'Smart' ALECs running Richmond - Inside NoVA

…one particular pro-business group exercises what seems to be a huge amount of influence over pro-business lawmakers. (Of course, if we ever spot any “anti-busi­ness” lawmakers out there — something that hasn’t been located since the beginning of the republic — we’ll be sure to let you know.) The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is generally described by its members as “pro-business” and “free-market.” And lawmakers who support their priorities, it turns out, also can be ALEC members — and no less than 115 cur­rent or former state lawmak­ers have such ties, according to the study. In fact, akin to the revolving door of con­gressmen­turned-highly­paid lobbyists in Washing­ton, ALEC leaders in Virginia have been known to go on to legislative leadership posts in Richmond, and vice versa. They may be totally different jobs, but they in­volve all the same group of people.
