The House GOP leadership wants President Obama and the IRS to sever the services’ ties with Acorn after an expose showed Acorn staffers with the group’s low-income tax prep service offering advice to clients posing as a youth prostitution ring.
The IRS letter calls on Commissioner Douglas Shulman “to sever all ties… Currently, ACORN serves as partner with the IRS to assist low and middle class individuals with free tax preparation.”
The leaders, including Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) and GOP Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) pointed to recent comments by Ron Smith, IRS Chief of Community and Volunteer Partnership, that “ACORN has had the most significant growth of all of our national partners.”
