HJR 134 by Bonnen: Eliminating the Position of Galveston Co. Treasurer

HJR 134 seeks to abolish the office of the County Treasurer in Galveston County. The currently elected County Treasurer ran on the platform of abolishing the office and the duties of the office can be absorbed by other offices that already exist within county government. SJR 28 would shrink the size of the government by eliminating a superfluous office. For all of these reasons, TFR supports HJR 134.
