Many times as researchers we have a hard time finding the information that we want.
That's because the people / things we are researching tend to be a little more creative than we imagine.
If you look at Mary Kiffmeyer (R-MN)
1101 Vermont Avenue NW

Also, in 2010 Mary Kiffmeyer received $5,338.35 Public Subsidy - State of Minnesota - Campaign Finance Board
Which means as a taxpayer - I subsidized her to attend that DAMN ALEC meeting.
If there's nothing wrong with belonging to ALEC...

Why does ALEC hide their membership lists and

why do ALEC members hide money spent on ALEC?
Guess that's a lesson to me that I need to be more creative
If you don’t know what ALEC is you should –
because they are a threat to our democracy.
