Former ACORN official gets probation

[DearAbby]

LAS VEGAS - A former Las Vegas supervisor for the political advocacy group ACORN was sentenced Monday to up to three years' probation for his role in a plan to pay canvassers to register Nevada voters during last year's presidential campaign.

"I just want to say I take responsibility for what I did," Christopher Edwards told a judge who responded that he was "not pleased to say the least" by allegations that Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now paid bonuses to canvassers who collected 21 or more voter registration cards in August and September 2008.

"I'm sorry. I truly am," Edwards said, "and it will never happen again."

In the end, Clark County District Court Judge Donald Mosley approved a state attorney general's office plea agreement granting the 33-year-old Edwards probation in return for his testimony against ACORN and a former regional supervisor.
