GOP trustee incumbents out; Dems take seats
Voters handed a victory to the Democrats on Tuesday and the MSU Board of Trustees followed this pattern, with Democrats George Perles and Faylene Owen taking seats away from GOP incumbents Dave Porteous and Dee Cook. Our favorite candidate, MSU social relations sophomore and Green Party member Lauren Spencer, came in a strong fifth with more than 100,000 votes, and even though she lost, she said she would still attend board meetings. But not everyone is as gracious as Spencer.
