Referendum question asks about elimination of state treasurer post
One referendum question voters in the April 3 election might be surprised to see is regarding the “elimination of state treasurer.”
According to a Feb. 28 public notice in the Courier Press, the question, on all ballots Wisconsin wide, asks if sections of the constitution should be amended and created to “eliminate the office of state treasurer from the constitution and to replace the state treasurer with the lieutenant governor as a member of the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands?”
This referendum is a result of 2017 Enrolled Joint Resolution 7, a copy of which can be viewed or downloaded from the Wisconsin Elections Commission website at http://elections.wi.gov/elections-voting/2018/spring.
