Remember the time when you wanted Subway, but you didn't have any cash on you, so you starved? I do. Thankfully, Kevin Reilly changed that with "tangible results," and now Gators can use their credit and debit cards on campus. And didn't you give Student Government a LAUREL for their "tangible results" when it installed more blue lights on campus? Do you know who the chairwoman of that committee was? Kellie Dale. While her friends were out having fun, she was doing walk-throughs on campus with the University Police Department.
The Alligator's coverage of SG is always the same - unreasonable and unwarranted. When new SG officials take office (every semester), you immediately report their lack of capability. Go through your archives before you print your articles - you'll be hard-pressed to find someone who gets a third-floor office without working for tangible results.
SG-ers are not dirty politicians. They're the people sitting next you in class. While you have to study for exams and write your papers, they're responsible for a multimillion dollar Activity & Service Fee budget. When the Alligator unfairly bashes SG (because it's exceedingly liberal and thinks politics are inherently bad) it's no wonder only a very small minority of students willingly withstand its abuse. Stop bashing SG and misrepresenting the great people who are trying to do great things. Not every SG official has been the same caliber as Kevin Reilly and Kellie Dale, but I can assure you that their time in office won't disappoint you.
