Putting You First Since 1998 When I was first elected in 1998, my team and I shifted the mission of the office to focus on your experience, not ours . After serving 14 years under two previous commissioners, I understood the duties, authority, and limits of the office. I also knew we could do more for taxpayers, and we’ve delivered.
Highlights of Our Work for Taxpayers Every day, I talk with residents and business owners. Their ideas have lead to many innovations I have applied in the Commissioner of the Revenue’s Office. Streamlined Operations: Consolidated the office from 11 divisions to 5 for efficiency. Established Car Tax Appeals: Started with “drive-thru” appeals, now available online — not in line.
