How the IRS’s Nonprofit Division Got So Dysfunctional

The IRS division responsible for flagging Tea Party groups has long been an agency afterthought, beset by mismanagement, financial constraints and an unwillingness to spell out just what it expects from social welfare nonprofits, former officials and experts say.

    Please! The IRS's actions over the past few years go way beyond dysfunctional. "No one, including the IRS and the inspector general, has presented evidence that political bias was a factor, although congressional and FBI investigators are taking another look.” If this statement was even remotely true, that political bias was not a factor, this would not be a story. To further suggest that this is a product of poorly trained and underpaid employees in the Cinn office is insulting. Somehow progressive non-profits got through the system just fine in this period, while tea-party like groups were held up. I think it sounds like some of these IRS employees were quite effective at their jobs and in their goal of holding targeted groups back. Pro-publica, I am disappointed in your coverage.
