This week’s edition of Looking Back at the Week features articles, commentaries, columns, toons and other work by San Diego Free Press regulars, irregulars, columnists, at-large contributors, and sourced writers on: ALEC, ALEC and some more ALEC, and then a bit more ALEC, and don’t let the door hit you on the way out ALEC, costly crappy roads, getting lost in SD, Junco’s art show, the mayor welcoming his ALEC buddies, 1915, giving Gitmo back, did I mention ALEC?, and lots of other grassroots news & progressive views.
If you didn’t notice, the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and their extreme right wing, anti-worker agenda were in town this past week so we kicked up the coverage a bit.
