All state budgets are drying away, but in a state with hedge funds and other businesses located near NYC, does Connecticut want to risk driving away its citizens?

Tax the hedge funds in CT. Move illegal aliens into Martha Stewart’s garden.

No one seems to learn! I work in e-retail myself and I've written previously about how these affiliate taxes have played out in the states that implement them. Long story short, there is no way that my web-based business and affiliate partners will ever be able to conform to a bunch of sales taxes passed by each various state and country in the world. Its much easier for the big partners to just abandon taxed states and take their jobs elsewhere. One click and your affiliation is terminated - its so easy to end this type of business relationship, and there's no shortage of people in other states and countries who are willing to do the work and spend the money in their own communities instead.

You can kiss Amazon partner links goodbye...that was announced days after Colorado instituted the same tax...Amazon bailed.

Laws have unintended consequences, and myopic "we need revenue NOW, screw the future" will guarantee their doom....

Is this an imposition of the collection of sales tax onto internet companies, or is it a new tax on internet access?
