BP Ends Involvement With American Legislative Exchange Council

BP Plc has severed its ties with the American Legislative Exchange Council, a corporate-funded nonprofit group that promotes a pro-business, free-market agenda through state legislatures.
Other members of the council, such as EBay Inc., Microsoft Corp., and Google Inc. departed last year, with Google citing the group’s opposition to climate-change regulation. A spokesman for London-based BP said the company had determined it didn’t need ALEC, as the group is called, to advance its legislative priorities.
