Voting records should be made public
A huge battle was won at Tuesday night's Senate meeting in the war of Student Government transparency. The Progress Party's leading example of having voting records made public was echoed by President Jordan Johnson and the Unite Party.
Unlike senators in Progress, some Unite senators may not waive their rights to make their voting records public. To be frank, if you are a senator who feels that your voting records shouldn't be public knowledge, then you should be ashamed of yourself. Your vote doesn't belong to you. It belongs to the students you represent. Don't hide behind the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act or make excuses because now is the time to make SG open to students. If you truly have the students' interests in mind, sign the waiver.
