Unclaimed property from the Department of Financial Services occurs when a financial asset becomes abandoned, lost, or left inactive after a business, bank, or other government entity holds it for 5 years.
The most common types of unclaimed property are dormant bank accounts, unclaimed insurance proceeds, stocks, dividends, uncashed checks, deposits, credit balances, and refunds. Unclaimed property can include tangible assets such as watches, jewelry, coins, currency, stamps, historical items, etc., from abandoned safe deposit boxes.

Can Blaise do anything about the tax revenues that were ‘misappropriated’ and not used to fix the roads?
Maybe get the state to pay their fair share for all the commercial property tax they keep taking off the books. Or helping with fire / law enforcement costs.
Uf should help with roads, fire, and public safety.
