In spite of the loss of numerous corporate sponsorships, ALEC is stronger than ever, and will be manipulating state legislators through 2015 and beyond. And some of those misguided elected officials will be sitting in chairs they dont deserve in Raleigh, signing their names to bills crafted by businessmen from other states. Its become obvious that NCs traditional media outlets are either incapable or not interested in exposing those connections to the general public, so its left up to us to detect and expose individual pieces of legislation that slither into the NC General Assembly, and maybe the shame will shut off that pipeline. By us I mean you, too, because the sheer number of lawmakers, combined with the variety of cookie-cutter bills that may be introduced, is going to require a crowd-sourcing approach to cover all the bases. prwatch.org/news/2014/12/12697/alec-sharpens-attack-environmental-safeguards
