And in his initial term Schroder is working hard to give citizens some money.
“I’m working really hard in my first year in office to sort of re-brand,” said Schroder, “because nobody knows what unclaimed property is.”

The state gets about $90 million annually, according to Schroder. Roughly $30 million is returned.
