Dunleavy revenue commissioner resigns as state budget proposal deadline approaches
Bruce Tangeman will resign as commissioner of the Alaska Department of Revenue.
The resignation comes a month before Gov. Mike Dunleavy must submit his next budget proposal. Dunleavy said in a statement that he “regrettably” received Tangeman’s letter of resignation. The governor also thanked Tangeman.
In an opinion article published on the Anchorage Daily News website Friday, Tangeman wrote that he wants Governor Mike Dunleavy “to have someone who is 100% aligned with his vision.” He also wrote that any potential new taxes would support what he called an unsustainable budget, as well as permanent fund dividends.
“His leadership and oversight of the Department of Revenue enabled many lasting changes and efficiencies,” Dunleavy said in a written statement. “His character and strong work ethic have been a valuable asset to our team.”
Dunleavy added that he wishes Tangeman “all the best for his future endeavors.”
