The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is a corporate bill mill exerting extraordinary and
secretive influence in the Missouri legislature and in other states. Through ALEC, corporations hand
Missouri legislators wish lists in the form of "model" legislation that often directly benefit their
bottom line at the expense of Missouri families. Behind closed doors, numerous ALEC model bills are
crafted by corporations, for corporations. Elected officials who are members of ALEC bring ALEC
legislation back to Missouri, where they claim them as their own ideas and important public policy
innovations without disclosing that corporations crafted and pre-voted on the bills at closed-door
meetings with legislators who are part of ALEC.
ALEC provides legislators with a means to appear highly active in the legislative process by secretly
abdicating their job drafting legislation to corporate special interests."It is funded and dominated
by free-market and corporate interests," writes the Kansas City Star, "who work with like-minded
legislators to shield corporations from legal action, limit the rights of workers, disenfranchise voters,radically privatize the public education system, hinder the ability of government to regulate and curb
polluters, and further skew our democracy in the favor of corporations and their political allies."
Progress Missouri has identified more than 40 Missouri bills that directly echo ALEC models. ALEC
bills in Missouri include so-called right to work laws, bans on implementation of the Common Core
State Standards, resolutions supporting the Keystone XL pipeline, an act relating to wireless
communication towers, voter registration hurdles, a "parent trigger act," a "parents rights"

As noted by the Center for Media and Democracy's ALEC Exposed project, the American
Legislative Exchange Council is not simply a lobbying group or a front group. It is much more
powerful than that.Corporations behind ALEC's closed doors hand state legislators the changes
to the law that they desire that directly benefit their bottom line. Along with legislators,
corporations have membership in ALEC. Corporations sit on all nine ALEC task forces and vote
with legislators to approve "model" bills, and also fund almost all of ALEC's operations.
Participating legislators, who are overwhelmingly conservative Republicans, bring ALEC
proposals back to Missouri and other statehouses as their own ideas and important public
policy innovations, without disclosing that corporations crafted and pre-voted on the bills
alongside legislators in closed-door meetings at fancy resorts. ALEC boasts that up to 1,000 of
their bills are introduced by legislative members every year. ALEC describes itself as a "unique,""unparalleled" and "unmatched" organization.
"ALEC is a group funded by corporations and conservative activists. It beguiles
conservative state lawmakers with wining and dining at annual conferences
and the chance to mingle with deep-pocketed donors. In return, lawmakers
promote the group's 'model legislation,' bills aimed at things like strippingworkers of protections and requiring photo identification to vote."

ALEC provides legislators with a means to appear highly active in the legislative process whileoutsourcing by transferring their role in drafting legislation to corporate special interests"It is
funded and dominated by free-market and corporate interests,"writes the Kansas City Star,
"who work with like-minded legislators to push various agendas." And what are these various
corporate agendas? Here is a taste:
TAKING AWAY WORKERS' RIGHTS WHILE SHIELDING CORPORATIONS FROM ACCOUNTABILITY
ALEC works fervently to promote laws that would shield corporations from
legal accountability to Missouri citizens and limit the rights of workers in the
state.The group's model legislation would roll back laws regarding corporate
liability for harming state residents, workers' compensation and on-the-job
protections, collective bargaining and organizing rights, prevailing wage and
minimum wage laws. ALEC is a main proponent of bills that undermine organized
labor by stripping public employees of collective bargaining rights and that
weaken the power of workers in the private sector through so-called "right to
work"laws. They also push "regulatory flexibility"laws that lead to massive
deregulation of rules designed to protect the health of Missouri families.
TAKING AWAY VOTERS' FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS
ALEC isdirectly tiedto thetrend among state legislaturesto limit the ability of
American citizens to vote through restrictive "voter ID" laws. Using
demonstrably false allegations of "voter fraud " right-wing politicians are

7/96
PRIVATIZING PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Despite constitutional problems, negative impacts on public schools, bias against
disadvantaged students, and comprehensive studies that demonstrate that
private school voucher programs failed to make any substantial improvements to
education, ALECpushes vouchers as a way to privatize public education and
transfer Missouri tax dollars from public institutions to private profits. Under
theguise of "school choice," ALEC pushes bills with titles like "Parental Choice
Scholarship Act" and the "Education Enterprise Act" that establish or expand
private school voucher programs.
PROTECTING POLLUTERS
At the bidding of its major donors like Peabody Energy, Exxon Mobil and Koch
Industries,ALEC is a powerful force behind state-level legislationthat would
hinder the ability of the people to curb polluters through governmental power.
ALEC has previouslysaidthat carbon dioxide "is beneficial to plant and human
life alike," and itpromotes climate change denialism.The group's model
legislation assails EPA emissions guidelines and greenhouse gas regulations,
destabilizes regional climate initiatives, permits free-reign for energy
corporations, and pushes for massive deregulation of some of the biggest
polluters on the planet.
UNDERMINING PUBLIC SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURES
As states face challenging budget deficits, ALEC wants to make it more difficult

9/96
Identifying the list of Missouri legislators who are part of ALEC is a difficult task, because ALECoperates largely in secret. Even though it claims to be a legislative membership organization,
there is no full list of legislators that are members of ALEC anywhere on their website.
However, we do have a few sources open to us: theMissouri Ethics Commission,Sunshine Law
requests with Capitol offices, andthe Center for Media and Democracy.Progress Missouri has
identified almost more than 60 Missouri legislators and politicians as ALEC members and
supporters through state Sunshine Law requests and reviews of Missouri Ethics Commission
data. The community of researchers supporting the Center for Media and Democracy's
ALECExposed.com website have also identified additional Missouri politicians as ALEC members
and supporters, all of whom are also listed below, bringing the total to over 60 elected officials.

There is a strange irony in spending taxpayer dollars to attend a group that is supposedly dedicated to limited government to learn how
to slash the public systems and structures upon which average citizens rely. Yet ALEC politicians in Missouri have put the state on the hook
for thousands of dollars for travel and memberships with this corporate group. In an era of cuts to education and public services, Progress
Missouri has found the following taxpayer-financed expenses to ALEC:

PARTISAN Campaign FUNDS SPENT ON ALEC Memberships & Travel
Perhaps it is proper that campaign funds have been used frequently by politicians to attend ALECs secret meetings of lobbyists and corporate donors.
ALEC claims to be non-partisan and claims to conduct zero lobbying, yet even member politicians seem to be confused on the nebulous purpose of
ALEC.

8/13/2019 ALEC in Missouri - 2014 Report
23/96
The Center for Media and Democracy:"The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) hasraised and spent an estimated $4 million in funds from its corporate backers since 2006 to pay
for state lawmakers trips to meet with corporate CEOs and lobbyists at ALEC sponsored events
at posh retreats, according to internal ALEC documents and other investigative work...
"The scheme works like this: ALEC state chairs (hand-picked legislators and private-sector
members) solicit corporate money that goes into a Scholarship Fund that is then used to
pay for lawmakers trips. Records show that ALEC legislators know whos paying their way
some state leaders even urge lawmakers to send thank-you notes to their patrons
but everyone else is kept in the dark. ALEC claims to the IRS that it does not have to report the
money spent on elected officials because it is just holding the funds 'in trust' for lawmakers. But
at the same time, it promises corporate donors that they can get a tax write-off for their
donations."
For more information, see the Center for Media and Democracy's "Buying Influence; How the
American Legislative Exchange Council Uses Corporate-Funded Scholarships to Send
Lawmakers on Trips with Corporate Lobbyists" reporthere.The following chart is found in said
report:

Some Missouri lobbyists abuse the ability to declare the recipients of their gifts as entire groups of officials, thereby limiting the publics ability to
know which legislators are wined and dined on ALEC-related trips. Even when the recipients of the gifts are clearly a small group of legislators,
gifts have been reported as going to Entire General Assembly, MO House, MO Senate, All Statewide Elected Officials & All Legislators, orCaucuses. For example, EMBARQ lobbyist Charles Simino told the Missouri Ethics Commission that he gave $1,000 in Chicago Cubs tickets a 2008
ALEC event to the Entire General Assembly.

8/13/2019 ALEC in Missouri - 2014 Report
34/96
For decades, Republican politicians and powerful corporate interests have pushed so-called
right to work bills that are all about politics -- not economics. This legislation is designed by
ALEC corporate interests and their allied politicians to harm their political opponents by
eliminating public employee unions seen as supporting elected officials that look out for
workers' interests.
