The Connection: Harry Reid and Sheriff Gillespie

GANGSTER GOVERNMENT:,
Lefty Hypocrites,
Sheriff
Over the weekend many of us were following the events at the Bundy Ranch and wondering why Sheriff Gillespie wasn’t siding with the rancher.
In our discussion of the incident our very own tannngl brought to light the fact that Harry Reid was working on a deal with a Chinese firm to build a solar farm in Clarke County.
On March 20th, the LVMPD posted on their Facebook page a picture of Harry Reid and Sheriff Dough Gillespie after Harry presented Gillespie with the ‘Sheriff of the Year’ award.
Here is the statement from their page:
U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid congratulates the sheriff! Today, LVMPD Sheriff Douglas Gillespie had the honor of being invited to the Las Vegas office of Senator Reid to receive an official proclamation congratulating the sheriff for being named “Sheriff of the Year” by the National Sheriffs’ Association.
The statement entered into the Congressional Record reads as follows:
Mr. President, I rise to honor Sheriff Doug Gillespie, of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, who was recently named the National Sheriffs’ Association’s 2014 Sheriff of the Year. The Ferris E. Lucas Award for Sheriff of the Year is awarded to recognize an outstanding sheriff for contributions made to improve the office of sheriff at the local, State, and national levels, and for involvement in the community above and beyond the responsibilities required. By this measure, I can think of no one more deserving than Sheriff Gillespie. His tireless service as sheriff has made the Las Vegas metropolitan area a safer and better place to live, work, and raise a family. Sheriff Gillespie has diligently served the Las Vegas community for 33 years as a metropolitan police officer, the last 7 as sheriff. Under Sheriff Gillespie’s leadership, metro has become one of only 72 intelligence-gathering fusion centers in the country. It has won the Webber Seavey Award, given for quality in law enforcement by the International Association of Chiefs of Police, for an outreach effort to strengthen police relations in the Las Vegas area. Metro is also one of only 32 departments to achieve the highest standard of accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies. In addition to his position as sheriff, he has served in many leadership roles in other law enforcement organizations, such as board director of the National Sheriff’s Association Executive Committee, chair of the Homeland Security Committee for the Major City Chiefs Association, vice chair of the Nevada High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Task Force, finance committee chair for the Nevada Commission for Homeland Security, and president of the Major County Sheriff’s Association. On behalf of the U.S. Senate, I congratulate Sheriff Doug Gillespie on receiving the Ferris E. Lucas Award for Sheriff of the Year and look forward to the continuation of a career that has already made Nevada very proud.
Reid, knowing full well when the BLM would descend on the Bundy Ranch, already had the sheriff in his hip pocket by schmoozing him with an award. Furthermore, according to the National Sheriff’s Association, the ceremony to present these awards (there are additional recipients) is scheduled to be held in Ft Worth in June, yet Gillespie received his ‘official proclamation’ three months early.
They don’t come much dirtier than Harry or cheaper than Gillespie.
