White House Moves To Fill Top Treasury Tax Post

From the Wall Street Journal:

President Barack Obama Wednesday nominated Michael Mundaca to serve as assistant secretary for tax policy at the Treasury Department.

Mundaca has been serving as acting assistant secretary for much of this year. He served in the Clinton administration's Treasury Department as deputy international tax counsel, and returned to Treasury in 2007.

A previous nominee for Treasury's top tax job, University of Southern California Professor Elizabeth Garrett withdrew her nomination earlier this year.
