On Wednesday, ALEC announced the launch of a new offshoot that will apply ALEC’s modus operandi of courting legislators with corporate lobbyists to draft model bills advancing corporate interests – to the local level. This new arm of ALEC, the American City County Exchange (ACCE), held its first meeting last Wednesday at the Hilton Anatole. ACCE will work in conjunction with ALEC to influence elected representatives in city and county council positions, while ALEC focuses on state legislatures. The Guardian reported: IN ACCE’s very first workshop under the simple title: “Privatization” - though in the final version the wording had been sanitized into: “Effective Tools for Promoting Limited Government.” A later workshop scheduled for Thursday is called: “Releasing Local Governments from the Grip of Collective Bargaining.”
