SGA may boycott anti-bond businesses

November 9, 2004 on 9:47 pm | In Opinion |

The Hattiesburg American reported that the Student Goverment Association may target local businesses who were against the USM bond issue by boycotting them. This seems laughable at best, that they think that their voice holds any weight with the students of USM. That someone would deny themselves a sandwich because one hattiesburg business owner didn’t vote their way on a bond issue that would mainly help USM athletics.

There were over 30,000 people at the USM game on Saturday, paying an average of around $15 per ticket. Where is that money going? Any business that couldn’t manage it’s own money, in order to precipitate growth, would be out of business. That’s what USM is, a poorly run business. They expect for daddy (the city) to help them when they can’t help themselves with the millions of dollars that they earn every year. Why support a bond issue that doesn’t support the economy in the long run by helping academics in Hattiesburg? USM is important to this city, but not so important that we should go down with it when a major university can’t take care of it’s own problems.
