"Minn.'s Pawlenty orders review of state ACORN ties

Associated Press - September 16, 2009 5:04 PM ET

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - A left-leaning community organizing group says it has no contracts with Minnesota that would be impaired by Gov. Tim Pawlenty's directive to cut off state money.

Pawlenty on Wednesday ordered a review and suspension of public contracts with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, known as ACORN. The potential 2012 presidential candidate says no state money would go to ACORN unless legally obligated.

ACORN is under fire after a hidden-camera story alleging illegal activities by some of its workers.

ACORN deputy political director Kevin Whelan says there are no present contracts that would be affected in Minnesota. Whelan says Pawlenty's move "seems like it's motivated by politics or publicity."" Minn.'s Pawlenty orders review of state ACORN ties - WQOW TV: Eau Claire, WI NEWS18 News, Weather, and Sports
