| WASHINGTON - Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid paid cash for a $750,000 condo at the Ritz-Carlton where he lives. But when he gave Christmas bonuses to the doorman and other support staff, he used campaign donations instead of his own money. Federal election law bars candidates from converting political donations for personal use. Reid's office said Monday he was personally reimbursing his campaign for the $3,300 he had directed to the staff holiday fund. |
