GAO Report Clears ACORN of Mishandling Funding
----------------------------------------------



A preliminary government probe has provided further exoneration for the
embattled community organizing group ACORN. The Government
Accountability Office says it’s found no evidence ACORN or related
groups mishandled the $40 million in federal money they received in
recent years. Long targeted for its work on behalf of the poor, ACORN
disbanded as a national organization earlier this year following months
of legal and financial difficulty stemming from the release of
undercover videos taken inside its offices.
