Governor Brian Sandoval announced the appointment of William Anderson as Director of the Department of Taxation, effective February 12. Anderson will replace outgoing Director Deonne Contine who resigned earlier this month. The Governor says Bill Anderson has served as the state’s lead economist for more than a decade. During this time, he has worked closely to stay ahead of economic trends and monitor employment statistics in Nevada. His work has allowed the state to better understand how dynamic job growth effects specific populations which has helped influence policy decisions.
