Sorry for the headline, it is typical NY Post style. But the article is by Ed Morrissey who is reliable.
October 16, 2006 – SENATE Minority Leader Harry Reid’s ethics woes continue to mount. An Associated Press expose shows that Reid pushed through changes in federal law that helped the senator get rich - via complex land deals with a lobbyist who’s also tied up in a federal bribery case.
Reid has now told the Senate Ethics Committee that he’ll amend his past disclosure statements to for the first time cover the business relationships that AP has exposed. But he calls the amendment “technical” - which suggests it won’t explain why his original “disclosures” misled the public on the nature of a partnership that made him a $700,000 windfall.
It isn’t the first time Harry Reid’s ties to real-estate developers have caused people to question the senator’s ethics.
