UPDATE: THE OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION WE JUST GOT ON THE OUTCOME OF THIS HEARING
A coalition of college Progressives could take over Student Government at one of Florida’s major state universities, depending on the outcome of an FSU SGA Elections Commission meeting that was scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. Monday.
We’re monitoring Twitter for live updates, published by Tallahassee-based tweeter we noticed sharing info on the meeting:
The meeting is over alleged violations against FSU’s majority Ignite Party. The FSU SGA president-elect, Rueben Stokes, is a member of the majority Ignite Party, which enjoys the support of many in the Greek Community. KnightNews.com is working our contacts to get an update on the meeting, and will post it when we do.
The situation, according to a release from the Progress Coalition, stems from allegations that Ignite did not file financial disclosures related to campaign finances. UCF, on the other hand, doesn’t have any rules requiring candidates account for who donates to their campaign. So, this situation is an interesting case for UCF SGA to observe, as it could be a glimpse into the one of the outcomes of requiring candidates to account for who is donating to their campaign.
Meanwhile, the majority party leader, Rueben Stokes, broke his silence on the issue over Facebook, just hours before the meeting. Stokes published a letter to his fellow party members.
KnightNews.com has obtained the letter, and pasted it below. Click for it to be enlarged, and check back for updates on the breaking situation in the state’s capital.
