n a second major policy reversal in less than a day, Governor Spitzer is backing down from a plan to require Amazon.com and other online retailers to charge state and local sales taxes on all purchases from New York.
Yesterday, just hours after The New York Sun reported on the new revenue collection scheme, the Spitzer administration announced that it was burying it for the time being — at least until after the Christmas shopping season. The move saved New York City shoppers from having to pay an additional 8.375% on many Amazon.com goods.
"Governor Spitzer believes that now is not the right time to be increasing sales taxes on New Yorkers."

Did the spokesman quote the Gov. when was the 'right time'?
Not to worry. Psycho-Thug Governor will raising holy hell again in 5 minutes. He lives to cause trouble and bully people around.
However, I notice that the little nut job is kept on a short leash by Hillary these days.
Looks like Eliot has become an albatross for Hillary. Now that he’s backed off both the Amazon tax and the licenses for illegals, she doesn’t have to address either sticky issue. Sweet!
Hitlery’s threat of Arkancide works its magic again...
Did the spokesman quote the Gov. when was the ‘right time’?
It should be obvious.... Right after the election.
Anyone notice that Schumee has gone into hiding??
>> “Governor Spitzer believes that now is not the right time to be increasing sales taxes on New Yorkers.”
Just yesterday he was claiming that it WASN’T a tax increase, but that he was just closing loopholes.
Yeah, the problem with NY is that the taxes are too low. NY needs massive new tax increases. This will create jobs and revitalize the economy. Spitzer is a genius.
And yes, he will try this illegal move again, 30 seconds after the 2008 election.
Since Hillary is so closely allied with him, I suspect "right after she's elected". '
“Who let this news out, You know I’m a (*******) STEAMROLLER!”
The guy is losing it big time, and thankfully so. This state is headed for bankruptcy and soon.
Very nice news. This could be the extra piece we need to hold the senate in NY. If he gets all three chairs spitzer will rule like castro.
You gotta do a spit-take on that one. Governor Spitzer thinks that any time is the right time to be increasing sales taxes on New Yorkers.
Looks like ol' Eliot is just fallen to the ground and is assuming a fetal position. This is no fun anymore. We're just gonna have to keep kicking him just because it is the thing to do at a time like this.
I will not, will not, will not ever feel sorry for Eliot Spitzer. Because you know, full well, that if the positions were reversed, he would have a foot on your neck, pressing down for all he was worth.
Has anybody seen Eliot Spitzer’s cat recently?
Yeah the anointed one queen Hillary has got Spritzer under her thumb. Her big promise is that once President he will be paid back in spades. So Elliot chills now for the greater rewards later
LOL
