Amendment No. 1: Removing the offices of auditor and treasurer and substituting comptroller in their place
This amendment would delete the constitutional offices of auditor and treasurer and replace them with a comptroller office.
Official ballot wording
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the State of West Virginia, amending section §1, article VII thereof; and amending §2 of article VII thereof; and amending §17, article VII thereof; and amending §4, article XII thereof; all relating to removing the offices of auditor and treasurer from the West Virginia Constitution and substituting comptroller in their place. ... "To remove the offices of auditor and treasurer from the West Virginia Constitution and substitute comptroller in their place"
Yes means you support changing the state Constitution to remove the auditor and treasurer offices and substitute a comptroller.
No means you want to keep the Constitution as it is, with auditor and treasurer still listed as separate offices.
Financial impact
I did not find a direct official fiscal analysis for this specific measure in the sources I checked, so I cannot state the official fiscal impact without guessing.
Supporters’ strongest case
The official resolution says the purpose is to remove the offices of auditor and treasurer from the Constitution and substitute comptroller in their place.
Opponents’ strongest case
An opposing case is that the measure would make a constitutional change to long-standing state offices. I did not find an official opposition statement in the sources I checked, so I cannot add more without inventing it.
