Solution to ‘tax gap’: More staffing

Royce Chigbrow, chairman of the state Tax Commission, asked how he plans to address the “tax gap” of uncollected taxes, said, “Our plan is to work with the Legislature and to work with the governor’s office, because we truly feel that our solution is to have staffing adequate to ensure that compliance takes place, and to be able to follow up on all of the leads that we do have, rather than only being able to follow up on a fraction of the leads.”
