I'll say that, personally, I believe this is a sound bill and want to
see it passed. It gives the treasurer the power to get something done
that should get done anyway, assuming we want money which would
otherwise truly go unspent to go to student groups (which I think is a
fairly easy statement to agree with).
I think I stated much of my opinion at Senate already. If you have any
more questions for me about why I support this bill, from someone who
had nothing to do with its authoring, let me know.
Thanks,
- Catherine, Senator from Random Hall and Senate Rep to Finboard
