Its all the Rathkes' fault

ACORN's CEO Bertha Lewis claims Attorney General Buddy Caldwell's investigation and subpoena for information concerning an alleged missing $5 million dollars is based upon false information from two former ACORN board members. Ms. Lewis also says the organization is busy cleaning up the mess left by Wade Rathke, ACORN's founder and the $5 million dollar figure is based upon the estimate that it will cost that much over the next 2 years for lawyers, accountants and expenses associated with the clean up of the mess she inherited.
