Don’t look for new Treasurer of State Larry Walther to make big changes to the office he’s been appointed. He doesn’t believe in messing up a good thing and he also wants to learn more about who the office serves before looking for ways to tweak improvements.

“I want to know who our customers are,” he said on this week’s edition of Talk Business & Politics and Capitol View. “I’m thinking about how I can improve the Treasury. It’s a well-run machine right now. You don’t want to tweak things that are already going well.”

Walther said he didn’t think he would serve four more years at his previous state post, Secretary of the Department of Finance and Administration – the agency he had run for nearly nine years. He informed Gov. Sarah Sanders, who would be making the appointment to fill the State Treasurer’s position after the untimely death of Mark Lowery, and let her know he’d be willing to serve as Treasurer.
