MADISON, Wis. (AP) — If a majority of voters approve, the office of Wisconsin state treasurer would be eliminated under a constitutional amendment on Tuesday’s ballot. The office has been around since before Wisconsin was a state. But its duties have shrunk in recent years, leading to the push to do away with the office altogether. Proponents say voting to approve the amendment is worth it to save taxpayers the $70,000 salary for the position and the $227,000 biannual cost of running the office.
