Rarely does Rep. Michael Arcuri take a stand that’s in line with the constituents of the 24th District, but on the issue of Internet taxation, Arcuri deserves praise for signing on to a measure that would put a permanent “moratorium on Internet access taxes.” Arcuri became a co-sponsor of the bill (H.R. 743) in September.
With only a week left to act before the tax ban expires, it’s unclear if Arcuri’s Democrat colleagues will allow a vote on the bill or instead opt for a four-year extension that won approval on a 405-2 vote. Arcuri would be wise to lobby his liberal allies to make the ban permanent.
