I have tremendous respect for Ms. Vu and I empathize with her current financial situation.

However, it frustrates me when students, who are PART of ASUC-funded groups, can advocate for inefficient and cost-inducing businesses on campus.

I respect and believe in Cal's culture as well, and hence I'm more than happy to concede that that all "Mom and Pop" should be given importance and maybe even priority on campus.

However, NOT when they are becoming a financial liability on the ASUC. And to be honest, this isn't just an ASUC matter. If the ASUC starts excusing more and more of their rent (as we have already been doing), the money comes from STUDENT FEES. Yep. That's YOUR money.

So let's keep the big picture in mind when evaluating Healthy Heavenly's place in Bear's Lair. They are violating health codes, breaking into Bear's Lair Pub to cook, and not paying rent.

Local business deserves priority and support. But irresponsible local business deserves standards and accountability.
