The unexpected death of Republican Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka has led to a renewed conversation about combining the office’s duties with those of the state treasurer, with lawmakers and newspapers urging the adoption of the idea that’s been discussed for more than 40 years. Outgoing Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon has suggested that the incoming treasurer Frerichs be appointed comptroller in the new year and that the offices should share functions through an intergovernmental agreement.
