Census Bureau severs ties with ACORN
In the wake of a second videotape surfacing of ACORN employees counseling a pimp and prostitute on establishing their business and evading taxes, the Census Bureau has severed ties with ACORN.
``ACORN has dissolved as a national structure of state organizations,'' said a senior official close to the group, who declined to be identified by name because of the fierce conservative attacks on the group that began when a conservative filmmaker caught some staffers of its tax advisory arms on tape appearing to offer advice on incorporating a prostitution business.
