Revenue Director Proposes Six Inspectors for Tax Fraud
Kansas state official J. E. Kirchner, director of revenue, calls for creation of six new audit inspection positions modeled on the IRS to probe tax frauds. Estimated salaries total 30 000 to 35 000 annually and could yield several times that in state savings. The proposal, in a letter to the efficiency committee, accompanies a prior reorganization cutting field agents from 136 to 75 with annual savings of 242 524.
