Morris, who joined the Department of Revenue in August 2001, has served in numerous capacities including deputy cabinet secretary and deputy tax commissioner. He was named state tax commissioner by Gov. Joe Manchin in October 2007.
Manchin said Morris has been a great asset and a dedicated public servant during his time in the Department of Revenue. “Chris has done a tremendous job leading our Tax Modernization Project and changing the business processes at the Tax Department, which will result in better taxpayer services to the citizens of West Virginia,” the governor said.
Morris said, “While I am looking forward to my transition into the private sector, I will miss working with the great people in the Tax Department. Working with this agency and with this governor has been very rewarding. There are many wonderful people in the Department of Revenue diligently working on a daily basis to make a positive impact for all West Virginians.”
Manchin will appoint Craig Griffith, current deputy tax commissioner, as acting tax commissioner. Virgil Helton, secretary of the Department of Revenue, said, “Craig has been with the Tax Department for nearly three years and prior to that he practiced law at a local firm in the areas of state and local tax, municipal bonds and corporate law. He will do an outstanding job building on the success we have had in the Department of Revenue.”
