BOSTON — Republican U.S. Senate candidate Scott Brown has filed a bill to prohibit ACORN from receiving state grants or serving as a state-approved housing counselor in Massachusetts.
Two employees at the Baltimore branch of the liberal community organizing group were videotaped allegedly offering advice about evading taxes to a couple posing as a pimp and prostitute.
The U.S. House recently voted overwhelmingly to suspend all federal funding to the group. The legislation filed by Brown — a state senator — legislation is modeled after the bill.
ACORN Housing received a $33,000 grant last April from the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation. It used the money to counsel first-time homebuyers and homeowners facing possible foreclosure.
