While your Congressional representatives are on recess, remind them of the importance of a long-term transportation financing solution and urge their support of the Marketplace and Internet Tax Fairness Act (MITFA). The Senate passed MIFTA, S. 2609 with bipartisan support. It includes a 10‐year extension of the moratorium on Internet access taxes. ICMA has joined with mayors, county executives and commissioners, council members and other appointed local officials to urge support for the Marketplace and Internet Tax Fairness Act because it:

• Helps local businesses by creating a level playing field.
• Allows local governments to collect an estimated $23 billion in uncollected sales taxes on remote sales that are already owed.
