Can anyone tell me what the legal status of state governments taxing long
distance calls is? [It seems that a while back, Illinois state government
tried to tax long distance calls and a Federal court struck down that
attempt.] This seems to me an effort of state governments taxing
interstate trade.
Recently, South Carolina state government tried to tax long distance calls.
Fortunately, nobody voted that in and for the moment, our pockets are safe
while the lawbreakers' session for this year is closed.
