Stop ALEC in Michigan

Snyder’s State of the State address kicked off his bid for re-election and showed everyone in Michigan just how far to the right he has lurched since taking office. Snyder called for a constitutional amendment requiring a balanced federal budget and put Senator Mike Green in charge of the effort. What he failed to mention is that Sen. Mike Green is the state co-chair of ALEC, you know, the corporate bill mill that pushes legislation like Right to Work for less and Stand Your Ground laws. Sen. Mike Green introduced his balanced budget amendment and to no one’s surprise, it is very similar to the ALEC model legislation being pushed by corporations across the country.
