Yes, we know we’re late to the party on state Treasurer Kate Marshall’s wonderfully wicked news release on finding unclaimed property owned by the state of Nevada, but we just could not let it pass by without saying something.
Apparently, there’s about $118,000 in unclaimed property that belongs to various government agencies just sitting around. A total of 28 state agencies have unclaimed funds, Marshall found, which they can now reclaim.
What’s funny about this? This quote: "I am excited to be able to give back to the citizens of Nevada what rightfully belongs to them. It is amazing what little effort it takes to find this money. I’m sure that once the word gets out, citizens from around the state will start staking their claim to what is rightfully theirs."
Now, if you’re reading this blog, we know you’re smart enough to translate that. But would you be so kind as to indulge us? Here’s what we read, between those lines:
"I have no idea what former state Treasurer Brian Krolicki was doing in this office, but it sure as hell wasn’t working. We practically tripped over this unclaimed property that belongs to taxpayers, although it could have been dislodged when he tried to steal all the office furniture once his bid to keep this suite of offices was rejected. Don’t worry, Nevada: Just as we got the office furniture back from Krolicki, so we’ll get you your unclaimed property. Why? Well, it’s my job, and it’s time somebody did it."
Oh, how we love translating! And, to answer the question we raised in our translation, the man we’ve come to call Nevada’s Weasel-in-Chief was very busy working to get various firms managing programs like the state’s pre-paid tuition program to put his mug on fliers as a free way to campaign, or pimping his family for a chance to get into the newspaper.
Beautifully done, even without our translation and snarky, mean-spirited comments. We think this Kate Marshall person might have a future in politics! Oh, and by the way, if you think you have unclaimed property (whether you’re a state agency or not) click here to find out more.
