The full Senate Commerce Committee voted today 14-5 to approve an amended version of the Internet Tax Freedom Act. Here's how members voted:
14 Yes: McCain, Stevens, Burns, Snowe, Ashcroft, Frist, Abraham, Brownback, Hollings, Inouye, Rockefeller, Kerry, Breaux, Wyden 5 No: Gorton, Hutchinson, Ford, Bryan, Dorgan 1 Did not vote: Lott
Hmmmm. With a yes vote from the above mentioned parties I wonder what the possible implications are. Specifically McCain, Inouye and Rockefeller. Ashcroft has been pro internet for years so I'm not concerned. Is there anything in the ITFA that assigns specific powers that didn't exist before? Like a Federal Tax on Internet Access?
