Mission

My goal is to offer prudent financial management of all state monies through efficient safekeeping practices and to maximize interest income to the state with sound and wise investments.

Never has good financial management of the state's resources been more important. It has a direct bearing on our credit rating. Hard earned taxpayer dollars deserve careful and thoughtful consideration. Making these dollars stretch will result in the successful operation of state government.


State government operates similar to most corporations with two separate divisions: Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable. The State Controller handles the Accounts Payable portion while the State Treasury controls the Accounts Receivable function. All monies received by any state agency flow
through the State Treasurer's Office. These funds are accounted for, credited to the proper state agency and then placed in the bank to cover the warrants (checks) issued by the State Controller. If the money is not needed immediately to pay the state's bills it is then invested by the State Treasurer. Every dime earned in interest income is money that does not come out of the taxpayers pocket . . . and that is important!
