Munich, Germany – when Didier Drogba completed the search for the title of Premier League Champions Saturday, it does so in a unique way as a true diva of world football.

Anelka scored the decisive penalty to beat Bayern Munich in the penalty shootout after earning Chelsea reprieve is possible with the 88th minute headed goal to level 1-1 in a match dominated by the Party of Germany made by calculating the benefit of home-stadium.

In August of last year, I went to the annual meeting of the American legislative Exchange Council in New Orleans. If you are not familiar with ALEC, who quickly went from being an organization that is clear for one article now that came out of that trip:

“The American Legislative Exchange Council, a nonprofit based in Washington, bringing together legislators of countries, companies, and advocacy groups to establish” model legislation “. The legislators then take this model back to their own countries. About 1,000 times a year, according to state legislators introduce ALEC, Bill from library models more than 800. About 200 times a year, one of them into law. The Council, in essence, create a national policy, State by State “.

At that time, I was trying to figure out how a model bill ALEC spread among the States. On the morning of 5 August, I sat down with Raegan Weber, who then ALEC’s the spokesman; John Stephenson, Director of ALEC’s telecommunications and information technology task force; and North Dakota State representative Blair Thoreson, Chairman of the legislative task force. I asked how to choose which state legislators ALEC model bills to push, given the Council a catalog model 800, and finally took place in in the loop for a while. Weber and Stephenson say several times that Bill model “library services”, and Stephenson said that legislators “do not need me to access legislation.” Finally, just before we finished, Weber broke in to make something clear. This is what I have from the recording of my interview.

“If you don’t mind me, if I can overcome this issue, you have touched on another great example. We have a clear cut more than 800 model legislation, and they all exist. John, I, I, the entire staff of ALEC, ALEC’s Board, even we don’t know who is reached in and grabbed it. It is a library service for members, should they choose to want to use it. … And they use it, and they didn’t even tell us, and they should not go on the floor and say that this is the law and ALEC, they must go through, you know, what, Bill into them, so we don’t know. “

But now it looks like ALEC did have ideas, did, reaching in and grabbing what, and knowing this in detail. On Monday, the common cause, the advocacy group for sunshine and government accountability, filed minutes from task force meeting for two years. The meeting was closed to the press and public.
