MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - An Essex Junction man is the new commissioner of the Vermont Department of Taxes.
The appointment of Craig Bolio was announced Wednesday by Republican Gov. Phil Scott.
Bolio has served as interim commissioner since June, after the May departure of former Commissioner Kaj Samsom.
“Craig has led the department with enthusiasm, as deputy and acting commissioner, and I know he will carry this forward in his new role,” Scott said in the statement.
Bolio, who has been with the department since 2011, also served as deputy commissioner where he focused largely on ensuring the successful implementation of the state’s new online filing site, myVTax.
Bolio said he’s thankful for the opportunity to lead the department.
“We have a fantastic team and I am excited to continue to work with them to seize opportunities and overcome challenges as we help Vermonters navigate the complex but necessary world of taxes,” he said in a statement.
