Would Work For $1 a Year County Treasurer Candidate Doubts Need for Office
Cameron County candidate Ralph Cowen, a Brownsville businessman, proposes abolishing the County Treasurer post. He says the job requires 8 to 10 hours daily with staff support and would work for $1 a year, donating $17,499 to local youth charities if the office is unnecessary. He criticizes state treasurer associations and cites a past abolition precedent in the county. Cowen lists Sunny Glen Children’s Home and other local groups as potential salary recipients.
