A controversial national legislative group may not have the same pull in Kentucky as it does in other states.
For weeks, the American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC, has been under fire for its work pushing model state laws. The group has been linked to "stand your ground" gun laws, which have been in the news since the shooting death of a Florida teenager in February.
Many of ALEC's corporate members, including Kentucky-based Yum Brands, have ended their association with the group.
