Rep. Zack Fields (D-Anchorage) on Gov. Dunleavy's veto of the 'Amazon tax'
Description
Today is a brief bonus episode explaining Governor Dunleavy’s recent veto of Senate Bill 113 which would have required internet companies to pay corporate income taxes based on the location of their sales rather than the location of their offices.
