FILE - In this Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2011 file photo, brothel lobbyist George Flint, top right, stands behind Moonlite Bunny Ranch owner Dennis Hof, bottom second right, as they wait for U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to speak to a joint session of the state Legislature in Carson City, Nev. Flint is entering his 28th year as a uniquely Nevada political fixture: brothel lobbyist, wedding chapel owner, self-proclaimed mayor of the coffee shop at the Legislature and, perhaps most importantly, keeper of secrets. If Hof is the brothel industry's public face, Flint is its political girth, an accepted part of the Nevada legislative machine. (AP Photo/Cathleen Allison, File)
