New Business

■          Senate Bill 07-S050: Student Action with Farmworkers.  Senator Ojeda passed the gavel to Senator Frei. Senator Ojeda explained the bill and explained that she will be doing an internship in the legal field. President Bloomsburg stated that he thought this was a lot of money. Brought up the ethics code. Stated that he had a problem with this much money being given to a Student Government member. VP Smith stated that he thought it wasn’t fair that Senator Ojeda wrote this bill for herself. Said he agreed with what Senator Ojeda is trying to do but he questions if every student has that opportunity, if they wanted this opportunity they would have to have a bill sponsored. Senator Astle stated that he thought the Student Senate account was lacking in funds to approve both bills that are on the table for funding today. Senator Ojeda stated that this was her first choice for funding and she hasn’t done any other fundraising yet, has until June to get the money. Stated that other Senators have written bills for themselves and she didn’t understand why it’s a big deal.  President Bloomsburg stated that he thought this would set a bad precedent. Senator Frei passed the gavel back to Senator Ojeda. Senator Frei stated that she thought this was a large amount of money and that it was unfair to ask the Senate for the full amount.
