The Treasury Department is the latest to launch an investigation into Obama’s favorite community organization. Fox News reports:
In the latest consequence of the growing scandal, Treasury Department Inspector General J. Russell George told House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Ranking Member Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs Ranking Member Susan Collins, R-Maine, on Thursday that his office will take up their request to investigate ACORN’s relationship to federal agencies.
“Cutting ties with ACORN is a good first step for the federal government, but since they have been the recipients of taxpayer dollars, we have an obligation to investigate to discover whether or not those dollars were misused in anyway,” Issa said.
But is the federal government really cutting ties with ACORN? It’s too soon to tell. They are doing their best to cover up the ties between ACORN and Big Labor. Don Loos has the full scoop at Big Government.
Even before U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis was sworn in, Big Labor insiders like AFL-CIO lawyer and Obama appointee Deborah Greenfield were busily dismantling useful union financial disclosures produced by former Labor Secretary Elaine Chao. It’s another Big Government – Big Labor partnership aimed at keeping individual workers, whom they claim to represent, in the dark.
Why the hurry? Perhaps Union Bosses wanted to prevent the Virginia GOP and inquisitive people like Patrick Semmens from visiting DOL’s UnionReports.gov website that clearly reveals the Big Labor-ACORN collusion. Semmens discovered that teachers’ union bosses gave about $500,000 to the same Brooklyn ACORN office exposed on BigGovernment.com. Both the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) awarded ACORN service contracts.
That’s right; union bosses gave teachers’ forced union dues to the same ACORN that appeared to have no problem facilitating child prostitution. No wonder Solis’ Big Labor friends want to shutdown financial disclosure!
In fact, UnionReports.gov provides detailed union financial reports and is a primary source for many union members, reporters, columnists, bloggers, and researchers. But, the days of disclosure are numbered. Big Labor has commanded Labor Secretary Solis to shut it all down. …
