Roderick Becker today was confirmed by the Senate as the Director of the Department of Accounting and General Services.
Becker was most recently the Deputy Director of Finance, appointed by Governor Ige in 2014. Prior to the appointment, Becker was a Legislative Analyst for the Honolulu City Council until 2008 when he was tapped to be Budget Chief for the Senate Committee on Ways and Means where he supported the legislature’s development of the state budget.
“I have found Rod to be hard-working, honest and not giving in to political pressures,” said Senator Donna Mercado Kim, chair of the Senate Committee on Government Operations, about his tenure with WAM. “I am sure he will bring these attributes with him in his position as State Comptroller and ensure that state government services will move smoothly into the 21st century.”
