This is the office that manages the hoover dam. Law enforcment sources indicate that one focus of this probe is a contract to manage the sale of electricity from the dam. The 30 Year Contract expires in 2017 so an Audit Committee was set up to review the operation. The contract to conduct that audit was worth about a Million Dollars. The person who chaired that Audit Committee worked in this same bureau office. His name is frederick leavitt, but he goes by rick. This is his home in henderson and it too was visited by agents this morning. They were seen carting material out of the house. Leavitt has worked for the bureau of reclamation since 1993 but he also runs an Accounting Firm out of his home. Presumably, he would have had a lot of influence over which company landed the Million Dollar contract to audit the dam. Whats the name of that company . sorry you cant come in here. this was the scene this morning accounting on west sunset road. Agents sealed off the third floor office as they served search warrants and pored through records. Ll bradford was awarded the audit contract.

Those violations are unrelated to the current investigation. Whats the connection between rick leavitt and ll bradford . Thats what the fbi wants to know. One coincidence we noticed. The same building is also the home of two companies associated with vestin mortgage, a longtime lender. Rick leavitt is listed as the chief auditor for that company, even while he holds down a full time job for the federal government. george knapp we were told about a month ago that the Corruption Team was working on something big, and it looks like is commenting at this point and were guessing there are a whole big pile of records that agents must analyze before they decide whether charges will be filed. One interesting tidbit we heard at 5 pm from patranya is that rick leavitts neighbors have taken to calling him slick rick because he recently started driving a porsche and wearing a rolex.

Paula Francis Jeremy Aguero with applied analysis is here tonight to show us how much wages have been growing in nevada. Jeremy Aguero last year, nevada reported some of the strongest job growth in the nation. Thats great news in and of itself. Even better is the positive effect the rise in jobs has had on increasing pay for workers. Nevada finished 2015 with a 5. 2 percent growth rate in private that was double the National Average of 2. 4 percent and better than any other state in the country. Here in southern nevada, weekly wages improved by 4 percent, ranking fourthbest among the nations 30 largest metro areas. Worker wages have come a long way since the econom downturn, when nevadas average weekly wage plunged to a national low of 649. Since then, weekly wages have steadily rebounded to 737 their highest point since before the recession. On a yearly basis, the average employee is earning 4,600 more today than four years ago. The states Construction Industry has been a key driver of both job and wage growth over the past year. Higher wages in other industries, including trade, transportation and utilities, financial activities, and manufacturing, have helped boost the average wage, as well. Growth in these sectors is important since the states largest and lowest paying industry leisure and wage growth of just 2. 9 percent. Growing wages are a sign of nevadas strengthening labor market. During the economic downturn, there were too many workers for too few jobs, but today there are more jobs than workers. That is forcing companies to compete for labor by raising pay to attract and retain employees who have more and better job prospects. On a national level, more americans voluntarily quit jobs in december than in any month since the recession, suggesting that more wage growth is on the way. Jeremy Aguero as nevadas job market continues to expand, workers across the state will enjoy larger paychecks in yet another sign of how far our state has recovered since the depths of the downturn.
