From My Flashpoint: PACT lawsuits on the horizon?
Old Prosecutor, a self described “old lawyer,” foresees lawsuits on the horizon over Alabama’s PACT program.
Some of them will be for fraud and seek punitive damages. I also foresee some enterprising lawyers naming the Directors as defendants and seeking to hold them personally liable. Now some of those same politicians are talking about the moral obligation of the State and the need for the State (i.e. taxpayers) to guarantee the payments.
So what happens when a government official has the state cover PACT losses when the state has no obligation to do so in order to prevent or offset possible suits holding them personally liable? Smells like tax dollars being used not just to fulfill a “moral obligation,” but also to save some politician hides.
