The big, the bold Scott Walker promises more ALEC model policy plagiarism for Wisconsin


From an email solicitation sent to supporters.


Wisconsin as a model for other states?

I hardly think so.

The reality is....

ALEC’s Influence over Lawmaking in State Legislatures.  (Brookings Institution, 12/6/2013)
My findings are threefold. First, ALEC model bills are, word-for-word, introduced in our state legislatures at a non-trivial rate. Second, they have a good chance – better than most legislation – of being enacted into law. Finally, the bills that pass are most often linked to controversial social and economic issues. In the end, I argue that this is not good for ALEC, its corporate partners, or for the democratic process.
