If Schuller and others are looking to eliminate the 12 million dollar Office of the State Treasurer, how has the current State Treasurer spent her time and money?
Though the state constitution only expresses that the treasurer be on the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands, which manages parks, forests, and development, Dawn Sass is involved in much more. She is also on the Wisconsin College Savings Program Board, which runs EdVest, which creates bank-managed investment plans for education costs. Sass is on the Wisconsin Insurance Security Board, which keeps an eye on insurance companies.
Dawn Sass also manages the custody and records of all unclaimed property.
"I am the one person who is really the true public servant," said Sass. "I am answering to the people. I go out there and try to find them. I'm actually out there working for the people."
However, Sass has receieved criticisms during her time in office. She's been accused of excessive travel expenses and of nepotism since she hired her niece.
This information on Dawn Sass and more can be found in this article by Todd Richmond.
