Steve Seale named as national Chairman of Private Enterprise Advisory Council for ALEC

Steve Seale, former Mississippi State Senator and former Chief Counsel to US Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, has been named 2013-2014 National Chairman of the Private Enterprise Advisory Council of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). In his role as Private Enterprise Advisory Council Chairman, Seale will coordinate interaction between ALEC private sector member companies and their representatives with the more than 2000 ALEC state legislative members from around the country.

Notice the difference?

Private Enterprise Advisory Council for ALEC

     This is the new name for the

     "Private Enterprise" Board of Directors

This is part of the ALEC "re-organization" - the  Edelman PR whitewashing of ALEC - happening at the secretive ALEC offices.

Now it is the

Private Enterprise Advisory Council for ALEC

and the

National Chairman

is a

lobbyist.

The new Chairman of the Private Enterprise Advisory Council 

 - has NEVER worked in the private sector

EXCEPT

 - as a lobbyist.

 

How fitting that a lobbyist will " coordinate interaction between ALEC private sector" and ALEC state legislators.
