Who appoints the members of the State Tax Commission (STC)?

The State Tax Commission (STC) is a key regulatory body responsible for overseeing the assessment and taxation processes within the state. The members of the STC are appointed by the Governor. This appointment process allows the Governor to influence the composition and direction of the commission, ensuring that the STC aligns with the state's fiscal policies and governance goals.

The power granted to the Governor to appoint these members reflects a broader principle of executive authority in state governance. It underscores the importance of having a commission that is responsive to the administration’s policies and priorities related to taxation and revenue generation.

Other options revolve around legislative bodies or different state officials, which do not play a direct role in the appointment of the STC members. Such separation ensures that the commission operates independently from the legislative process and can make decisions based on expertise in taxation rather than political considerations.
