Progress Florida and the Center For Media and Democracy (CMD) released a report this morning exposing the ties between Florida conservative think tanks and the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). Today’s report is a follow up on a report released last year, ALEC In Florida, which details the shadowy organization’s ties to Florida lawmakers.
From today’s press release:
The report details how JMI and FGA falsely claim to be independent, local operators when in fact they are part of the State Policy Network, a national Koch-funded, ALEC-allied network of organizations. JMI, FGA and other State Policy Network member groups advocate for a national agenda driven by out-of-state corporate actors. Be it the economy, environment, education, workers’ rights or access to health care, State Policy Network member groups promote policies that are not only designed to fatten the bottom line of their corporate funders, but are consistently harmful to Florida.
