State investigators taking dozens of computers from ACORN office on Canal Street
They are also carrying records out of the building on handcarts.
ACORN staffers were given no notice that a search would be conducted today
Caldwell's office issued subpoenas for records from ACORN's New Orleans office,
Today's search is an outgrowth of those subpoenas, which stemmed from an investigation by Caldwell's office into the embezellement of ACORN funds by Dale Rathke, a brother of the organization's founder, Wade Rathke
The computers contain all payroll information for the national organization,
People inside and close to ACORN were angered by news last spring that Dale Rathke had taken close to $1 million from the organization, which is billed as an advocate for poor and working-class people.
clipper's remarks: Oh my. It will be interesting to know what all they find. Course there has been plenty of time to get rid of some things. I guess the man with the cart didn't want any one in Washington to know who he is.
