Grant Sterling, a council member, plans to pro- pose two resolutions, which he said might have op- position for other council members, despite Rob Miller, the General Counsel refusing the motion because anything on the agenda must be post- ed and released for public viewing 48 hours in ad- vance.

Anita Shelton, another council member, agreed with Sterling. “I am no expert on the rules, but I see no reason to interpret them very rigidly.

I would like to clear up a point that was made in the staff editorial of March 19, 2014 (Responsibility is key factor in voting). Not voting in primaries that are in Charles- ton does not equate throwing away ‘a hard- fought right,’ it is simply that candidates on the ballot do not represent the views of all voters, and that students believe that because it is not their home district, they think their votes irrelevant. The reason why Illinois has been having bad leadership for a long time is simple - all candidates running in the gubernational race espouse Chicago politics, which complete- ly disregard the views of those downstate. Also, with religious voters, we are encour- aged to vote our conscience, and the over- whelming majority of the candidates do not fit that bill. Regardless of political party, the only goal of most politicians (except a very select few,) is serving their own interests. And writing in a candidate so ‘it’s not a wasted vote’ is completely false. No write- in or third party candidate has a snowball’s chance of winning.
