Ties to the American Legislative Exchange Council
The Common Sense Institute hosted an event focused on Medicaid in New Jersey in which one of the featured speakers was Christie Herrera, director of the ALEC Health and Human Services Task Force.[2] The CSINJ also has ties to ALEC through its membership with the State Policy Network, who in turn is an ALEC member.
| 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.
