I mentioned this in the last post. Here it is in its entirety. Someone tell me how Harry Reid can look a camera in the eye and make the ridiculous accusations he makes against republicans, with a straight face. How does he keep from bursting out laughing at his own hypocrisy! Harry Reid's Son Representing Chinese Solar Panel Plant in $5 Billion Nevada Deal Breitbart.com by Wynton Hall 4 Sep 2012, 5:43 AM PDT 90post a comment The son of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), Rory Reid, is the primary representative for ENN Energy Group, a Chinese energy company seeking to build a $5 billion solar panel plant on a 9,000-acre Clark County desert plot in Laughlin, Nevada. ENN scored big when Clark County commissioners unanimously voted to sell the Chinese company the public land for just $4.5 million, despite the fact that it was appraised at $38.6 million. Sen. Reid has been one of ENN's biggest supporters, having recruited the company during a 2011 trip to China. According to Reuters, last month Sen. Reid tried to "pressure Nevada's largest power company, NV Energy, to sign up as ENN's first customer." Ç Both Rory Reid and Harry Reid deny having ever discussed the $5 billion Chinese solar panel plant deal: "I have never discussed the project with my father or his staff," said Rory Reid. Kristen Orthman, a spokeswoman for the senator, said he had not discussed the project with his son. (Aside: Yeah...right! ...Tim R.) This isn't the first time the Reids have come under fire for alleged cronyism. In 2003, allegations emerged that Nevada industries frequently lobbied Sen. Reid through his well-connected relatives. --- *Durango b301 #PE* * Origin: Fidonet Since 1991 And Still Here. Join Us: www.DocsPl (1:123/140)
