FBI says Patriot Act used in Vegas strip club corruption probe
ASSOCIATED PRESS
8:35 a.m. November 4, 2003
LAS VEGAS - The FBI used the USA Patriot Act to obtain financial information about key figures in a political corruption probe centered on striptease club owner Michael Galardi, an agent said.
Investigators used a section of the Patriot Act to get subpoenas for financial documents, said Special Agent Jim Stern, a spokesman for the Las Vegas FBI office.
"It was used appropriately by the FBI and was clearly within the legal parameters of the statute," Stern said.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Tuesday that records were subpoenaed from Galardi, the owner of Jaguars in southern Nevada and Cheetah's in Las Vegas and San Diego; his lobbyist, former Clark County Commissioner Lance Malone; former Commissioner Erin Kenny; County Commission Chairwoman Mary Kincaid-Chauncey; former County Commission Chairman Dario Herrera; and Las Vegas City Councilman Michael McDonald, who lost a re-election bid in June.
The Patriot Act, passed after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, was originally touted by the government as a tool to help federal law enforcers combat and prevent terrorism.
Civil libertarians have criticized the Bush administration for employing the wide-ranging act to also crack down on drug traffickers and child pornographers.
The measure lets federal investigators seek financial records of people suspected of being terrorists or laundering money.
Malone's lawyer called it an outrage that the FBI used anti-terrorism measures in an effort to gather information on his client.
"The Patriot Act... clearly was not intended for this," Las Vegas lawyer Dominic Gentile said.
Gary Peck, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada, said the Patriot Act included provisions "that in no way had anything to do with the threat of terrorism, but could help them in your more garden variety criminal prosecutions."
Attorney Richard Wright, who represents McDonald, said he was unaware investigators had used Patriot Act powers.
"It isn't anything that's lawfully known," he said.
Federal authorities in San Diego say Galardi and Malone paid San Diego city officials to lift a ban on contact between topless dancers and their customers. Malone and three San Diego city councilmen await trial on public corruption charges.
A federal grand jury in Las Vegas also has been hearing evidence regarding allegations of public corruption in southern Nevada. No indictments have been announced in that case.

1 - The House Appropriations committee has agreed to insert H-1B into the omnibus spending bill. That means that both branches of Congress now agree to increase H-1B.
2 - The H-1B provision limits the numbers of H-1Bs to 20,000 instead of making graduates degreed foreigners totally exempt from limits. While this will a bummer for the 20,000 high-tech Americans that will lose jobs to these H-1Bs, the damage could have been considerably worse if Chambliss and Kennedy would have succeeded in making it unlimited.
3 - Nothing is set in stone yet. Your call and faxes may still have some effect on the outcome of this bill.
4 - Nothing is known about the status of H-2B.
4 - Republican and Democratic leaders of the House and Senate have almost certainly decided to strip from the 9/11 Response Bill nearly all provisions that would have fought illegal immigration.
SUMMARY: Both white-collar and blue-collar workers are going to suffer continuing job loss from both legal and illegal immigrants. How much job loss may be determined by last ditch efforts by activists to sway Congress - and whether incumbent politicians are concerned about whether their vote in favor of H-1B will hurt them in future elections.
Remember, the Shuttle supports 20,000 government workers and contractors. If they did it in 4 days, some been counter might start asking what they need all of those people on payroll for.

Are you trying to tell me an airplane machanic doesn't have the ability to use these new fangled gizmos or a UPS driver could never figure out what these PDA's are used for or that an IBM service technician would be flumoxed by the little bitty screen?
Please, enlighten us some more with your marketing wisdom. Tell us, will horse-less carriage ever become popular amongst the blue collar crowd?
