Kenney picks revenue commissioner

Mayor Kenney, nearing the last of his administrative appointments, on Wednesday announced his picks for revenue commissioner, director of supportive housing and executive director of the Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations.

For revenue commissioner, Kenney tapped Frank Breslin, who was formerly the city's deputy revenue commissioner. In that post, he was responsible for directing the department's accounting, compliance and taxpayer services operations.

"With over 30 years of tax compliance experience, I can't think of another individual more qualified to serve as Revenue Commissioner than Frank Breslin," Kenney said in a news release.

Elizabeth Hersh, the executive director of the Housing Alliance of Pennsylvania, will serve as director of supportive housing. At the Housing Alliance, Hersh has spearheaded numerous initiatives to create housing opportunities across the state by investing public and private funding, according to the release.

Rue Landau will continue to serve as the executive director of the Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations, a position she has held since 2008. The commission enforces city laws prohibiting discrimination while working to promote equal rights and advance community relations surrounding issues such as race, religion, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation and gender identity.
