Alabama AG Steve Marshall pulls out of National Attorneys General Association
Updated 7:23 AM;
Yellowhammer News reported the decision on Monday.
Mike Lewis, spokesman for Marshall, confirmed the decision to AL.com but had no further comment. According to Yellowhammer, Marshall pulled out of the organization because he said it has moved too far to the left in its policies.
“I can’t justify spending taxpayer dollars to fund an organization that seems to be going further and further left,” Marshall said. “With the money we will save, I can add a young lawyer to my consumer protection division and yield a far better return on the taxpayer’s investment.”
