Summary
Marcus Jones Martin, CPA, was advised and consented to serve the remainder of a term on the Mississippi State Tax Appeals Board; committee asked him to file a statement of economic interest, and he said he would do so within 24 hours.
Marcus Jones Martin, introduced to the committee as a CPA and former board member, was advised and consented by the Senate Finance Committee to serve as an associate member of the Mississippi State Tax Appeals Board for the remainder of the specified term.
Martin said he is a practicing CPA in Laurel, a partner with the firm listed in the transcript as Parrigs and Ingram, and that he previously served on the board during the Barber administration and had received a recess appointment the prior June. Committee staff noted his statement of economic interest had not yet been filed; Martin said, "I've got that on my computer here to follow-up... I will do it within the next 24 hours." The chair reminded him to complete the filing before the nomination is brought to the floor.
A motion to advise and consent was made and the committee approved the nomination for floor consideration. The transcript records the committee's procedural vote and the chair's instruction to complete oath and bond processes before floor consideration.
