O&B Leader Clarifies

"Any problems we have with Glenda are trumped by the
problems we have with Stan. Stan is a shady SOB. However, he will bend over backwards to help any student org so he does some good. Do you have any stories about Stan? I would love for there to be a complete audit of SG finance.

Also, we dont really have any problems with Sandy. Though we have only dealt with her around the campaign season as she has been on medical leave for several months."

More to come folks, but before I continue with Glenda-Gate, Renfroe-Watch, Impeach Drayton, or other fun features up my sleeve, I'm dying to read the Kerns/Capezza Clarification(s) on the notion that the GDI's scrutiny of Glenda would "derail" the movement. I'm curious, as others also seem to be, why two such highly respected GDI's would issue such ambiguous warnings, sans actually refuting the allegations or offering a rebuttal. "Stop or else" is not jargon taught at GDI 101 - anywhere..

Former Senator On Glenda Frederick

"She asked Eric [Wolf] several times if he was ready to turn in his party registration to unaffiliate with O&B both in the spring and over summer."

This seems to be outside of Glenda's role as Senate Secretary.

"Like the rest of the Gator Party, she has little respect for the
rules and procedures."

This seems speculative.

"EVERYTIME, every damn time we want to pass a law at senate, one of the first questions asked in judiciary (when the bill is first comes to judiciary) is , "Has Glenda seen this?" or "What was Glenda's opinion on this?""

This would be area where I would find Glenda's membership in Florida Blue Key to stand as a major conflict of interests and grounds for her immediate dismissal as Senate Secretary.

"All it takes to kill a bill in judiciary is "I talked to Glenda
and she didn't like this."

This may be nothing more than speculative, conjecture or it may pose a very serious question to Student Government and the Independent movement at UF.

TheRadikal.com would like to thank Fmr. Senator Joshua Niederriter, a true Independent and a courageous leader of the Student Body of the University of Florida.

The Honorary Tap

Florida Blue Key has worked hard to tap young leaders that will undoubtedly hold high office, everything from the the U.S. political circuit to lofty posts in the private sector. But why would FBK tap a secretary. Glenda isn't just any secretary, she's very good at what she does, and this blog will not question the virtual fact that Glenda is loved by numerous students and alums.

Still, the question stands: is Glenda playing favorites in Student Government? And if so, what remedy exists? When the top leader of the Independent community at UF publicly states that the SG Secretary is "destructive" this should be grounds for alarm across campus and certainly merits both our attention, as well as that of the UF Administration. I mean we're not talking some random nobody like Jimmy Carlssen, we're talking about the top Independent leader on campus, Sam Miorelli.

The Orange & Blue Party is really shaking up the status quo! From fighting for online voting, courageously bringing Articles of Impeachment against Student Body Treasurer Paul Drayton, to now (perhaps) taking on the all-to-often-ignored issue of Glenda Frederick and her direct role in the Student Senate.

Question to the readers from TheRadikal.com: "how exactly does Glenda's work in senate, differ from Kim Cruts work when she handled the PR for SG? Why are students expected to lead SG and balance the $13 million budget but it's [allegedly] apparent no student could match Glenda's minutes-taking ability.

I fear that the same System logic that keeps Glenda on year after year, is synonymous with the reasoning behind "intranet voting" and the legitimacy of the "Student Body Treasurers ruling by proxy."
