Senate Commerce cmte approves tax freedom bill 14-5
[Right now I'm over at the Digital/Altavista summit to discuss rating systems in search engines so I missed the vote. (Barry Steinhardt from the ACLU just finished speaking. Sen. Judd Gregg, a CDA fan, spoke this morning.) This bill limits local and state governments' ability to tax the Net. --Declan] ---- (forwarded to me by a House staffer)

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?
