Everson is currently the Commissioner of the Department of Workforce Development for the State of Indiana as well as Vice Chairman for the alliantgroup, a national tax advisory firm.

We spoke to Mr. Everson about his current position with the alliantgroup, his recent article in the Washington Post regarding immigration reform, and the current IRS debacle. Mr. Everson’s obvious expertise on these subjects helped to shed light on the current happenings in both immigration reform and the scandal facing the IRS.

In his article in the Washington Post, Mr. Everson said “I strongly support the current reform effort, including the amnesty provisions that are generating such controversy.” Tune-in to the interview to hear more on immigration reform and his thoughts regarding the IRS controversy over partisan 501(c)(4) status scrutiny.
