>>I thought we might see Craig there, since he's gotten a little notoriety, lately, as well as a legal defense fund. Nope. Yep - @ 145. There is a heavy bias towards shorters (contrarians) and day traders.

Governors Looking to Tax Purchases Made Online, Paper Says Indianapolis, Indiana, April 6 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. Governors are beginning to think that purchases made online should be taxed, as Internet commerce is cutting the states out of some revenue they normally would collect, the Indianapolis Star/News reported. Indiana Gov. Frank O'Bannon said leaving online purchases untaxed could greatly erode the sales tax revenue that states depend on to pay for roads, schools, and other services, as Internet sales are expected to reach $327 billion worldwide by 2002. Colorado Gov. Roy Romer and Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt led the National Governors Association's efforts to soften federal legislation that would temporarily ban states from taxing the fledging Internet market, the paper said. Internet service providers are expecting a sales increase of 86 percent on average this year. o~~~ O
