Ties to the American Legislative Exchange Council
McKay served on the Private Enterprise Board of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) as of 2011.[2] On April 5, 2012, McKay told CMD that Intuit had decided not to renew its ALEC membership and board seat in 2011.[3]
| About ALEC |
|---|
ALEC is a corporate bill mill. It is not just a lobby or a front group; it is much more powerful than that. Through ALEC, corporations hand state legislators their wishlists to benefit their bottom line. Corporations fund almost all of ALEC's operations. They pay for a seat on ALEC task forces where corporate lobbyists and special interest reps vote with elected officials to approve “model” bills.
