[4] After entering office,Adamczyk cut two positions in the office but continued to draw his $70,000 a year salary while campaigning against the existence of the office. [5] Adamczyk succeeded in lobbying the state legislature for a constitutional amendment eliminating the role of State Treasurer.

According to public reports by Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel and Wisconsin Secretary of State Doug La Follette,Adamczyk verbally abused and harassed staff in the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands office.
