“[ … ] I will finish what I started because I believe in what I did”: Blair Shumlich
“I have absolutely no intention of resigning,” Shumlich told campus newspaper The Sheaf. “I was elected for a 12 month term and I will finish what I started because I believe in what I did.”
As petty as this conflict seems to be, I do find it commendable that, instead of creating busy work to fill up his time and wasting student dollars, Shumlich openly admitted that his job does not generate enough work to require a full time position, which holds an annual salary of $30 000.
“There are better ways to spend the money on students’ lives,” Shumlich told the Star Phoenix.
One thing I never thought I’d see: a student politician admitting that they didn’t do enough work for the students they purport to represent.
