6. Make your own flight arrangements.

7. You need to SAVE and SUBMIT copies of all receipts and turn them into my assistant, Patty Wisner, AFTER the trip. Reimbursement usually takes 2-3 weeks to process AFTER the trip and AFTER you turn in the reimbursement form and receipts. I have attached the reimbursement form.

8. CONTACT my assistant, Patty Wisner, at 602-926-5413 or Email address removed
to let her know IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND. I need an idea of how many legislators will be attending in order to make sure we have enough scholarship funds.

Sincerely,

Debbie Lesko

Who Pays For These 'Scholarships'? Who Writes Our Laws?

I don't have a full list. The corporate membership list of ALEC is secret, but the Board Members hail from:

  • UPS
  • Intuit, Inc
  • Koch Brothers
  • Coca-Cola
  • Altria Client Services
  • Exxon Mobil
  • Salt River Project
