Congress Sinks State/Local Internet Taxation on Friday

according to this AP article. Late Friday both houses of Congress finally got their acts (no pun intended) together and passed legislation to block state and local internet taxation and sent it to the president for signature. President Bush is expected to sign the bill. Unfortunately, all states that already tax the internet, except Wisconsin, are grandfathered in. [Dana Baggett]
