No way!
An error? In the Daily Cal? Impossible!
Oh.
With elections just days away, the campaign for The Green Initiative Fund referendum has vastly outspent any other referendum campaign this season. The ASUC Judicial Council nullified the existing spending limit on referendum campaigns. Um... no. The Judicial Council noted that there isn't one. That is, there was nothing to nullify.
However, junior Rachel Barge, another co-author of the referendum, requested an advisory opinion from the Judicial Council as to whether referenda could be considered as individual candidates in the campaign. I'm not as confident about the wrongness of this, but I was under the impression it was Jessica Wren who requested that opinion. (Update: Apparently, Rachel beat Jessica to the request)
Graduate student Josh Daniels and senior Joyce Liou, who are both proponents of the Student Union Complex Fee referendum, said they plan on spending a combination of approximately $250 in out-of-pocket expenses on their campaign.
Daniels said he was in contact with campus administrators to try and get reimbursement for their expenses. Um... Why? Why would you get reimbursed for that? Do you need to make the fact that you're the university's bitch any less subtle?
By the way, Greenies, if your concern is getting folks out to vote, there's a shitload of folks waving around signs who'll do that for you. Let's see some efficiency!
