Gov. Mike Easley named Reginald "Reggie" Hinton Revenue Secretary.
In a press release, the governor's office said that Hinton, acting secretary since June, would take the job permanently. He replaces Norris Tolson, who stepped down to become president of the N.C. Biotechnology Center.
"Reggie Hinton's nearly three decades with the Department of Revenue gives him a unique perspective and expertise when it comes to the vital task of overseeing the effective collection of state revenues," Easley said in a statement.
A Wake County native, Hinton has worked for the Department of Revenue since 1978. Since 2001, he has been chief deputy secretary.
The revenue department is responsible for administering tax laws and collecting taxes in North Carolina.
