Gov. Tim Pawlenty jumped into the ACORN fray Wednesday by ordering a freeze on all state payments to the embattled community-organizer group.
But, as the Star Tribune reports, currently no state funds go to the group. ACORN’s Kevin Whelan told the paper the organization has never gotten money from the state, “and there’s certainly not a dime to cut off right now.”
In his letter, Pawlenty made reference to recent scandals and U.S. Senate sanctions in his letter to Minnesota Commissioner of Management and Budget Tom Hanson.
Here is the letter (pdf):
So from here on out Minnesota won’t fund Fox News teams seeking to start up brothels via ACORN.

Thank you Superman, er, I mean Governor, for swooping in with your superhero cape fluttering and putting an end to evil-doing before it even happened. If you hadn’t taken swift action, no one could have put an end to something that never happened.

I’d like to stop all state funding of Pawlenty. He doesn’t work here any more. Why should we be paying him?

If he is elected POTUS will he be our dictator in chief?
Can he arbitrarily cut off monies like that without input from the legislature?
You know the legislature that makes up the budget that He signed?
Is that legal?
