The Evil Stench Of ALEC....

[Laxman]

why we need to take big money out of politics. Corporations have always known that state legislators can be purchased very cheaply and every dime spent to buy one is a great investment.

1. Visible Corruption.....................

must be nice to be a corrupt elected official taking money / bribe money to boot without any ETHOS what so ever and bragging about it.
Then to top it all off have that goofy smile like the joker in the Batman series and then having that holier than thou mantra of deceit and deception

3. The ALEC Angle in Scott Walker's "Toxic Strain of Racial Politics"

"In 1997, then-Representative Walker introduced (and the legislature passed) the ALEC "Truth-in-Sentencing Act," which limits opportunities for parole or supervised release.

"Clearly ALEC had proposed [Truth-in-Sentencing] model legislation," Walker told American Radio Works in 2002, even though there was no mention of ALEC when the legislature was considering the bill. ALEC also promoted three strikes laws throughout the 1990s.

Members of the ALEC Criminal Justice Task Force at the time included for-profit prison providers like Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), which stood to profit from ALEC bills that lengthen sentences and privatize prisons. (See this graphic from American Radio Works explaining the CCA-ALEC-Wisconsin sentencing law connection).

Walker said that he took into account the fact that CCA and other ALEC members could make money from the truth-in-sentencing bill."
