REGARDING:
“If this goes through, Florida residents will have to start paying sales tax on Amazon purchases even if the Internet Sales Tax Bill fails, (which it looks like it will).”

Of course we will. Sales taxes are charged on sales within a state.
Federal government sets taxes, if any, between states.

I don’t buy from Amazon, but don’t try to cheat my government (they have big guns and hard prisons).

If this goes through, Florida residents will have to start paying sales tax on Amazon purchases even if the Internet Sales Tax Bill fails, (which it looks like it will).

This will likely result in me and others doing our internet shopping elsewhere.

Let’s not be too harsh on our county and city with their abilities to lure in the big paying jobs.
Just look at the “Technology Park” between the Civic (aka Bay) Center and that fancy Aragon housing project.
Wait, oh yeah, there’s not ever been anyone using the Technology Park, my bad.
Okay, go ahead and ask why Escambia Co & Pensacola never want businesses and jobs. Meantime, I’m going down to the shined up Airstream trailers on Main and Palafox for a cheese sandwich and some tacos if I can find a place to park.

How dare you people criticize our hometown aristocracy! Why should politicians care about you?

The EC Commissioners never consider anything that brings in business. It is really too bad….things here have not changed in 30 years, except some areas are more run down. It is too bad they don’t want to update the county.

What a shame…….Escambia County can’t see the forest for the trees.

Historically , Pensacola has a track record decades long abstaing from luring anything as industry or any big business to Pensacola.

However they want tourist .
So they lure hotdog stands and taco’s to bring in the big paying jobs.

For the past 68 years it has gone from bad to worse in Pensacola.
Yet, they fly all over the world as good fellows trying to lure so called business using tax $.
Just another vacation for the boys.
