Ties to American Legislative Exchange Council
Nolan is on the Private Sector Executive Committee of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) as of 2011. From 1978 through 1993 (when he "was targeted for prosecution for a campaign contribution he accepted which turned out to be part of an FBI sting. He pleaded guilty to one count of racketeering and served 29 months in a federal custody"), he was a member of the California State Assembly.[2] During this time, he was First Vice Chairman of ALEC's Board of Directors.[3]
| About ALEC |
|---|
ALEC is a corporate bill mill. It is not just a lobby or a front group; it is much more powerful than that. Through ALEC, corporations hand state legislators their wishlists to benefit their bottom line. Corporations fund almost all of ALEC's operations. They pay for a seat on ALEC task forces where corporate lobbyists and special interest reps vote with elected officials to approve “model” bills.
