VIRGINIA Office of the Governor James S. Gilmore, III Governor FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 10, 1999 Contact: Mark A. Miner Phone: (804) 692-3110 Pager: (888) 646-5017 Internet: http://www.state.va.us/governor RICHMOND - Governor Jim Gilmore today issued the following statement regarding Congressman John Kasich's proposal to make permanent the current three-year ban on Internet taxes: "I believe the ban on Internet taxation proposed by Congressman Kasich and the e-Freedom Coalition should be given serious consideration by the Advisory Commission on Electronic Commerce. It is encouraging to see another proposal that addresses the needs of consumers, taxpayers and small businesses in the Internet economy and one that reduces tax burdens on working men and women. I firmly believe public policies should work to promote the Internet's growth, not stifle it with burdensome regulations." ###### | |
