U.S. Senator Harry Reid has been deep in scandal for decades, even before becoming a United States Senator. As a member of the powerful Nevada Gaming Commission, Reid was involved in a scandal involving approval for a gaming license for a key figure in the Tropicana Hotel and, as a result, ended up with the monicker of "Mr. Clean Face." It was widely conjectured on the streets of Las Vegas that Reid was "on the take" and "in the pocket" of organized crime factions.
His latest claim to fame involves the now infamous Bundy Ranch in Bunkerville, Nevada. Allegations abound that Reid pushed the BLM and NPS to get Bundy off of his ranch and BLM lands so that Reid's son Rory could proceed with a $6 billion solar power plant on the land. One has to wonder if Reid has been involved in obtaining Department of Energy funding for the project.
There are several other major scandals with Reid's name attached that are percolating around in Washington; all you have to do is Goodle on "Reid scandal" to get clued in on some of them.
Reid has proven to me beyond any doubt that we need term limits on Senators and Congressmen. He has grown to wield so much power in Washington that everyone fears him. Frankly, he belongs in jail for some of his misdeeds. We're to blame for allowing this predicament to arise.
