Revenue Department Gets Boost From Sec Snyder
Secretary of the Treasury Snyder announced a shift to a more efficient and honest Internal Revenue Service. The unveiling of a revamped national headquarters followed corruption scandals that led to dismissals, with 64 political collectors replaced by 21 civil service district commissioners. Three career tax officials were sworn in as assistant commissioners to oversee operations, rule making, and inspection services. The plan aims to streamline administration without major personnel upheaval and to fully implement by year end.
