The Next Tax Increase

Buried in the story about the Stadium's tax-receipts (not enough, according to the Stadium Board) is a clear early warning from Deputy Revenue Secretary Laura Engen:

Another possibility is that residents in the five-county region are doing more online shopping and paying little or no sales taxes on the transactions.

State figures suggest that Wisconsin loses about $150 million in year in sales tax collections because of online sales, Engan said.


Not to worry. Your State, ever on the watch for MORE OF YOUR MONEY, will find a way to fix that little problem.

Diamond Jim wanted to do that in the last budget .... tax all kinds of Internet things. But I don't trust the Republicans here either.
