The emailer had written the following to  Senator Brooks on May 4, I'm writing to plead for your help in getting the bill passed TOMORROW to help save PACT. We have one daughter who is a junior at Auburn and another daughter about to enter Alabama this fall.

Our PACT contract has been paid in full for several years and we just want what this State program promised. I'm begging you and all of the other legislators to work out a plan to save this program.

Thank you for your time"

Sen. Brooks responded as follows:

"I have your note and understand your very justified concerns.  I believe there is substantial support in Montgomery for a plan to make sure the tuition obligations are paid. In fact, I personally met with
the Governor yesterday about this and other issues. I expect that alternative ideas will be evaluated so that the right bill is passed.  If this requires a special session, I will support such a session. Please call if you would like to discuss details. My Mobile office number is
#251-344-7744."
