re: #1105 Stonemason

see my1079…if I get a minute I ill try to figure out what Acorn got last year from the feds, that is the number that they will specifically (without being named, how convenient) get for the net two yeas.

That’s not correct. The fact that the allocation between various types of agencies (e.g. state, local, non-profit) would be made in the same proportion as in 2008 does not mean that the same non-profit organizations would get it. They would be ELIGIBLE to BID for it.

See, for example, this report (datelined last Tuesday)(already posted by JCM, above):

Republican lawmakers are raising concerns that ACORN, the low-income advocacy group under investigation for voter registration fraud, could be eligible for billions in aid from the economic stimulus proposal working its way through the House.

House Republican Leader John Boehner issued a statement over the weekend noting that the stimulus bill wending its way through Congress provides $4.19 billion for “neighborhood stabilization activities.”

He said the money was previously limited to state and local governments, but that Democrats now want part of it to be available to non-profit entities. That means groups like ACORN would be eligible for a portion of the funds.

Doesn’t matter. The bill still sux, big time. If it get enacted, ACORN is going to be among the least of our problems.
