Tech Association Calls on Congress to Not “Stifle Recovery” with New Bill

November 21, 2011

TechAmerica Senior Vice President for Federal Government Affairs Kevin Richards released a statement last week in opposition to the latest string of Internet sales tax bills introduced this Congress. In his statement, Mr. Richards raised concerns about the impact of the legislation on our economy: “There is a consistent movement to simplify government regulations but further regulating online businesses seems to be popular on Capitol Hill. Congress should be focusing on how to keep this recovery going - not trying to stifle it. Simply put, this is one more wrong bill.” Visit the TechAmerica website for more information on the association and their opposition to the enactment of Internet sales tax legislation.
