Several Student Government officials will meet Thursday to discuss the effect of a proposed price increase for motorcycle and scooter decals on UF students.
Ryan Mezzell, chief justice of the Student Traffic Court and a student senator, announced the upcoming discussion at Tuesday night's Student Senate meeting.
He said the internal meeting is a chance for SG officials to understand the reasons behind the proposed price and discuss the best method to gather student input.
Former Gainesville Mayor and Alachua County Commissioner Paula Delaney also spoke at the meeting to discuss the impact local governments have on their communities.
"I guess politics never really leaves your blood once it's in," she said. "It's the highest honor in the world to serve as an elected official."
