Cheryl Musgrave, Commissioner of the Department of Local Government Finance, has resigned effective Friday, December 12, 2008.
Musgrave was appointed by Governor Mitch Daniels in July 2007. A former Vanderburgh County Commissioner, Musgrave only intended serving as DLGF Commisioner for 18 months before returning home. She had privately informed Governor Daniels of her resignation weeks ago.
The Department of Local Government Finance is responsible for all property tax assessments as well as local government budgeting by cities, towns, counties, school districts, and other taxing bodies.
It is unclear if Musgrave had made a final decision regarding the new high school building project in Hammond.
