T-Mobile just made the wisest decision yet.
The telecommunications company T-Mobile has decided to leave the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), making it the latest in a long series of corporate giants to depart the conservative organization.
“T-Mobile is affiliated with many public policy organizations and we regularly evaluate these affiliations and associations based on our priorities,” the company said Wednesday in a statement provided to National Journal. “In line with this practice, in 2015 we decided not to renew our membership with ALEC.”
T-Mobile did not offer an explanation for why it decided to leave the ALEC. A number of organizations, in leaving, have griped about the organization’s position on climate change. Google CEO Eric Schmidt, for instance, said that ALEC is “literally lying” that there’s any question about climate change.
