Congress Should Say Nuts to ACORN (updated)
The Washington Examiner is quickly becoming a formidible publication with a bevy of first rate writers.
Today's expose of Congressional largesse to ACORN by Kevin Mooney is a good example:
At least $53 million in federal funds have gone to ACORN activists since 1994, and the controversial group could get up to $8.5 billion more tax dollars despite being under investigation for voter registration fraud in a dozen states. The economic stimulus bill enacted in February contains $3 billion that the non-profit activist group (Snip) could receive, and 2010 federal budget contains another $5.5 billion that could also find its way into the group’s coffers.
Update - Clarice Feldman writes:
Days ago ACORN workers were indicted in Nevada. Today they are charged with registration wrongdoing in Pennsylvania.
