ACORN’s Eaton Edgar Hilbert, California ACORN’s board chairman, and Amy Schur, California ACORN’s head organizer, announce its independent review:

Our top priority in the coming days is to complete an audit of our programs and services. An independent team of experts, including John Podesta, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, Henry Cisneros, Andrew Stern and others, is reviewing the administration of these services. They will return with a top-to-bottom analysis of what we’re doing well and what needs improvement. We pledge to adopt whatever reforms are recommended by this process.

Prediction: The problems occured due to a lack of funding for oversight activites. Solution: More government money.
