Overview
Bloomberg Law quoted Lisa Zarlenga in an article titled "IRS Vets and Wild Cards: Trump's Options for Replacing Long." The article discusses potential replacements for the recently ousted commissioner, Billy Long. Names that have been mentioned include agency veterans, Donald Korb and Kenneth Kies, as well as former officials from Trump's first term, David Kautter, Michael Desmond, and Chuck Rettig.
Zarlenga offered insight into what qualities might define the next commissioner, explaining that she "would think with all of the changes he (Trump) wants to institute, he would go with somebody who is more of a manager than a tax lawyer."
