Selon une nouvelle \u00e9tude de Common Cause, cinq l\u00e9gislateurs du Texas ont accept\u00e9 plus de 147 600 TP en \u00ab bourses \u00bb financ\u00e9es par des entreprises pour couvrir les frais de transport a\u00e9rien, de chambres d'h\u00f4tel et d'autres frais de d\u00e9placement pour assister aux r\u00e9unions de l'American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), un groupe de pression d'entreprise.
<\/span><\/p>

Sur une p\u00e9riode de cinq ans, les repr\u00e9sentants de l'\u00c9tat Tom Craddick (R), Linda Harper Brown (R), John Otto (R) et Phil King (R) ainsi que le s\u00e9nateur Larry Taylor (R) ont re\u00e7u des paiements de $250 \u00e0 $1 920, pour un total de $7 682, selon l'\u00e9tude. La plupart des d\u00e9penses ont \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9clar\u00e9es par King, qui a r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 avoir re\u00e7u $5 142,46 de l'ALEC l'ann\u00e9e derni\u00e8re.
<\/span><\/p>

Les \u00ab bourses \u00bb de l\u2019ALEC couvrent les frais de d\u00e9placement des l\u00e9gislateurs pour assister aux conf\u00e9rences ferm\u00e9es de l\u2019ALEC. Bien que les l\u00e9gislateurs r\u00e9v\u00e8lent que le financement provient de l\u2019ALEC, <\/span>un rapport<\/span><\/a> Une \u00e9tude r\u00e9alis\u00e9e par Common Cause, le Center for Media and Democracy et DBA Press indique que les v\u00e9ritables sources sont des entreprises et que les l\u00e9gislateurs impliqu\u00e9s savent quelles entreprises paient la facture.  <\/span>Les fonds secrets financ\u00e9s par les entreprises sont un autre moyen pour ALEC de dissimuler son influence dans les capitales des \u00c9tats du pays. Les contribuables paient \u00e9galement souvent la facture des d\u00eeners et des boissons offerts par les lobbyistes des entreprises \u00e0 ALEC \u00e0 leurs l\u00e9gislateurs, car les l\u00e9gislateurs du Texas sont souvent rembours\u00e9s par l'\u00c9tat pour assister aux conf\u00e9rences de l'ALEC.
<\/span><\/p>

Les entreprises qui ont financ\u00e9 les bourses ALEC au Texas sont Bayer HealthCare, Novartis, Eli Libby, la Texas Association of Dairyman et UST Public Affairs. Les autres soci\u00e9t\u00e9s et organisations \u00e0 but non lucratif membres de l'ALEC bas\u00e9es au Texas sont ExxonMobil, AT&T, ConocoPhillips, Shell Oil, BP North America et la Texas Public Policy Foundation.
<\/span><\/p>

La conf\u00e9rence annuelle de l'ALEC \u00e0 Dallas d\u00e9bute le 30 juillet. Parmi les personnalit\u00e9s politiques du Texas qui prendront la parole figurent le gouverneur Rick Perry, le pr\u00e9sident de la Chambre des repr\u00e9sentants Joe Straus et le procureur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Greg Abbott. Alors que les sessions de la conf\u00e9rence au cours desquelles les l\u00e9gislateurs \u00e9lus et les lobbyistes des entreprises unissent leurs forces pour r\u00e9diger des projets de loi \u00ab mod\u00e8les \u00bb pour l'ALEC sont ferm\u00e9es au public et \u00e0 la presse, des militants citoyens ont organis\u00e9 des panels d'information, des conf\u00e9rences, des rassemblements et des projections de films.<\/a>f Les \u00c9tats-Unis d'ALEC <\/em>dans la r\u00e9gion de Dallas.
<\/span><\/p>

ALEC est \u00e0 l'origine de centaines de lois d'\u00c9tat privatisant les \u00e9coles et les prisons publiques, affaiblissant les lois sur la qualit\u00e9 de l'air et de l'eau et portant atteinte aux droits des travailleurs. Common Cause a d\u00e9pos\u00e9 une plainte contre ALEC aupr\u00e8s de l'Internal Revenue Service, accusant le groupe d'avoir viol\u00e9 les conditions de son statut d'exon\u00e9ration fiscale. ALEC est enregistr\u00e9e aupr\u00e8s de l'IRS en tant qu'association caritative mais fonctionne comme un lobby pour ses membres corporatifs. <\/span><\/p>
