"Harry Reid's son is Chairman of the Clark County Board of Commissioners. Was he one of the commissioners that approved the original re-zone of the property to facilitate the shopping center?"
No, but the situation is in some ways worse. Harry pretty obviously moved Rory in to Dario Herrera's commission seat when Herrera ran for congress. Of course, Herrera would take bribes from anyone, and is headed for jail for doing just that in the GSting scandal. So, wither Harry bribed Herrera and another jailbird commissioner Erin Kenny, OR the quid pro quo was for the two to get better political positions (Kenny ran for lt. gov.).
Why no one has brought this out in the national media is beyond me. I know the AP is hot on this trail though.
Thanks for the response. I ran Dario Herrera's name through GOOGLE and was amazed at the amount of information provided. Looks as if there is some very good investigative journalism being produced by the Las Vegas Mercury. I guess it is wishful thinking to consider Reid got caught up in the RICO investigation. Heavy duty stuff that, to my knowledge, never received national attention (until now). Reid's lower anatomy must be puckering!
