This special report analyzes information obtained through open records requests from D.B.A. Press, a site featuring ¯ The biggest corporate donor to ALEC’s slush fund was PhRMA – which kicked in $356,075 in 2010 original investigative reporting and source materials; the Center for Media and Democracy; and Common Cause— alone – followed by AT&T, Bayer, Eli Lilly, UST Public Affairs (tobacco), Pfizer, Crown Cork & Seal, Altria, information that ALEC has tried to keep a closely guarded secret.

Although ALEC claims to be a tax-exempt “charity”—a status now under legal challenge by Common Cause and others—it has quietly raised and spent millions from some of the biggest corporations in the world over the past ¯ The #1 state for ALEC slush funds was South Carolina, at $200,565, followed by Georgia, Mississippi, decade to fly state lawmakers around the country to resorts where they are wined and dined by corporate leaders California, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma, Arizona, and Ohio. 42 states had slush fund and lobbyists, and treated to exclusive parties at professional baseball games, cigar parties, and skeet shoots, all at activity. ALEC corporations’ expense. ¯ Some legislators were frequent flyers. At least 20 state legislators received travel worth nearly $7,000 or more during 2006-2008. The scheme works like this: ALEC state chairs (hand-picked legislators and private-sector members) solicit corporate money that goes into a “Scholarship Fund” that is then used ¯ ALEC slush funds were used to pay for or directly reimburse travel expenses for legislators, including airfare, hotel rooms and meals.

But at least ALEC claims to the IRS that it does not have to report the money spent on elected officials because it is just hold- three other states – Colorado, Indiana and South Carolina – specifically exempt ALEC from state gift ing the funds “in trust” for lawmakers.

This influence-buying scheme is illegal in some states, and should be in others.

Given the inherently unethical and potentially corrupting nature of ALEC’s slush fund scheme, we recommend that, at a minimum, existing state gift limits, bans and disclosure rules be applied to ALEC “scholarships” or modified to ensure that they do. In addition, each ALEC slush fund expenditure and donor for all past years should be immedi- “With our success rate at more than 20 percent, ately disclosed to the public.

Introduction This special report analyzes new information about how some of the biggest corporations in the world fund trips for state lawmakers to meet with their lobbyists at resorts across the country through the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a “charity.”

This data, which was secret until discovered in open records responses, shows that corporations seeking to change state laws quietly gave nearly $2 million for travel by state legislators in a recent three-year period (2006-2008.* Based on that data, we estimate that ALEC has taken in well over $4 million from corporations for lawmakers’ trips since 2006. And corporations spent money beyond that on numerous dinners and other perks for lawmakers that ALEC is “the most influential were not passed through the travel slush fund ALEC created. ALEC and its leaders have persistently refused to tell the press which corporations were funding these trips and in corporate-funded political force most what amounts. This previously hidden information about the sources and extent of these gifts of travel has come to light only of America has never heard of.” through open records requests submitted to state elected officials.

Bill Moyers, “The United States of ALEC” 3 Although ALEC prefers to dub these gifts “scholarships,” this report calls them what they are—gifts—because a trip is a thing of value being given to these elected officials.

ALEC has created a scheme to funnel money from corporations to pay for legislators’ trips, amounting to a million-dollar+ slush fund that leaves constituents in the dark about who is really footing the bills for their representatives.

This report exposes that scheme.

In some cases, such as the its legislative leaders were Republicans (there was one Democrat out of 104 legislators in leadership positions). Iowa House of Representatives, taxpayers pay the dues.

Records show that at least four states have taken steps to bar legislators from taking travel-related funds from This approach is equally inappropriate because ALEC’s core activity is to provide its private sector members corporate interests via a conduit like ALEC. and their lobbyists with a “unique” partnership, in ALEC’s words, with lawmakers to change legal policy. Re- quiring taxpayers to pay the cost of flying legislators around the country to vote behind closed doors with corporate lobbyists about changing state laws adds insult to injury. Minnesota. Since 1997, the Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board has inter- preted state laws barring gifts to apply specifically to ALEC scholarships.15 The Board found that corporations with lobbying interests were responsible for funding the gifts, ALEC v. NCSL and it ruled that filtering the funds through ALEC “does not isolate the corporations from Some ALEC members argue that ALEC meetings should be funded by taxpayers because states fund the their status as givers.” National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL). But, unlike ALEC, NCSL does not allow corporate lobbyists to vote with legislators on bills, and its leadership posts alternate between Democrats and Republicans, regardless of ideology. NCSL’s objective is to improve governmental functions. In contrast, ALEC has touted its unique mission as giving the private sector an equal voice and vote on changing the government. Massachusetts. Since 1988, the State Ethics Commission has barred legislators from accepting gifts of travel expenses from any organization of state legislators if its corporate members have an interest in matters before the state. The ruling was about gifts of travel for legislators to attend meetings with manufacturers, but its terms appear to cover And It’s Tax-Deductible? ALEC wants to have its cake and eat it too. The organization claims that slush fund donations do not have to ALEC travel “scholarships” as well. be reported to the IRS because ALEC just holds them “in trust” for legislators to spend, yet it tells corporate donors they can claim a tax deduction for their gifts.

Nebraska law bars state senators from accepting gifts (including costs of travel and lodging) of “ALEC is the recipient of funds from various outside organizations and individuals which are to be used exclusively for more than $50 per month from a principal, a lobbyist, or “anyone working on behalf scholarships on behalf of state legislators.

Imagine if a corporate lobbyist simply put a half million dollars in a bank account for lawmakers to use for trips to meet with her company about legislation she wanted passed.

The Beehive State also apparently stopped the scholarships after “It got to a point But a letter surfaced earlier this year from ALEC board member and legislative co-chair for Louisiana, Rep. where ALEC fund raising looked to some like a lobbyist was buying a trip”16 because Joseph A.

Clearly, ALEC leaders think it is appropriate that these gifts both help corporate lobbyists advance their agendas and are subsidized by taxpayers. But, if the slush fund revenue and expenses are not considered ALEC’s revenue and expenses by the IRS, then how can ALEC claim that all this corporate money passing through its to fund for lawmakers’ travel is tax-deductible?

2009 The amount of money given by corporations to ALEC’s slush fund or spent for travel by legislators in 2009 is not known. At least $41,000 was spent for the travel and expenses of Arizona legislators alone. Based on the average of the preceding three years, we estimated that at least $600,000 was spent; the actual figure remains hidden from the public.

2010 Incomplete public data is available to reveal the true extent of corporate funding of ALEC trips for state legislators in 2010. What is known from ALEC’s federal tax filing is that it had a million dollars in corporate donations to give to legislators for travel at the beginning of the year: $1,042,629. Based on incomplete data from records requests, ALEC received at least $501,215 from corporations, including a check for $356,075 from PhRMA alone. At least $90,413 was spent just on Arizona lawmakers. Total corporate funding and slush fund spending figures remain hidden from the public.

2011 According to ALEC’s tax filing, it began 2011 with $1,023,726 from corporate checks available to spend on travel for lawmaker trips. There is incomplete data to reveal the total amount received that year from corporations, but at least $144,500 was definitely received. Based on prior years with complete data, it is estimated that ALEC spent around $600,000 paying travel expenses for state legislators, although the amount may be much higher because it added 500 new members after the 2010 mid-term elections.

2012 Almost no data is available on the amount of money corporations have given to ALEC in 2012 or that has been spent funding trips for ALEC legislators. What is known is that ALEC has lost at least 41 major corporations as funders since ALEC’s extreme agenda came under increased scrutiny. This spring Georgia Rep. Calvin Hill’s staffer told ALEC legislators planning to travel to Salt Lake City for the summer gathering of lobbyists and lawmakers that, “Due to reduced participation by our private sector with our Georgia Scholarship Fund, we cannot commit to reimburse any specific amount for your attendance. . . .”

But for the defection of an unknown number of corporate donors, an estimated $600,000 would be anticipated to be spent on flights and hotel rooms for legislators from across the country. ALEC’s winter “States and Nation” meeting will be held in Washington, DC, after the presidential election and will be at the Grand Hyatt.

More than 100 corporations have given to ALEC’s slush fund for legislators’ travel in recent years. The top donors for the three-year period (2006-2008) with the most complete data available are below, in alphabetical order:

Altria Eli Lilly Reynolds America/RJ AT&T Michelin North America Reynolds Bayer HealthCare Northrop Grumman Sprint Nextel BellSouth Novartis Corporation State Farm Blue Cross Blue Shield Peabody Energy/Peabody United Parcel Service Association Investments Corp. UST Public Affairs Inc. BP Corporation Pfizer Verizon Crown Cork & Seal Company PhRMA

Blue Cross Blue Shield announced earlier this year that it was no longer funding ALEC.

Here are profiles of ALEC’s biggest junket funders, including an overview of how their corporate interests are advanced by ALEC bills.

PhRMA, the largest trade group of drug manufacturers, gave $42,276.87 between 2006 and 2008, and an additional $356,075 in 2010 to fund lawmakers’ travel. The amounts it gave in 2009, 2011 and to date in 2012 are not known.

PhRMA, which stands for “Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America,” has long had a seat on ALEC’s corporate board, known as its “Private Enterprise Board.” Its representative is Jeff Bond, Senior Vice President.

PhRMA is also on the Executive Committee of ALEC’s “Health and Human Services Task Force,” represented by Jeff Buel and Kristin Parde, according to information discovered by Common Cause. Parde received a Private Sector Member of the Year Award from ALEC in 2011. In addition to funding trips for state lawmakers, PhRMA was a “Chairman”-level sponsor of ALEC’s2011 summer meeting in New Orleans (a level of sponsorship that cost $50,000 in 2010). It also sponsored a plenary luncheon at that conference where its CEO John J. Castellani spoke.

PhRMA is one of the largest and most influential lobbying organizations in the nation. Representing 48 pharmaceutical companies, PhRMA has several registered lobbyists on staff and contracts with PR firms to promote its members' interests. PhRMA has a record of hiding its lobbying and PR activities, often by paying other organizations with names like the “United Seniors Association” (USA) or the “Consumer Alliance” to advocate industry-friendly policies. PhRMA reported spending $18,910,000 on lobbying in 2011.

A number of ALEC bills come from PhRMA’s legislative wish list, including bills that would limit the liability of pharmaceutical manufacturers if their drugs kill or injure Americans. Another ALEC proposal supports voluntary compliance versus mandatory laws for drug companies (the “Resolution In Support of the PhRMA Code and Corporate Self Regulation.”).

AT&T, the world’s largest communications company, gave $97,848 to fund trips for ALEC lawmakers between 2006 and 2008. The total amount of funding AT&T has provided ALEC is unknown.

AT&T has a seat on ALEC’s corporate board, represented by William Leahy, Vice President of State and Legislative Affairs.

AT&T services more than 68 million phone lines and it is the largest wireless carrier in the U.S. Its chairman and CEO is Randall Stephenson.

Numerous ALEC bills attempt to deregulate telecommunications, a high priority for AT&T.

Bayer Health Care gave $78,800 to fund junkets for ALEC legislators between 2006 and 2008. The amount of funding Bayer has provided ALEC is not known.

Bayer has a seat on ALEC’s corporate board, represented by Sandy Oliver, its Vice President of Public Policy and Government Affairs. Oliver is First Vice Chairman of ALEC’s corporate board.

Eli Lilly, a global drug company, gave ALEC $71,750 to fund travel for ALEC legislators during 2006-2008.

In addition, Lilly was a “Trustee” level sponsor of ALEC’s 2010 Annual Conference, and gave ALEC a $20,000 grant in 2008 to fund a project described as “Improving Outcomes or Undermining Quality? A Look at ‘Comparative Effectiveness Research’ in Medicine.” The total amount of funding Lilly has given ALEC is unknown.

Lilly is best known for the anti -depressant Prozac. Other top drugs include Zyprexa (schizophrenia and bipolar disorder), Cymbalta (depression), Gemzar, Alimta (cancer), Humalog insulin and the osteoporosis medication Evista. The company also manufactures cardiovascular and anti-infective pharmaceuticals as well as animal health products. It employs 38,080 people worldwide as of February 2012 and reported annual sales of $24.3 billion in 2011. Its chairman, president and CEO is John C. Lechleiter.

A number of ALEC bills would make it harder for Americans to hold drug companies accountable for death or injuries caused by prescription and over -the-counter drugs. One would even bar suit against makers of FDA approved drugs, even if the drugs kill or injure Americans. ALEC also favors voluntary compliance versus mandatory laws to govern drug companies

UST Public Affairs, Inc., which was affiliated with one of the world’s largest tobacco companies, gave ALEC $63,250 to fund trips for state lawmakers between 2006 and 2008. UST Inc. was purchased by Altria on January 6, 2009. UST was led by Murray M. Kessler, employed over 4,500 people worldwide and reported annual sales of almost $1.5 billion before Altria bought it.

UST Public Affairs was represented on ALEC’s corporate board by W. Preston Baldwin, UST’s Vice President for Public Affairs. Baldwin left UST to form “Centerpoint 360,” a lobbying firm. Baldwin is the Chairman of ALEC’s corporate board as of 2012. The total amount of funding provided by UST to ALEC over the years is not known.

UST Inc. was a holding company whose subsidiaries included United States Tobacco Company, U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company and International Wine & Spirits Ltd., which in turn was a holding company of Chateau Ste. Michelle Wine Estates, a vintner of premium wines. UST and its leaders were active in Republican political donor circles.

Tobacco companies like UST have been long-term funders of ALEC’s legislative agenda, dating back at least to the 1980s. Key parts of that agenda have included making it harder for Americans to win product liability suits against the manufacturers of dangerous products like cigarettes that kill and harm Americans, and passing other laws that benefit other tobacco products and affect public health.

Pfizer, which is perhaps best known for its drugs Viagra and Lipitor, has 120,700 employees worldwide as of August 2012 and reported annual sales of $67.4 billion in 2011. Its CEO is Ian Read.

A number of ALEC bills would make it harder for Americans to hold drug companies accountable for death or injuries caused by prescription and over -the-counter drugs. As noted above, one ALEC bill would even bar suit against makers of FDA-approved drugs, even if the drugs kill or injure Americans. ALEC also favors voluntary compliance versus mandatory laws to govern drug companies.

Crown Cork & Seal Company, a global company fighting to change the laws regarding asbestos, among other things, gave ALEC $54,000 to pay for trips for lawmakers between 2006 and 2008. The total amount of funding that Crown Cork has given ALEC is not known.

Crown has paid for a seat on ALEC’s “Civil Justice Task Force,” which has produced numerous bills to make it harder for Americans to hold companies accountable for damages caused by dangerous products like asbestos. Richard Krzyzanowski, General Counsel/ Emeritus, and William T. Gallagher, Esq., General Counsel, represent Crown on that task force.

Crown Holdings Inc., formerly Crown Cork & Seal Company, is an American company producing packaging. The company is the world’s largest packaging company, and as of 2008, was operating 154 plants in 42 countries, employing over 24,000 people.

It reported annual sales of $8.6 billion in 2011 and employs 20,655 people worldwide as of February 2012.

Altria, formerly Philip Morris, is the world's largest tobacco company. It gave ALEC $40,000 to pay for trips for state lawmakers between 2006 and 2008.

Altria was a “Chairman” level sponsor of the 2011 ALEC Annual Conference in New Orleans (a sponsorship that required a $50,000 donation in 2010). Altria also served as a sponsor of the Louisiana Welcome Reception at the 2011 ALEC Annual Meeting, for an untold sum. The amount of funding Altria and its predecessor, Philip Morris, have provided to ALEC over the years is not publicly known.

Altria has a seat on ALEC’s corporate board. Daniel Smith, the Western Regional Director of Altria Client Services, represents the corporation on the board as of 2012.

Altria controls about half of the U.S. tobacco market. It reported annual sales of $16.6 billion in 2011 and employs 9,900 people worldwide as of February 2012. Its chairman and CEO is Martin J. Barrington. As noted above, tobacco companies like Altria/Philip Morris and Reynolds, have been long-term funders of ALEC’s legislative agenda, dating back at least to the 1980s, and key parts of that agenda favor tobacco interests.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association (BC/BSA), the lobbying group for one of the largest providers of health insurance plans in the U.S., gave $36,750 to fund junkets for ALEC legislators between 2006 and 2008. The total amount of funding BC/BSA provided to ALEC over the years is not known. It announced this spring that it has stopped funding ALEC.

BC/BSA was also a "Director" level sponsor of 2011 ALEC Annual Conference, which in 2010 cost $10,000.

BC/BSA, whose associated nonprofit BC/BS administers Medicaid for the federal government, had previously worked with ALEC to draft a resolution that would use the issue o f states’ rights to make health care reform (and regulation of the insurance industry) unconstitutional. ALEC drafted and distributed model legislation in the form of a resolution that would effectively make both a federally created health insurance exchange and a public health insurance option illegal under the 10th Amendment to the Constitution, which guarantees certain non-specific rights to the states. Joan Gardner, a senior executive at BC/BSA admitted playing a key role in crafting the resolution. ALEC’s “Tenth Amendment/health care resolution” has been introduced in several states.

Scott Serota is the Chief Executive Officer of BC/BS itself, which has reported revenue of over $330 million and more than 800 employees. It insures directly or indirectl y nearly one-third of the U.S. population, or approximately 99 million Americans.
