A Win for Taxpayers

From the Franchise Tax Board today:

The three-member Franchise Tax Board today named Selvi Stanislaus, 45, a Board of Equalization tax attorney, as the department’s fourth executive officer. Her appointment is effective January 17, 2006. She succeeds Gerald H. Goldberg who retired in August.

The Franchise Tax Board is comprised of State Controller and FTB Chair Steve Westly, Chair of the Board of Equalization John Chiang, and Director of Finance Michael C. Genest.

The appointment requires senate confirmation.

Sources say there will be no difficulty obtaining Senate confirmation, and I am told by insiders that her appointment is a win for taxpayers.
