From The Boston Herald:
Republican U.S. Senate candidate Scott Brown blasted his Democratic rival Attorney General Martha Coakley yesterday for failing to crack down on two local chapters of the controversial liberal group ACORN despite their repeated failure to file financial reports with her office.
“It appears as though the attorney general is looking the other way,” said state Sen. Scott Brown. “It’s her job to determine whether non-profits are properly licensed to do business, especially when they oversee state funds.”
The local office of ACORN – a grassroots organization that enrolls voters and helps secure housing for low-income families – never filed annual reports with the AG’s public charities division in 2006 and 2008, as required by law. Also, ACORN Housing – a branch of the organization which has received a $33,000 state grant – hasn’t filed a report since 2006.
