PLS Don't bring ALEC to the Local Level!!

Saw this article this morning and it scared me more than anything.  This coupled with the fact that three ALEC past state legislators are running for MN county offices and the MN state private sector chair is running for a park commissioner position, as I wrote about earlier.

It is bad enough that ALEC members are screwing up our government at the state and federal levels - we do NOT need ALEC members at the local levels of government.

From Arizona

Chandler Mayor Jay Tibshraeny

As a member of the American Legislative Exchange Council, served on Civil Justice Task Force and Tax and Fiscal Policy Task Force.

The commission served as a springboard to the Chandler City Council, where Tibshraeny began working in 1986. After serving as vice mayor, he was elected mayor in 1994, a post he held until successfully pursuing a bid for a state Senate seat eight years later.

Though the path from municipal to state government is fairly common among successful public officials, Tibshraeny after an eight-year run in the Legislature did something most other state officials don’t: He came back, to serve an unprecedented fifth term as mayor.
