high regard you and I do, Reid continued. If we want to attract business to Nevada that puts people back to work, the time has come for us to outlaw prostitution.
**SNIP**
However, Las Vegas is hoping to host the 2016 Republican National Convention. Reid, a supporter of the citys bid, has argued that even though prostitution is a misdemeanor in Las Vegas, the states stance on prostitution could be an issue.

Shocking.
Is he up for election or something?
Uh huh. Good luck with this one, Harry.
He’s probably causing a distraction, why would he want to shut down the places he grew up in?
Yeah , Harry is a Mormon,in name ..
and Nancy Poelusey is a catholic
and they will both be held accoutable by their god !
how long does one have to practice before they become a professional?
Yeah but if he does this how will the Dems get laid
When they double-coupon on Tuesdays ,
or they offer a "Senior Citizen " discount !
It’s apparent that whatever Harry does on the side he gets paid well for it.
Harry has turned inside the beltway deals into an artform and he hates competition.
Hey Harry...feel the love!

Harry’s probably made a pact with the Russian Mafia to end “legal” prostitutuon so they can provide the services illegally for at least 4 times as much. In return he’ll probably receive large donations from the PAC they set up for him.
“Yeah but if he does this how will the Dems get laid”
Like they’ve done with the country...Rape.
Nevada needs to be known as the first place for innovation and investment not as the last place where prostitution is still legal,
Lots of legal prostitution going on in DC.
Somebody else is horning in on your semi-satire gig, John....
“Competition”.
“That’s weird, I would think this is something democrats would encourage. Especially since there is tax money to be made.”
I find whenever immorality or antichristian so called puritanical outlooks are what democrats name as ‘challenged’ they are ALL behind it in some pompous, it’s everyones right to do as they like mode.
Exceptin’ smokin’, right to life, or supporting the American family.
The government hates competition.
I have a distant cousin murdered and raped in Nevada in 1863 over a mining claim. We have not thought well of Nevada since.
You pretty much lost any moral high ground when you supported homosexual marriage, Harry.
He’s just trying to run to the front of the human trafficking parade, which has been marching full force for a couple of yeqrs now. I get the feeling his scouts have sniffed the wind.
