Senate’s choice of Stringer questionable

I find it very ironic that the Senate would choose Dan Stringer to argue the case against Mefford in last night’s ASSU Constitutional Council hearing.

Wasn’t Stringer the same person who approved the BSU’s illegal funding of the Husbands / Schwartz campaign last spring?

Didn’t The Daily call Stringer out on his hypocrisy on the allegations he and the Senate were using when referring to “abuse of power?”

Didn’t The Daily call for him to step down from his post as the Senate’s chair of monetary appropriations because of his illegal involvement?

If so, the fact that he even mentions in yesterday’s article that Lee and Mefford were “engaging in deviant behavior” and arguing about “abuse of power” again shows that the Senate hasn’t learned its lessons and still has much more to do in the way of fixing itself before this spring’s elections.
