Now, this question is, didn't we try to get rid of the treasurer's office? A lot of people recall a vote, and if you do, you're not wrong. There actually was a referendum four years ago, 2018, to eliminate the treasurer's office and remove it from the state constitution. Now, that happened because the treasurer is actually in the state constitution. So as long as that provision is there, we have to have a state treasurer. (00:15–00:24)
