The Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says a federal prosecutor has been assigned to look for ways to help tackle the problems associated with polygamy in Southwestern states.
In a letter sent Monday to Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff and Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard, Reid says the justice department can strengthen efforts to combat crime within polygamous groups.
The Nevada Democrat says he's also asked top state and federal law enforcement officers in his state to get involved.
Weeks ago,
Reid blasted Utah and Arizona for failing to investigate crimes in polygamous communities.
Mark Shurtleff was on Fox news this morning. all he did was himha around and make excuses. The only way anything will be done in Utah about this, is if the Feds step in and over power state interests.
