WASHINGTON — Minnesota Attorney General Mike Hatch took his crusade against financial misbehavior at nonprofit health groups to Washington on Tuesday, testifying at a U.S. Senate committee hearing that the federal government should turn a watchful eye toward tax-exempt organizations.

Hatch and other panel members convened by the Senate Finance Committee, including Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Mark Everson and former White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta, contended that nonprofit organizations have changed dramatically in the past several decades, while the laws regulating them have not.
