Kay Ivey was in Huntsville yesterday, and the Huntsville Times reports she had this to say about Alabama's troubled Prepaid Affordable College Tuition (PACT) Program:
Ivey told the breakfast audience at Trinity United Methodist Church that she has "been hunkered down" with the board and financial risk experts to find solutions to shore up the program for the short term.
"That is my mission," said Ivey, who is a board member and whose office oversees the Prepaid Affordable College Tuition Plan (PACT).
...
"We've got to find a way to continue to serve the children," Ivey said in a 20-minute speech. "Tending to business requires creative solutions."
Creative solutions are good, but I'm not liking the "hunkered down" with the Board part. The innovative solutions on the table ought to be discussed at the public Board meeting on Tuesday*, not pre-decided and just put up for a formal vote at that meeting.
