ALERT: Public Hearing Scheduled on Deleting State Treasurer's Office!

The Senate Committee on Labor and Government Reform will hold a public hearing on Senate Joint Resolution 4 next Tuesday, September 15. SJR 4 deletes the state treasurer’s office from the state constitution and makes the lieutenant governor a member of the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands.

WEMTA has opposed past attempts to add the State Superintendent and the Lieutenant Governor to the BCPL because we believe it jeopardizes our founding fathers’ commitment to maintaining a constitutionally protected form of school library funding. The current BCPL Commissioners do not play a leading role in K-12 school funding or the state budget process—this makes them ideal custodians of the Common School Fund and helps protect the integrity of the fund.

Senate Labor and Government Reform, 10 am, Tue, Sep 15, 300-SE

Hearing on:

SJR-04 State Treasurer (Gudex, Richard (R)) Deleting from the constitution the office of state treasurer (first consideration).
