Kiffmeyer (R-MN) - On Hiding ALEC Expenses

Many times as researchers we have a hard time finding the information that we want.
That's because the people / things we are researching tend to be a little more creative than we imagine.

If you look at Mary Kiffmeyer (R-MN)

Report of Receipts and Expenditures for Principal Campaign Committee

Period Covered  1/1/2010 through 12/31/2010

You will find an expenditure under

Schedule B1-NCD

Vendor:   Kiffmeyer, Ralph R.

(who happens to be her husband)

6/28/2010

Conference and meeting fees    $510

ALEC

   Expenses of serving in public office

   Reimburse payee for purchases as follows

   Registration Fee

     ALEC

    Washington, DC 20005

Also, in 2010 Mary Kiffmeyer received

$5,338.35

Public Subsidy - State of Minnesota - Campaign Finance Board

Which means as a taxpayer -

I subsidized her to attend that DAMN ALEC meeting.

If there's nothing wrong with belonging to ALEC...

   Why does ALEC  hide their membership lists and

   why do ALEC members deny belonging to ALEC and

   why do ALEC members hide money spent on ALEC?

Guess that's a lesson to me that I need to be more creative

If you don’t know what ALEC is  you should –

because they are a threat to our democracy.
