Collecting sales tax from Internet, 4-day work week on special session agenda

That’s the word from the governor’s office, which reportedly is considering a couple dozen items but only has finalized six so far. Spokeman Dan Burns tells me they include a move to collect sales tax on Internet sales from Nevada vendors — now if you buy online, there is no sales tax.

Burns derided my notion that this is a tax increase; rather it is collecting taxes that have gone uncollected, which is unfair to those who buy in the store, he told me. I hope nobody else calls this a tax increase; that would be an unfair shot at the governor of Muthian proportions.

Other items:

1. Four-day work week, 10 hours a day. Furlough days also will cost 10 hours of pay.

2. Allowing counties and cities to shift monies from capital/reserve funds

3. The so-called hold harmless clause for schools — state would only pay for number of students, even if less than previous year

The rest is still being discussed, including water.

And remember, even after the proclamation is released Tuesday, it can be amended until end of session.
