Some Tennessee Republicans are getting tired of the Koch brothers meddling
in their state politics.
.
The billionaire libertarians pour cash into Republican campaigns and steer
pro-business policies through their Americans for Prosperity organization
which attacks GOP lawmakers who are insufficiently supportive.
.
Thats what happened to state Rep. Kevin Brooks (R-Cleveland), who asked
his GOP colleagues to at least consider Republican Gov. Bill Haslams plan
to use federal dollars and extend Medicaid health coverage to 280,000
low-income residents through his Insure Tennessee proposal, reported The
Tennessean.
.
AFP launched a series of radio ads claiming that Brooks, the House
assistant majority leader, had betrayed voters by flip-flopping on
Obamacare.
.
Insure Tennessee ultimately failed twice in this years General Assembly
after AFP attacks on Brooks and GOP state Reps. Jimmy Eldridge and John
Holsclaw for their perceived support of the governors plan.
.
But the Koch brothers disproportionate influence on the states politics
rubbed some Republicans, including the governors top political adviser,
the wrong way.
.
Tom Ingram, the advisor to Haslam and a registered lobbyist during the
last session for a business group supporting Insure Tennessee, blames the
situation on the U.S. Supreme Courts 2010 Citizens United decision.
.
He said AFP is able to pour money directly and indirectly into state
politics and push their agenda in ways that individual voters cannot.
