Line 107:
==Relationship with the governor==
The state treasurer is an independently elected officer with both constitutional and statutory authority. As such, the governor has no direct authority over the state treasurer. However, Oklahoma's history of electing governors and treasurers of the same party has often led to positive working relationships between the two offices
The state treasurer is the state's elected chief fiscal officer and is directly accountable to the voters. In contrast, the governor's secretary of finance reports directly to the governor. Only once in recent history has a state treasurer also served as the governor's budget advisor; Governor Brad Henry appointed Miller's predecessor [[Scott Meacham]] as his [[Oklahoma Secretary of Finance and Revenue|secretary of finance and revenue]], giving Meacham supervision over all finance agencies of the State government.
