North Carolina State Treasurer
The North Carolina State Treasurer is a statewide elected office in the U.S. state of North Carolina responsible for overseeing the financial operations of state government. The current state treasurer is Dale Folwell. The office of state treasurer has existed since 1715 in the Province of North Carolina; at that time, the treasurer was appointed by the lower house of the legislature.

In 1784, the North Carolina General Assembly brought the treasurers under one single office, appointed jointly by both houses of the legislature. Under the North Carolina Constitution of 1868, the treasurer became a position elected by popular vote, rather than appointed. The North Carolina State Treasurer is an ex officio member of the North Carolina State Board of Education, the State Board of Community Colleges, the State Banking Commission, and the Council of State.

Joseph Montfort (c. 1730 – 25 March 1776) was a wealthy North Carolinian land owner and an active Freemason, noted to be the one and only Grand Master of and for American Freemasons. Life We know little about Montfort’s early life. Although it has been thought that he was born in England this is improbable.

Montfort became a successful merchant and planter and like others of his Rank was active in civic affairs, representing Halifax in the colonial assembly from 1766 to 1774 and eventually serving as a treasurer of the northern part of the colony.

He was active in freemasonry from the 1760s. and was instrumental in forming the Roy ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gubernatorial Lines Of Succession In The United States
The following is the planned order of succession for the governorships of the 50 U.S. states, Washington, D.C. and the 5 organized territories of the United States, according to the constitutions (and supplemental laws, if any) of each. Some states make a distinction whether the succeeding individual is acting as governor or becomes governor. From 1980 to 1999, there were 13 successions of governorships. From 2000 to 2019 this number increased to 29. The only instance since at least 1980 in which the second in line reached a state governorship was on January 8, 2002 when New Jersey Attorney General John Farmer Jr. acted as governor for 90 minutes between Donald DiFrancesco and John O. Bennett's terms in that capacity as president of the Senate following governor Christine Todd Whitman's resignation. In 2019, Secretary of Justice of Puerto Rico Wanda Vázquez Garced became governor when both the governor and secretary of state resigned in Telegramgate. From 1945 to 2016, 39 of th ...
