ACORN - good know who their friends are.

Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Henry Cisneros will be involved in a review of the controversial taxpayer-funded organization ACORN.

"I said to some of the ACORN officials yesterday, something is fundamentally wrong with the culture of the organization when that can happen," Cisneros said. "Even if they were suckered, even it was done falsely, it still indicates the organization has some shaping up to do."

"Any organization that takes public money has to be accountable, has to be transparent, has to be effective and ACORN has some work to do," he said.
