The deadline to consider revenue and appropriations bills that originated in the Senate occurred this week. Among other things, these bills detail how much money will be appropriated to a number of different state boards and departments. This week I've received several phone calls and emails about the legality of Amazon collecting "sales tax". Many citizens are questioning how Amazon is collecting a tax that was not approved by the legislature. This is a legitimate question that I hope to answer.
