Legislators' Ties to ALEC
Report Highlights
The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is a corporate bill mill exerting
extraordinary and secretive influence in the Missouri legislature. Through ALEC,
corporations hand Missouri legislators wish lists in the form of "model" legislation that
often directly benefit their bottom line at the expense of Missouri families. Behind
closed doors, corporations craft numerous ALEC model bills. Elected officials who are
members of ALEC bring ALEC legislation back to Missouri, where they claim them as
their own ideas and spin them as important public policy innovations without
disclosing that corporations crafted and pre-voted on the bills at closed-door meetings
with legislators who are part of ALEC.
ALEC provides legislators with a means to appear highly active in the legislative
process by secretly abdicating their job drafting legislation to corporate special
interests. "It is funded and dominated by free-market and corporate interests," writes
the Kansas City Star, "who work with like-minded legislators to shield corporations
from legal action, limit the rights of workers, disenfranchise voters, radically
privatize the public education system, hinder the ability of government to regulate
and curb polluters, and further skew our democracy in the favor of corporations and
their political allies."
Nearly 90 legislators, present and past, in Missouri have been identified as having
ties to ALEC, and the number may be much higher. Identifying the list of Missouri
legislators who are part of ALEC is a difficult task, because ALEC operates largely in
secret. Even though they claim to be a legislative membership organization, there is
no full list of members made public by the organization. Missouri legislators with ALEC
ties include former Speaker John Diehl, Lt. Governor Peter Kinder, Sen. Paul
Wieland, Sen. Mike Parson, Sen. Jay Wasson, Rep. Caleb Rowden, Rep. Tom
Flanigan, and Rep. Kenneth Wilson.
Progress Missouri identified more than 60 Missouri bills that directly echo ALEC
models. ALEC bills in Missouri include so-called right to work laws, bans on
implementation of the Common Core State Standards, resolutions supporting the
Keystone XL pipeline, an act relating to wireless communication towers, voter
registration hurdles, a "parent trigger act," a "parents rights" resolution, purely
political resolutions "reaffirming 10th amendment rights," a "private attorney
retention act," an Anti-Affordable Care Act ballot measure, a resolution opposing food
and beverage taxes, an "asbestos fairness act," a resolution supporting the electoral
college, a "castle doctrine" law, a resolution encouraging congress to undermine Social
Security, and a "private property protection act."
ALEC 101
The Corporate Bill Mill Remaking Missouri Law
As noted by the Center for Media and Democracy's ALEC Exposed project, the
American Legislative Exchange Council is not simply a lobbying group or a front
group. It is much more powerful than that. Corporations behind ALEC's closed doors
hand state legislators the changes to the law that they desire that directly benefit
their bottom line. Along with legislators, corporations have membership in ALEC.
Corporations sit on all nine ALEC task forces and vote with legislators to approve
"model" bills, and also fund almost all of ALEC's operations.
Participating legislators, who are overwhelmingly conservative Republicans, bring
ALEC proposals back to Missouri as their own ideas and important public policy
innovations, without disclosing that corporations crafted and pre-voted on the bills
alongside legislators in closed-door meetings at fancy resorts. ALEC boasts that it
has over 1,000 of these bills introduced by legislative members every year, with at
least one in every five of them enacted into law. ALEC describes itself as a "unique,"
"unparalleled" and "unmatched" organization.
ALEC and its adherents including GOP leaders in both state capitols
have been responsible for some of the most contentious legislative battles
of recent years. Many of them involve preserving and enhancing major
corporate and industrial interests, especially those of its fossil-fuel
funders such as Koch Industries. Or, asALECputs it, Championing Policies
to Enhance Prosperity.
- Kansas City Star, 07/31/2014
"ALEC is a group funded by corporations and conservative activists.
It beguiles conservative state lawmakers with wining and dining at
annual conferences and the chance to mingle with deep-pocketed
donors. In return, lawmakers promote the group's 'model
legislation,' bills aimed at things like stripping workers of

protections and requiring photo identification to vote."
Why would a legislator be interested in advancing cookie-cutter bills that are
giveaways for multinational corporations located outside of Missouri? ALEC's appeal
rests largely on the fact that legislators receive trips, food and lodging that provide
many part-time legislators and their families with vacations, along with the
opportunity to rub shoulders with prospective donors to their political campaigns. For
a few hours of work on a task force and a couple of workshops by ALEC experts, parttime legislators can bring the whole family to ALEC's annual convention, vote in
private meetings with corporate lobbyists, stay in swanky hotels and attend parties,
all heavily subsidized by the corporate till. As the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported
after the 2011 ALEC conference in New Orleans, "corporate benefactors made sure
Missouri lawmakers attending the conference were well fed and hydrated."
As CMD and Common Cause reported, ALEC also operates several scholarship funds
for legislators willing to carry their bills in capitals around the country. These funds
are used to allow corporations to give thousands of dollars in gifts to legislators
while avoiding the disclosure that might expose the conflicts of interests inherent
in such a scheme. Scholarships are rarely disclosed to the public, and have been
banned in at least three states.
Corporations have recently come under scrutiny because of their relationship with
ALEC and more than 100 have cut ties all together. However, as Barb Shelly of the
Kansas City Star notes, ALEC remains a driving force for regressive proposals in the
Missouri General Assembly.
Legislatures in Kansas,Missouriand elsewhere are preoccupied with
matters that have nothing to do with the welfare of communities or
citizens. Think right to work bills, measures to privatize public
education and proposals to weaken environmental protections.These and
others are the priorities of the American Legislative Exchange Council and
other groups that exist to advance corporate agendas.
Theres been no outcry from businesses begging the legislatures to
clip the wings of unions. No, the pressure comes from outside
groups. Republican legislators are willing to poison relationships and
demean their states teachers, public safety workers and others in

order to please their out-of-state bosses. These include the National
Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation and National Tax Limitation
Committee, both of which sent operatives to Jefferson City this
session to fire up Republican lawmakers. Some of the language in the
anti-union bills in Missouri and Kansas is strikingly similar to model
bills drafted by ALEC.

Why is ALEC's Influence in Jefferson City Important?

ALEC provides legislators with a means to appear highly active in the legislative
process while outsourcing by transferring their role in drafting legislation to
corporate special interests "It is funded and dominated by free-market and corporate
interests," writes the Kansas City Star, "who work with like-minded legislators to push
various agendas." And what are these various corporate agendas? Here is a taste:
TAKING AWAY WORKERS' RIGHTS WHILE SHIELDING CORPORATIONS FROM
ACCOUNTABILITY
ALEC works fervently to promote laws that would shield corporations
from legal accountability to Missouri citizens and limit the rights of
workers in the state. The group's model legislation would roll back laws
regarding corporate liability for harming state residents, workers'
compensation and on-the-job protections, collective bargaining and
organizing rights, prevailing wage and minimum wage laws. ALEC is a
main proponent of bills that undermine organized labor by stripping
public employees of collective bargaining rights and that weaken the
power of workers in the private sector through so-called "right to work"
laws. They also push "regulatory flexibility" laws that lead to massive
deregulation of rules designed to protect the health of Missouri families.
TAKING AWAY VOTERS' FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS
ALEC isdirectly tiedto thetrend among state legislaturesto limit the
ability of American citizens to vote through restrictive "voter ID" laws.
Using demonstrablyfalse allegationsof "voter fraud," right-wing
politicians are pursuing policies that disenfranchise students and other
at-risk voters--including the elderly and the poor--who are unlikely to
have drivers' licenses with their current residence and who previously
could vote showing proof of residence and other identification. By
suppressing the vote of such groups of likely Democratic voters, ALEC's

model "Voter ID Act" grants an electoral advantage to Republicans while
undermining the fundamental right to vote in America. In addition, ALEC
wants to make it easier for corporations to participate in the political
process. The Public Safety and Elections Task Force included Sean Parnell
of the Center for Competitive Politics, one of themost vociferous procorporate involvement in elections groups in the nation, and promoted
legislation that would devastate campaign reform and increase
corporate influence in elections.
PRIVATIZING PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Despite constitutional problems, negative impacts on public schools, bias
against disadvantaged students, and comprehensive studies that
demonstrate that private school voucher programs failed to make any
substantial improvements to education, ALEC pushes vouchers as a way
to privatize public education and transfer Missouri tax dollars from
public institutions to private profits. Under theguise of "school choice,"
ALEC pushes bills with titles like "Parental Choice Scholarship Act" and
the "Education Enterprise Act" that establish or expand private school
voucher programs.
PROTECTING POLLUTERS
At the bidding of its major donors like Peabody Energy, Exxon Mobil
and Koch Industries,ALEC is a powerful force behind state-level
legislationthat would hinder the ability of the people to curb
polluters through governmental power. ALEC has previouslysaidthat
carbon dioxide "isbeneficial to plant and human life alike," andit
promotes climate change denialism. The group's model legislation assails
EPA emissions guidelines and greenhouse gas regulations, destabilizes
regional climate initiatives, permits free-reign for energy corporations,
and pushes for massive deregulation of some of the biggest polluters on
the planet.
UNDERMINING PUBLIC SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURES
As states face challenging budget deficits, ALEC wants to make it
more difficult to generate revenue in order to close shortfalls. Such
bills include the "Super Majority Act," which makes it so complicated for
legislatures to change tax policy that California voters overturnedthe

law; the "Taxpayer Bill of Rights," whichbrought fiscal disasterto
Colorado; and measures to eliminate capital gains and progressive
income taxes. The main beneficiaries of ALEC's irresponsible fiscal
policies are corporations and the wealthiest taxpayers.

Missouri Legislators with ALEC Ties

Identifying the list of Missouri legislators who are part of ALEC is a difficult task,
because ALEC operates largely in secret. Even though it claims to be a legislative
membership organization, there is no full list of legislators that are members of ALEC
on their website.
However, we do have a few sources open to us: the Missouri Ethics Commission,
Sunshine Law requests with Capitol offices, and the Center for Media and Democracy.
Progress Missouri has identified nearly 40 current Missouri legislators, and almost 90
total all-time as ALEC members and supporters through state Sunshine Law requests
and reviews of Missouri Ethics Commission data. The community of researchers
supporting the Center for Media and Democracy's ALECExposed.com website have also
identified Missouri politicians as ALEC members and supporters.

Missouri Corporations with ALEC Ties

PEABODY ENERGY
Peabody Energy is the worlds largest private sector coal company, and is listed on
ALECs corporate board. This massive producer of coal is a member of ALECs Energy,
Environment, and Agriculture Task force. The largest coal corporation on Earth has
met with Exxon Mobile, and Dow Chemical to hold an extraordinary influence on
Missouris environmental policies, including attacks on renewable energy.
ANHEUSER-BUSCH INBEV
Anheuser-Busch was a member of ALECs Commerce, Insurance, and Economic
Development Task Force, and has continued to participate in ALEC even after being
purchased by InBev. ALECs CIED Task Force has been responsible for anti-worker
initiatives like the Paycheck Protection scheme, and the ALEC model Right to Work
act.
SHOOK, HARDY & BACON LLP
As of April, 2013, Victor Schwartz of Shook, Hardy & Bacon is listed as the Private
Chair of the Civil Justice Task Force, and documents show he, and other employees of
the firm have attended ALEC meetings, testified on behalf of ALEC in favor of bills,
and lobbied in North Dakota (ALEC maintains that it does not lobby). Shook Hardy &
Bacon has spearheaded ALECs tort-reform efforts for years, often bills that seem to
benefit the firms clients.
CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS
Charter Communications is the fourth largest communications company in the country,
selling telephone, cable television, and Internet services. Charter is a member of
ALECs Communications and Technology task force. The Task Force has been
responsible for, among other things, protecting corporate Internet profits, and phone
service profits.
Missouri Taxpayer Funds Spent on ALEC

Memberships & Junkets
There is a strange irony in spending taxpayer dollars to attend a group that is
supposedly dedicated to limited government to learn how to slash the public
systems and structures upon which average citizens rely. Yet ALEC politicians in
Missouri put the state on the hook for thousands of dollars for travel and memberships
with this corporate group. In an era of cuts to education and public services, Progress
Missouri found the following taxpayer-financed expenses to ALEC:

Partisan Campaign Funds Spent on ALEC

Memberships & Travel
Campaign funds are frequently used for politicians to attend ALECs secret meetings of
lobbyists and corporate donors. ALEC claims to be non-partisan and claims to conduct zero
lobbying, yet even member politicians seem to be confused on the nebulous purpose of ALEC.

ALEC Scholarships
The Center for Media and Democracy: "The American Legislative Exchange Council
(ALEC) has raised and spent an estimated $4 million in funds from its corporate
backers since 2006 to pay for state lawmakers trips to meet with corporate CEOs and
lobbyists at ALEC sponsored events at posh retreats, according to internal ALEC
documents and other investigative work
"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 to pay for lawmakers trips. Records show that ALEC
legislators know whos paying their waysome state leaders even urge lawmakers
to send thank-you notes to their patrons
but everyone else is kept in the dark. ALEC claims to the IRS that it does not have to
report the money spent on elected officials because it is just holding the funds 'in
trust' for lawmakers. But at the same time, it promises corporate donors that they can
get a tax write-off for their donations."
Below is a list of legislators between 2009 and 2015 who have reported their ALEC
scholarships to the Missouri Ethics Commission on their Personal Finance Disclosures:

Untraceable ALEC-RELATED LOBBYIST

GIFTS
Some Missouri lobbyists abuse the ability to declare the recipients of their gifts as
entire groups of officials, thereby limiting the publics ability to know which
legislators are wined and dined on ALEC-related trips. Even when the recipients of the
gifts are clearly a small group of legislators, gifts have been reported as going to
Entire General Assembly, MO House, MO Senate, All Statewide Elected Officials & All
Legislators, or Caucuses. For example, EMBARQ lobbyist Charles Simino told the
Missouri Ethics Commission that he gave $1,000 in Chicago Cubs tickets a 2008 ALEC
event to the Entire General Assembly.

Head-to-Head Comparisons of
ALEC Models and Missouri Legislation
So-Called 'Right to Work' Bills
For decades, Republican politicians and powerful corporate interests have pushed socalled right to work bills that are all about politics -- not economics. ALEC corporate
interests and their allied politicians design this legislation to harm their political
opponents by eliminating public employee unions seen as supporting elected officials
that look out for workers' interests.
The Right to Work experiment has lowered wages and made workplaces less safe,
since workers no longer have a say at the bargaining table. While out of state
corporate lobbyist line their pockets, hard work Americans lose access to liveable
wages and good health care.

Talking Points Memo summary: Heading into the 2014 legislative session, the
American Legislative Exchange Council is pushing new model legislation that aims to
undermine the federal health care reform law. The only problem is: It's probably
illegal. Here's what the bill says: If an insurance company accepts tax subsidies that
trigger Obamacare's employer mandate -- in other words, if an employee at a
company with more than 50 employees goes onto an Obamacare exchange to purchase
insurance and gets financial help through the law -- then that insurer would be
prohibited from continuing to do business in that state. The effect is that if an
insurer is doing business with the Obamacare exchange, it's putting itself at risk of
being banned from operating in a state with this law in place. That would either
force insurers to pull out of the exchanges or to decline to accept subsidies, which
would unravel the foundation of the exchanges -- or actually take their business
out of the state.

Education Savings Account Act

Center for Media and Democracy summary: This "model" legislation helps create
financial incentives for people to take their children out of the public school system
and support "private" for-profit, religious or other primary and secondary schools. As
noted in the bill's own description, as of 2008, no state had a statute like this that
reduced or offset the taxes of parents who make up to $190,000 a year, for taking
their minor children out of the public school system.

Declaration Of Support Of Keystone Xl Pipeline

In 2013, Representative Caleb Rowden and Senator David Pearce introduced ALEC
resolutions supporting the Keystone XL pipeline project as their own. Rowdens
support for the ALEC agenda is especially notable as he introduced the resolution
below just one month after taking office as a State Representative The ALEC model
even seems to be copied directly from TransCanadas talking points. This seems to be
literally putting the talking points of a multi-national oil company into a bill.

Opposing Common Core State Standards

Common Core Standards have been adopted in more than 40 states, including
Missouri. Despite being approved by administrations and legislatures of both parties
throughout the country, ALEC supported a resolution opposing the standards. In ALEC,
the far right Arizona think tank funded by the Koch Brothers, the Goldwater Institute
sponsored this resolution. The Common Core standards seek to raise state academic
standards, subject to state approval, without imposing a national curriculum.

Wireless Communication Towers

The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) Model Wireless Communications
Tower Siting Act sets guidelines and limits for municipalities on the regulation of new

to enforce the same local zoning and construction laws on cell tower siting that apply
to other development, but attempts to legislate against discriminatory treatment of
wireless service providers.

"Parent Trigger" Act

According to the Associated Press, the bill "would enable parents, if a majority
agreed, to convert a public school to a charter or get vouchers to send their children
elsewhere if they're unhappy with their current school Dave Wright, president of the
Missouri School Boards' Association, called the bill's three options 'simple and
unproven' and inadequate for solving schools' complex problems. He also said parents
of a single school shouldn't be given direct power over it because their decisions
affect local property owners who pay taxes to the school district."
This legislation would allow a single vote to undermine the opportunity for a
generation or more of children to attend public schools, while redirecting tax dollars
from public schools to private institutions including for-profit school companies, even
potentially "online" school companies that would receive a huge portion of per pupil
fees without the expense of providing buildings, desks, sports, and the other social
education of schools. ALEC's education task force includes numerous for-profit
education corporations like K12 Inc., Insight Schools, and Bridgepoint Education.

Private Attorney Retention Act

Rep. Stanley Cox (R-Sedalia) has publicly acknowledged that 'his' legislation was
modeled on an ALEC proposal, spurred by concern about fees paid to private lawyers
as part of the national settlement with tobacco companies. (Missouri Lawyers Media,
03/20/11, and Summary of HB 255, 2011)
For decades, ALEC has been funded in part by tobacco companies and their lawyers.

Voter Registration Obstacles

"House Bill 2109 is horrendous for a variety of reasons," wrote the St. Louis PostDispatch on April 11, 2012. "Examining its origins, its sloppy construction and its
potentially devastating results sheds light on how far modern conservative ideals have
drifted from what Mr. Reagan had espoused for the Republican Party." This bill makes
it more difficult for American citizens residing in Missouri to register to vote using IDs
and proof of residency that have traditionally been accepted for decades in the state.
The bill was a product of ALECs notorious Public Safety and Elections Task Force,
which also promoted the controversial Voter ID legislation, which swept into states in
2010 and 2011. After increasing public pressure, ALEC claimed to have disbanded this
task force in April 2012, yet its bills and laws live on.

"Castle Doctrine" or "Shoot First" Law

This bill is based on an NRA-conceived bill that first passed in Florida in 2005 and then
was adopted as an ALEC model at a closed-door meeting later that year with ALEC
Criminal Justice Task Force co-chair Wal-Mart (the largest seller of long guns and
ammunition) at the helm. Key provisions of this bill have been supported by ALEC
legislators in 34 states, by the NRA's count, and have resulted in an increase in people
shot, including unarmed citizens killed, by people asserting that they are immune
from prosecution as a result of these changes made by this law. The "Castle Doctrine"
is a deceptive misnomer because Missourians and Americans from every other state
already had a long-standing right of self-defense in their homes (their "castles") but
this law expands the circumstances in which a person can shoot to kill another person
and get immunity from prosecution and civil damages for the death of another.
NOTE: ALEC claims that the organization no longer promotes or supports these
laws.

Anti-Affordable Care Act Amendment

ALEC claims on its website that "Missouri...passed the ALEC model as a statute."
From ALEC.org: "In December 2008, ALEC adopted as model legislation the Freedom of
Choice in Health Care Act, which helps states block a government requirement to
purchase health insurance. Now 42 states have either introduced or announced that
they will introduce ALEC's Freedom of Choice in Health Care Act. Six states (Virginia,
Idaho, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, and Missouri) passed the ALEC model as a statute,
and two states (Arizona and Oklahoma) passed the model as a constitutional
amendment. An active citizen initiative is also underway in Mississippi." Missouri has
long had a requirement that drivers purchase automotive insurance, and the federal
bill was based on efforts to ensure that all Americans were included in the pool of
people with health insurance and access to health care.
The United States Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act, including the
individual mandate.

Health Care Choice Act for States

ALECs Health Care Choice For States Act is a bill to allow health insurance to be sold
across state lines. This idea would abdicate Missouris control over its health care to
other states, like Mississippi and Alabama. A policy like this would create a race to
the bottom, allowing health insurance corporations to circumvent Missouris policies
by setting up policies in other states, and selling insurance to Missourians below
Missouris standards.

Resolution Asking Congress to Privatize Social

Security
This legislation by then-Senator Peter Kinder "urges Congress to amend the Social
Security Act and other statutes to allow Missouri citizens to voluntarily opt-out of the
federal Social Security System and invest their Social Security taxes in personal
retirement accounts."
The effort to privatize social security has been funded since the mid-1970s by the
Koch family and other billionaires. Workers have a variety of options for personal
retirement accounts that risk being gambled and lost on Wall Street, in addition to
the guaranteed income provided by Social Security to older and disabled Americans.
Most Americans do not realize that the future solvency of the Social Security fund
could be secured by taxing all income earned rather than the current loophole for
people who earn more than $105,000 a year or who earn all their income from capital
gains. Taking more funds out of the social security pool for private investment in Wall
Street would weaken the fund and increase the risk to workers of having no pension
income or social safety net as they age or if they become disabled.

Private Property Protection Act

This bill would make it more difficult for states and cities to regulate polluting
industries, factory farms, or other activities by embracing a re-interpretation of the
Fifth Amendment to allow a property owner to claim a "regulatory" taking of property

for the people's representatives to protect the health and safety of Missouri families
from businesses that attempt to use their property in ways that expose others to harm
or nuisances.

Successor Asbestos-Related Liability Fairness

Act
This bill exists to benefit one corporation, and one corporation only: Crown Cork
Holdings, f.k.a. Crown Cork and Seal. Traditionally, assets and liabilities must be
transferred together in a sale of a company. This bill would alter that traditional rule
to the detriment of Americans harmed by the sale of products that contributed to the
assets being transferred, thus thwarting responsibilities for injuries and harm. This
bill benefits Crown by reducing its liability to asbestos damage related lawsuits, by
making it harder for cancer victims to sue Crown.
The bill has been advanced in ALEC by representatives of Missouri based Shook, Hardy,
and Bacon LLP. The law firm is the current head of ALECs Civil Justice Task Force,
and has advised Crown Cork and lobbied for the bill. Thanks to ALEC, this bill has
passed in at least 15 states.
It should also be noted that Crown Cork was a large donor to the ALEC scholarship
fund around the time this bill passed, and Rep. Yates, the bills primary sponsor
received funds from the ALEC scholarship fund.

"The Great Schools Tax Credit Program Act

ALECs Great Schools Tax Credit Program Act combines two of ALECs primary
objectives, cutting public schools to give to private schools, and giving corporations
tax breaks; and it is the worst of both worlds. The act is set up to give corporations a
tax credit for any donations they make to an organization granting scholarships to
students. This end-around voucher system uses tax credits rather than direct
payments, but is nonetheless state support for private education; and the ALEC model
acknowledges a significant fiscal impact to the legislation, depleting resources that
could go to public schools. The ALEC model also acknowledges that the credit may
have little impact on education at all, stating Drafted this way, the tax credit will
necessarily reward many families who are already financing their child's education.
Not only will it reward individuals for actions already taken, the bill would reward
corporations for actions already taken, lowering their tax burden for no improvement
in education at all. The bill seeks to create incentives to advance private education
at the expense of public education, but may well simply be a tax giveaway.

"The Autism Scholarship Program Act

The corporate leadership of ALECs Education Task Force has included for-profit school
companies like K-12 Inc., Bridgepoint Education, and Connections Academy. Bills that
deplete public school funds in order to subsidize private schools provide direct benefit
to those corporations. Recognizing that not ever state would be able to pass a large
voucher system, ALEC has presented an array of bills to advance small school voucher
programs. Some of these bills use a foot-in-the-door technique, appealing to the
heartstrings in order to advance an agenda to privatize education.

Health Care Compact

ALEC recently adopted the Health Care Compact as a model bill, and Missouri passed
a bill to join the Health Care Compact in 2011. Governor Nixon let the bill go into law
without his signature. The bill seeks to abolish federal healthcare programs, not only
the Affordable Care Act, but Medicaid and Medicare as well. The bills objective is to
abolish federal control, yet continue to have the federal government tax the same,
and provide the funding in a block grant to the states; as unlikely a prospect as that
would be.
In 2013, Missouri saw two bills introduced, almost identical to the Health Care
Compact dealing with Education and Energy. The education compact would likely
abolish federal education programs like Head Start, and school nutrition programs,
and in theory give states a blank check. The energy compact seeks to restrict federal
enforcement of the Clean Air Act, and might end federal energy assistance and
federal energy efficiency programs. Because of the cookie-cutter nature of these
education and energy bills, it is extremely difficult to assess what their impact might
be. For a bill seeking to end federal involvement with entire sectors of government,
the nature of essentially cutting health care and inserting education creates such
badly drafted legislation with incredibly far reaching yet entirely nebulous effects.
