ALEC: Kill Medicaid, Privatize Schools, Expand Gas Exports, Screw the Planet
ALEC Agenda in Dallas: Evisceration of Medicaid, School Privatization and Expansion of Gas Exports. ALEC’s task forces will consider bills to make it virtually impossible to enroll in Medicaid, expand charter schools to further bankrupt traditional public schools, expand exports of “natural gas” from fracking, and undermine the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Clean Air and Clean Water Act regulations.
Is the Future of the Planet in ALEC’s Secret Hands? Tomorrow, the American Legislative Exchange Council kicks off its annual meeting in Dallas. According to the agenda, legislators will be schooled on how industry wants them to talk about climate change, with a heavy focus on the EPA’s new regulations. Corporate lobbyists from ExxonMobil, BP and Koch Industries will be crafting model legislation.
