    2012 update: Medialink Worldwide Incorporated was bought for $0.20 per share by The NewsMarket in 2009. They avoided a hostile takeover at $5.00 per share a few years earlier by taking a poison pill.

    You can bet that the former CEO, CFO, and COO are all doing well. If only there were more than two brain cells between the three of them.

    I believed it was a good impartial, apolitical website but I realize three professional generous partnership content articles in the entry web page remembering the actual remember with Wisconsin gov.

    Much of this is way too easy to fix, but the GOP will never allow it to happen. ALL "reimbursements" to elected officials should go THROUGH a public office in each state (or the federal level for federal elected officials). The elected officials are employees of the state, NOT of ALEC. Like any other employee of any private company, the employee should not be taking money directly from other organizations. In the private sector, the "reimbursements" are paid to the employer and the employer reimburses the employee. There is no reason this should be any different for elected officials. After all, the GOP wants government to be run more like private businesses. This is one clear case where they can make that happen.

    The National Council of State Legislators is the liberal organization for legislators, sponsored by tax dollars AND large corporate donations. They have the same purpose as ALEC which is to put together model legislation with THEIR bias! Why aren't they exposed? Both of these organizations have a bias - so what? In both cases the corporations "buy" their input into legislation if that is the way you want to look at it. To legislators their insight is valuable, and they know the motives of the corporations are transparent. Legislation is improved by having all sides of an issue point out possible unitended consequences. My votes were MY votes for MY district, and never were swayed because a corporation was supporting ALEC. I knew most of them were supporting the Dems NCSL as well.

    It's surprising the (R)-WI legislature has not already shredded the lobbying oversight that currently exists. Perhaps I should not say that out loud. Don't want to give them any ideas for the remaining 2 or 3 months of power they have.
