Marc Gerson was quoted regarding the 11 Power Players in 2015 Business Tax Reform. Gerson commented on Mark Mazur, assistant secretary for tax policy at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, who ranked at number five on the list. "If the process moves forward politically," Gerson said of Mazur, "Mark is the top tax technical and policy person for the administration. Current discussions have been in the context of the budget so I can understand why the secretary is out front, but if an effort really gets going, and given how complex tax reform would be, Mazur's experiences would be brought to bear."
