Stephen Hays Stetler (born July 5, 1949) is a Democratic politician from Pennsylvania who served as Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue from March 2009 until his resignation on in December of that year. He stepped-down hours before he was indicted by a grand jury on various charges of theft and conflict of interest that were brought by the office of Attorney General Tom Corbett.
A native of York, Pennsylvania, he attended St. James School, a private Episcopal boarding school in Maryland. He earned an undergraduate degree from Drew University in 1971. In 1974, he earned a Master of Divinity from Drew University. In 1983, he earned a M.S. in Administrative Science from Johns Hopkins University. He then studied canon law at Ripon Hall in Oxford, England and took a teaching position at the National Cathedral School in Washington, D.C..
Stetler left teaching in 1977 and moved to Harrisburg to begin working for the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue. He stayed at the Department for 12 years and was eventually promoted to Deputy Secretary of Taxation, a position giving him supervision of 1,800 employees. It was during this time that Stetler attended Johns Hopkins University. He then returned to York, Pennsylvania to become a partner in D.E. Stetler and Son, his family's Dodge auto dealership.
