Line 79: Though both the [[Governor of Oklahoma]] and State Treasurer are elected at the same time, they are elected independently of each other. This makes determining the exact relationship between the offices difficult as it is primarily based on those individuals who hold the offices. With Governor [[Mary Fallin]] and State Treasurer [[Ken A. Miller]] in office, Oklahoma has had a Governor and State Treasurer of the same party since 2003 since both Fallin and Miller are of the [[Oklahoma Republican Party\|Republican Party]]. When a Governor and State Treasurer are of the same party, the Governor often uses the State Treasurer as his chief fiscal advisor. Then can be seen when then Governor Brad Henry appointed then State Treasurer Scott Meacahm as his [[Oklahoma Secretary of Finance and Revenue\|Secretary of Finance and Revenue]] in his Cabinet, giving Meacham supervision over all finance agencies of the State government. However, even when the Governor and State Treasurer are the same party, the ~~Govenror~~Governor may not rely on the State Treasurer in this manner. This is seem with current Governor Mary Fallin when she appointed [[Preston Doerflinger]] to serve as his Secretary of Finance and Revenue, a position that oversees the operations of the State Treasurer Ken A. Miller's office. When the Governor and State Treasurer are of different parties, the State Treasurer's role in State government is often minimal.
