Reginald Hinton also gave an ambiguous answer.
As part of Dome's survey of the members of Gov. Mike Easley's Cabinet, we asked a spokeswoman for the N.C. Department of Revenue to ask Hinton what his plans are — specifically, whether he would like to stick around under Gov.-elect Beverly Perdue.
"Those decisions will be made by Gov.-elect Perdue," he said through a spokeswoman.
Hinton had not been on Dome's radar as a potential reappointment. Crime Control Secretary Bryan Beatty may move to another position, while Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Bill Ross may be hoping to stay.
Both Ross and Beatty also gave ambiguous answers when asked by Dome, unlike other Cabinet members who gave definite answers.
Hinton is one of the newest members of Easley's Cabinet. He was appointed in June of 2007 as a replacement for Norris Tolson.
The Revenue Secretary oversees state tax collection and the administration and enforcement of tax laws. It is one of the older positions in the Cabinet and is crucial to keeping state government running, though it's one of the least glamourous jobs in the administration.
