IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
No action needed; monitor if Treasury issues any formal policy response, which would change its classification.
Why This Score
This is a symbolic request from a single state official with no institutional mechanism, no legal or administrative action, and negligible governance impact. It has minor media/meme potential due to cultural symbolism but lacks any strategic distraction pattern or systemic consequence, meeting all noise gate criteria.
