Sen Majority Leader Harry Reid seems to be awash with incredible land deals in the deserts around Las Vegas.
In 2002, Reid (D-Nev.) paid $10,000 to a pension fund controlled by Clair Haycock, a Las Vegas lubricants distributor and his friend for 50 years. The payment gave the senator full control of a 160-acre parcel in […]

Update:Folks, head to the comments section where long time reader SBD is working his usual magic and posting multiple real estate transactions with one Harry Reid regarding properties in NV and buyers/sellers from all over (including my home town of McLean VA).

Senator McCain backed away […]
Ran across this little tidbit on how hard Reid worked to set in motion his $1.1M dollar windfall. Remember this all begins with a land swap in the Lake Tahoe region, from which he gets his land purchase in Nevada, which is then rezoned to make maximum profit.
When Larry Paulson went to the Las […]
This week we learned Harry Reid had (a) bought land that had been part of a Land Swap deal he publically backed, (b) within days after the local zoning board had overruled their own long standing resistance to change the zoning of the Ried property from residential to commercial Reid sells the property to an […]
