I. Falls Council Supports Main Street Fairness Act

International Falls City Council is giving its support to proposed legislation that would allow States to collect taxes from purchases made by consumers over the Internet.

Proponents says the "Main Street Fairness Act" levels the playing field between on-line retailers and store-front businesses.

Fall City Councillor Cynthia Jacksa says the proposed bill will bring additional revenue to the State which in turn helps maintain funding the city receives.
