ALEC Demands ACORN State Funding Be Cut Off

The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), the nation’s largest non-partisan, individual membership association of state legislators, said it has identified several states which continue to provide funding for ACORN and its affiliates, including New York ($415,000), Pennsylvania ($205,000), Georgia ($104,000), and Illinois ($100,000).

In response, ALEC’s members have passed a resolution calling on all states to conduct audits to identify and immediately end all funding to ACORN and its affiliates.
