Bill to Eliminate Treasurer's Office Moves Forward
While it may seem like nothing good is happening in Frankfort, there are a few positives.
Possibly the best right now is that Sen. Damon Thayer's bill to eliminate the Constitutional Office of State Treasurer is moving forward.
SB 51 is also cosponsored by Sen. Mike Wilson.
As we have written before:
The office of the Treasurer has little responsibility outside of printing checks and sitting on a few boards. It serves no role in checks or balances on the system that would support an argument for it continuing to be an elected office, serves no function that is exclusive to the office, is an unnecessary use of taxpayer dollars and should be eliminated.
This legislation is an obvious KEY VOTE for the 2012 Scorecard, and we may also award cosponsorship of this legislation.
The bill has received its second reading and should be voted on the floor of the Senate soon. Contact your legislator and let them know you support this great legislation.
