The Wall Street Journal is reporting that E Commerce sales rose 15.5% over the previous year during the 2009 holiday shopping season. "As predicted, sales over the Internet notched relatively strong growth in the season, rising 15.5%., according to MasterCard. Although online sales tend to wind down by the weekend before Christmas as free-shipping offers expire, a snowstorm that walloped the East Coast from North Carolina to all points north the Saturday before Christmas meant that many shoppers had little choice but to turn to their computers to finish off their gift lists." This news is yet another reason the legislature needs to look seriously at the legislation I have filed to collect the taxes we are already owed.
