The New York Times reports on ALEC

In today's New York Times, Mike McIntire reports on the link between ALEC and state legislators.  I've covered ALEC and Mississippi legislators before in the posts linked below.  I recommend the New York Times article, as it does a good job describing how ALEC works.  Here are previous Cottonmouth posts on ALEC:
