“Ohio Clergy Group Seeks IRS Probe Of Exempt Status of Free Market Group”

Bloomberg BNA: “Clergy VOICE, a group of central Ohio Christian clergy of various denominations, has asked the Internal Revenue Service to sanction the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), or strip it of its tax code Section 501(c)(3) charity status, claiming that the group has misrepresented its activities to the Service, the states, and the public in order to advance its legislative agenda. In a letter to IRS released July 1, Rev. Eric Williams, a United Church of Christ pastor in Columbus, said the 19 religious leaders who requested the IRS probe ‘are deeply rooted in our religious beliefs.’ The complaint was filed by Caplin & Drysdale attorney Marc Owens.”
