Census Severs Relationship With ACORN

[merig00]

jake tapper: The Census Bureau late this afternoon “severed” its relationship with the non-profit housing and grassroots community organizing group ACORN for the 2010 Census. - ACORN - the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now - bills itself as “the nation's largest community organization of low and moderate income families.” - Census Bureau spokesman Stephen Buckner said officials in the bureau, which is part of the Department of Commerce, had been concerned with news reports about ACORN for awhile and “had been monitoring them.”
