From The Hill:
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has informed two House Republicans that it will investigate ACORN’s use of federal funds.
The GAO sent a letter to Reps. Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) (R-Texas), the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) (R-Calif.), the ranking member of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, informing them of its decision. Smith and Issa on Thursday released the letter, dated Dec. 7
“GAO accepts your request as work that is within the scope of its authority,” wrote Ralph Dawn, managing director of GAO’s government relations department.
Dawn also noted that in September, Issa, Smith and 20 members of the Senate, as well as Rep. Rush Holt (D-N.J.), requested the GAO investigation.
Issa applauded the GAO for looking into the ACORN controversy.
