Kathy Keneally Confirmed as AAG Tax (3/30/12)
Kathy Keneally's nomination to Assistant Attorney General Tax Division has been confirmed by the Senate. Congratulations to Kathy!
Her bio at Fulbright & Jaworski web site, here.
Jack's opinion: She will be great for the job. And she will be working with a division of lawyers who are wonderful both as lawyers and public servants. I expect great things from her tenure and think this is another significant, even if anecdotal reason, for President Obama to be re-elected. Give Kathy time to make a difference. She will.
