FL Targets Internet With New Sales Tax
The good times are ending
CLEARWATER — The world's freest marketplace is set to become the next playground for Florida's tax collectors.

Margolis did not return calls to Florida Watchdog, but she told Jacksonville News 4 that the idea of the tax rests on imposing fairness for Florida's businesses.
