My conversation with a Student Action flunkie
One of Bev "get mo" Elithorp's slaves chatted with me a bit about her plan for a BART pass. You know, like a class pass, except far more unattainable. So obviously it would never happen. Ever. The ASUC lacks the power to make deals with regional transit systems. The response by the tool was pretty much "yuh huh!"
Will there be fee increases? NO! Instead, she'll eliminate some unnecessary programs and redirect those fees. Why can't she redirect that money to fee reductions? "That would never happen." Well, yeah. That's why you need to join the Senate to make it happen. Why can't it be redirected to student groups? "There's a cap on student group funding." The "cap" referred to here was, I believe, the budget. Apparently, changing the budget is beyond the power of mere Senators.
Then she ran off, because, according to her, if she didn't talk to 25 people, Elithorp's superiors would kill her. Yes, she said that. "Controlling campaign staff through threats of murder... DONE!"
