Emmett accountant appointed to Idaho State Tax Commission - Lewiston Morning Tribune

Idaho Gov. C.L. (Butch) Otter has appointed Emmett accountant Rich Jackson to a six-year term on the Idaho State Tax Commission.

Jackson, 67, has a long history of public service. He previously served as chairman of the Idaho Legislative Compensation Committee, which makes recommendations on pay and benefits for state lawmakers, as well as treasurer of the Idaho House of Representatives Republican Caucus and was a former chairman of the Gem County Republican Central Committee.

To ensure transparency and prevent the appearance of any conflict of interest, Jackson said he will step down from the withdraw from his accounting partnership and will recuse himself from any Tax Commission issues involving former clients, his partner or his employees.

The other appointees to the four-member commission include former Republican Senate President Pro Tem Bob Geddes and Democrats Tom Katsilometes and David Langhorst.

Jackson will fill the vacancy created when Otter appointed then-Commissioner Severina Haws to the Idaho Commission on Aging.
