Despite what the left-wing media has claimed, the state of Illinois does have official relationships with scandal-plagued ACORN. A 2008 report from the Illinois Housing Development Authority showed that ACORN's housing subsidiary received a $100,000 grant from the agency to build its Predatory Lending Database Program. Somehow, this grant just happens to not appear in the Illinois Comptroller's database."Somehow"? And why isn't someone investigating this?

BREAKING NEWS: KELLY CONFRONTS GIANNOULIAS ON ACORN-TAINTED SEIU ENDORSEMENT
Kelly Responds to Miller’s Attack on Capitol Fax
Statement by William J. Kelly, Candidate for Illinois Comptroller
In response to the attacks by Rich Miller’s Capitol Fax blog, Illinois Comptroller candidate William J. Kelly writes:
“Since Tuesday, Rich Miller’s Capitol Fax blog has been attacking me and my campaign for Illinois Comptroller without the opportunity for counterpoint. We produced a video piece questioning U.S. Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias on the appropriateness of his SEIU endorsement and its ties to ACORN. It is interesting that a well-known political writer like Miller would resort to ridicule to devalue and undermine free speech – mine or my supporters i.e. outsiders capable of real reform. Regardless, I see no reason to play by the rules, especially when the truth is not being told. That is supposed to be the media’s job. I will make no apologies for being aggressive on behalf of the truth.”William J. Kelly is exactly the kind of guy we need in office right now...and as soon as he can get in, we need him IN...I believe he will do exactly as he has promised - which, understandably, has the "status quo" in a state of outrage.
“Miller wonders why I focus my attention on Alexi Giannoulias when I am running for Illinois Comptroller? It’s simple. Substantively, all of Illinois’ problems can be traced to the deeply rooted culture of nepotism and political entitlement by the sons and daughters of senators, bank presidents, assorted elites and hacks. As treasurer, Giannoulias has messed up Illinois’ finances and now he wants a promotion to the U.S. Senate. But anybody that has had to live and work in the real world knows that when you lose $85 million, especially for Illinois families, you are in no position to ask for a promotion. Alexi’s deputy treasurer, Raja Krishnamoorthi is already an announced candidate for Illinois Comptroller. The circle of insiders has to end in order for Illinois to have real reform and that story is not being told.”
“The media will attack me as just a TV host trying to be a politician. However, I have been an anti-tax advocate and activist for years. I could be very happy to sit back and continue to grow my TV projects that I have worked very hard to create. Unlike many in the Chicago inner circle, nothing has been handed to me on a silver platter. But, as a lifelong resident of Chicago and truly love it and the state of Illinois, I cannot sit back and watch as the elites further destroy our state.”
“With every new political scandal in the state of Illinois, we have to redefine the definition of rock bottom. ACORN-SEIU connections, both Illinois and nationally, have the potential to go beyond anything we have seen thus far. As Comptroller, I promise to investigate why our state is bankrupt, where has the money gone, and what has been the role of these shady associations with ACORN, SEIU, and other special interests.”
“We have an excellent opportunity to turn this state around. None of this should be a partisan issue. If that sounds “strange” by Rich Miller’s standards, then, I’ll take it.”
