			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Naturally, they aren't (as of 5/22) linked to anywhere on the Treasury or PACT Web sites.  But if you dig through Google with just the right keywords, you can find them.

2009:  [url]http://www.treasury.state.al.us/PACT/Documents/PACT%20BOARD%20MINUTES%202009.pdf[/url]

2008: [url]http://www.treasury.state.al.us/PACT/Documents/PACT%20BOARD%20MINUTES%202008.pdf[/url]

2007: [url]http://www.treasury.state.al.us/PACT/Documents/PACT%20BOARD%20MINUTES%202007.pdf[/url]

2006: [url]http://www.treasury.state.al.us/PACT/Documents/PACT%20BOARD%20MINUTES%202006.pdf[/url]

2005: [url]http://www.treasury.state.al.us/PACT/Documents/PACT%20BOARD%20MINUTES%202005.pdf[/url]

2004: [url]http://www.treasury.state.al.us/PACT/Documents/PACT%20BOARD%20MINUTES%202004.pdf[/url] 

I can't get the 2009 link to work, but the 2006 minutes are very revealing since they're a transcript of the meeting - not just a list of motions.

I also blogged about some of what I found at Left In Alabama:
