One of our emailers wrote the following very good letter to Sen. Tom Butler:

What is the status of PACT legislation? Who is preventing SB 581 from going through? What is your position on the state’s obligation toward PACT contract holders? It may be too late for this session but we still need your help.

State elected officials started this with promises, guarantees; they pushed and marketed PACT intensively to the citizens of Alabama. Many of us believed and bought-in.

Litigation will be expensive and bring much negative publicity to the state and elected officials but we will be heard.

I appreciate and thank you for anything and everything you have done to support PACT people. (see below)

Sen. Butler wrote the following response to our emailer:

SB581 will not pass this session. Thursday was last day for senate bills to pass to the house. The committee is still working on a funding source and the final agreement. Everyone I have talked to in the senate is supportive of the PACT contracts and the holders of those contracts. I firmly believe that a solution will be found. I am supportive of a solution for the PACT contract holders. I will urge the Governor to call a special to deal with PACT. Keep me posted too.

Best wishes,

Tom Butler
