I try not to get too involved in Student Government politics; it makes your head spin after awhile. But after reading Wednesday’s letters, I have to ask the question: Why are the current SG officials (i.e., the Unite Party via longtime Student Sen. Matt Michel and Unite operative Dana Summerstein) so threatened by the up-and-coming reformers?
By now it’s obvious Unite and its Progress Party sidekicks have gone full red alert at the possibility that someone might actually make things better in SG.
The status quo parties have tried to smear and attack the Independent Coalition, an underdog group of candidates with a lot more ideas and a lot less money than Unite, because the independents are for real change.
If you care about real issues like Bright Futures, saving student money and having a voice that will stand up to the administration and to UPD when necessary, I urge you to join me in supporting the independent candidates in this election.
