Thank
you Lt. Gov. Folsom...
Save Alabama Pact would like to thank Lt.
Governor Jim Folsom for leading the effort to insure that all PACT families are
made aware of our organization. For over six months, we have been exploring
every avenue to make sure that all PACT families are informed. Today, at the
PACT board meeting Governor Folsom made sure our wishes became a
reality.
Long ago, we went to the Treasurer's office with our
modest requests and were informed that state law prohibited PACT from complying
with our requests. Lt. Governor Folsom then took the lead for our group
and requested an Attorney General's opinion to clarify the issue once and for
all.
Governor Folsom secured an Attorney General's opinion stating that it was the PACT Board's
discretion what to include in PACT mailings and on the program's website.
Governor Folsom presented the opinion to the PACT board and formally made the
appropriate motions to insure that Save Alabama PACT's contact information is listed on the PACT program's website
and in all future mailings to PACT participants.
This was a victory for our group in our effort to
better communicate with all PACT families. Governor Folsom has demonstrated his continued commitment to our cause
by once again taking action on our
behalf.
