Mcentee: ALEC Works in Secrecy, Utah Activists in Public

In the case of ALEC, the frustration of the activists and the public is
understandable. Dozens of Utah lawmakers, all of them Republicans, are
members of ALEC, which works in secrecy to produce hundreds of model bills
about those same issues.
.
But its done behind closed doors in that posh hotel, and no one but the
players have a voice. As Bob Edgar of Common Cause put it, there are
plenty of special interests, checkbooks, lobbyists and a goal of
privatizing many functions that we now pay for and therefore have a say
about.
.
Now, ALEC maintains it does no lobbying, but as Edgar said, "that doesnt
pass the smell test." Nor, he said, does the organizations claim that it
is a tax-exempt public charity. Common Cause has filed a whistleblower
complaint against ALEC with the Internal Revenue Service.
.
"They have a checklist," he said. "Health care, global warming, climate
issues. Lobbying is a pretty clear activity."
.
So is ALECs emphasis on making it harder for voters to vote....
