(Raleigh, N.C.) – State Treasurer Dale R. Folwell, CPA, will broadcast the Dec. 1, 2020 Council of State (COS) meeting live on the Department of State Treasurer (DST) Facebook page starting at 9 a.m.
Treasurer Folwell has made transparency and government accessibility a hallmark of his administration, and providing an opportunity to North Carolina residents to watch the COS meetings live is in keeping with that principle. He has been critical of the difficulty to view the meetings at which important decisions and deliberations occur. The live video on the DST Facebook page has proven to be a popular feature with interested taxpayers.
The COS comprises North Carolina's executive branch of government. Under the North Carolina Constitution, it is composed of 10 statewide elected officers: The governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, state auditor, commissioners of agriculture, insurance and labor, secretary of state, superintendent of public instruction and treasurer.
