GPSC elections results are in. You can read about outgoing president Bieda's statement and other exciting tidbits in the Daily Wildcat. Shain Bergan's reporting is sharp and accurate. He might be one of our new favorite journalists:
"It was not quite the drama voters have come to expect of student government - no one cried, unlike ASUA elections - but the Graduate and Professional Student Council elections last night yielded over 600 total votes, double the turnout of last year."

Arizona state lawmakers complain (and rightfully so) that they are being excluded from budget meetings and that a handfull of legislators is making the decisions for everyone. At the same time, no bills are being debated and passed, meaning that many of our elected officials are sitting around, waiting for something to do:
"A few people in leadership at the top are sitting in rooms, with the door closed, deciding the future of Arizona," said Rep David Schapira, D-Tempe. "The rest of us are just down here for show."
