Amazon was going to fight it but the government did some backroom dealing to get them to play along and not send it to a popular vote (which probably would have gone against a tax). Amazon agreed to not press any further and all stores are supposed to start collecting sales tax starting mid-September. 5d3,17-40,24-105,24 1.4,85 1.4,70-200 2.8 is ii

Follow the money -- it is the vendors running that game, not consumers, not the state. Yet.

I too wish they would. Every state is hurting because they are not getting their needed revenue ever since the internet shopping has become the rage decades ago. https://photography-on-the.net …p?p=14246741#post14246741
