Peery Seeks Block on Constitutional Amendment Appeal
State Treasurer Walter H. Peery aims to block the 1970 constitutional amendment from going to voters by appealing Judge E. Newton Vickers ruling that the measure is legal. The proposal would scrap the treasurer and auditor as constitutional officers, allow the governor and lieutenant governor to run as a team, set four-year terms for remaining officers, and leave questions on elective versus appointive status to the legislature. Peery, who lost the Republican primary to Tom R. Van Sickle, is consulting with Wichita attorney Earl Moore and has not filed a notice of appeal.
