The North Olympic Legislative Alliance (NOLA) sounds like a local "homegrown" version of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).  ALEC sends hundreds of corporate-sponsored "suggested" bills to conservative state legislatures, and rightwing legislators duly pass these bills into law.  Sometimes they don't even bother to change the wording so as to at least pretend they thought of it themselves.  And there have even been occasions where a lawmaker has submitted the original ALEC letter as the proposed law, so that the ALEC letterhead appeared at the top of the bill they were voting on.

Voter suppression laws, legislative attempts to derail renewable energy development, support for private for-profit prisons -- these are just a few of the state laws that are sprouting like mushrooms all over the red states.  If you like ALEC, you'll love the North Olympic Legislative Alliance.
