Hank Dugie, who campaigned and won a spot as Galveston County's newest treasurer on a platform calling to eliminate the office, said he won't take the $117,000 salary the position has historically drawn. The former League City council member signed an affidavit, confirming plans to not draw a salary while in office and continuing efforts to end the position in Galveston County. 'I think electing to forgo a salary could help build a level of trust with the taxpayers and citizens of Galveston County,' Dugie said.
