Attorney General Rules Against Governor Gagtion
In an opinion to the state board of public works Attorney General A G Denman holds State Treasurer Creamer had no authority to withhold salaries and expense accounts of board members or other elected state officers. The treasurer must honor legislature approved vouchers and may only remove derelict officers by legal process. Traveling expenses are reimbursable up to 50 per month from the appropriation, and time devoted to duties must be reasonable. The opinion argues that legal title to an office carries the right to salary and condemns withholding pay without lawful basis.
