GAO Report: Government Agencies Taking Their Time Implementing ACORN Funding Cutoff…
Surprise!
(Fox News) — Nearly a dozen federal agencies did not take comprehensive action to cut off funding to ACORN and its affiliates until a government research group started asking about it — a year after Congress voted for the funding restrictions.
According to a new report from the Government Accountability Office, all 27 agencies subject to the restrictions eventually moved to implement the funding cutoff. However, “not all agencies had taken action to implement the funding restriction provisions prior to when we began our review in August 2010,” the report said.
GAO said 11 agencies — ranging from NASA to the Defense Department to the Department of Health and Human Services — indicated they moved to implement the restrictions “at least in part” because of their analysts’ inquiries.
The report also revealed that some groups with past ties to ACORN may still be eligible for funding. For instance, the Department of Housing and Urban Development wrote a memo determining that Affordable Housing Centers of America, formerly known as ACORN Housing Corporation, was “not an ACORN subsidiary, affiliate, or allied organization.” Though ACORN Housing Corporation was formed in the 1980s by ACORN organizers and shared executives and addresses with ACORN itself, GAO reached a similar conclusion in September 2010.

The ‘selective enforcement of the law’ is what allowed the KKK to reign for so long.
It’s not that it wasn’t still illegal to lynch blacks. No. The ‘terror’ lasted as long as it did because the laws were simply not enforced against certain people.
.
Its a hide the commie three card monty game. Big gov needs a thorough housecleaning.
And every last one of those folks who did NOT immediately move to enforce the will of the Congress ought to be on the street yesterday. G-damn them all.
Enough of this shit!!! Fire the managers responsible!
They damn well know better,everyone of them needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent. This has the fraud and his minions all over it.
I would like to know why the he!! this bunch of crooks was gettinng ANY money from NASA and DoD in the first place!!!!!
The cutoff will no doubt be extended to December 2012.
An adequate reason all by itself for Congress not to raise the debt ceiling.
We all need to contract our people in congress and tell them to cut funding for these agencies by about 200% of what they continued to give to ACORN.
Freaking lawbreakers. The ones responsible for continuing funding of ACORN need to be indited for breaking the law. Anyone serving Federal Grand Jury Duty has this power by asking for the evidence and then go after the suckers that are doing this.
This is just the icing on the cake. Deep corruption in government is the problem.
We need to push our reps to catalog and investigate each of these breaches in the government. Our next big push (after we get rid of Bozo and his clowns) should be government reform. It isn’t enough to change administrations, we need some deep government investigations and reform.
Fire everyone who breached the law – period!
To hell with their whining or their pleas, they knew what they were doing and they brought it upon themselves, just like Weiner.
Are Acorn employees causing obama-liberal-Romney to rank so high in the polls? WTF?
