MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Gov. Tony Evers has named the next secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Revenue.
David Casey will take over the department beginning April 29. Casey succeeds Pete Barca, who retired earlier this month.
“We are excited David is returning to state service as secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Revenue,” Evers said in a news release. “I look forward to David bringing his decades of experience in the industry, previous history working alongside our dedicated state workers, and his knowledge of our state tax laws and codes back to the department to serve the people of Wisconsin.”
Casey was the deputy DOR secretary from 2019-22. He is currently a principal industry expert in tax compliance and fraud for SAS Institute in Cary, North Carolina.
“Nearly every individual and business in the state of Wisconsin has some form of interaction with the Department of Revenue, and it is our responsibility to ensure these interactions are as efficient and effective as possible while maintaining the highest levels of tax compliance,” Casey said in a news release. “The department is a premier tax agency known for innovative solutions and outstanding customer service, all due to the focus of hardworking state employees. It is my honor to once again work in this world-class organization to serve the needs of Wisconsin taxpayers.”
Casey has more than 30 years experience working with state tax agencies.
