IRS collections chief testifies on guidelines in discrimination case

Oklahoma City AP The IRS regional collections chief testified in a federal discrimination trial that favoring minorities in promotions is allowed by IRS policy. Three former employees accuse Ron James of racial bias against whites, claiming the guidelines were his invention. James said he identified minority under representation and sought to balance the office by promoting blacks on short lists. He defended his management as autocratic with input, insisting staff align with him or be out. Auditors earlier found pressure to use harsher collection tactics violated taxpayers' rights and IRS rules. James remains in his Oklahoma City role while on assignment in Dallas.
