The ISS beat
The hookah industry won a huge victory yesterday as the ISS supported exemptions from the clean air act. The exemptions, pushed by Senator's Hassen Al-Shawaf, Laura Engle, and Joseph Vartan Danavi, gave the hookah industry leverage with the Champaign City Council. While the Illinois Student Senate recognized the need for clean restaurant and bar environments, it also recognized the needs of the blossoming CU hookah bar industry.
The move came one week after the same coalition blocked moves of Co-President Rohrscheib to appropriate Union funds on Illinois Student Senate light-up bounce balls. The coalition attacked Rohrscheib's ultra-left wing tax and spend programs.
Rohrscheib later commented, "but I want my bouncy balls."
The coalition, dubbed the "dynamic trio," called the no vote as "a win for the students."
Rohrscheib has come under political pressure in recent weeks for pushing his leftist authoritarian agenda. A recent report, published by members of ISS's shadow cabinet, called the environment surrounding Rohrschieb's constitutional amendment package as "highly suspicious."
Rohrschieb has hinted at resignation although most ISS members do not take him seriously. "He says he wants to resign every other week," Senator Danavi said.

I've actually seen Josh write out a letter of resignation. I, when being asked to sign as a witness to his resignation, refused to accept it as a legally binding contract. I would much rather impeach him.
Josh did the same thing in front of me and asked me to be the vitness but then threw the paper...I wonder who he has to hand the resignaion in to actually resign,..I think it might be me...
imagine a senate without the horrendous dictator....I know, I know its too good to be true.
Reality is not going to stop me from dreaming.
I thought u were trying to stop josh from resigning because ryan will be prez if he does...
Josh is ok, on the whole.
I hereby accept Joe Danavi's resignation from Illinois Student Senate.
In all honestly, I was seriously considering taking an indefinite leave from ISS because I was feeling burnt out. I care too much about the work we're doing to just sit back and do nothing to help. I am going to make a bigger effort to micromanage less and just provide general directions and help just when the committee chairs ask for help.
Danavi's resignation should help a lot too ;-)
