Bills to be introduced by Republican Rep. Eileen Kowall of Oakland County's White Lake Township and Democratic Rep. Jim Ananich of Flint would move online-only retailers under the same sales tax collection laws under which brick-and-mortar businesses operate.

"This is not a new tax, and this is not an expanded tax," Kowall said, adding the legislation would simply beef up enforcement of the existing tax.

Not new?  Well, it's been noncollectable for the past 12 years.  So, it's new.  It's also the dumbest thing I've seen Lansing Republicans associate their names with to date.  This "bipartisan" scheme cooked up to address what Engler and Granholm wouldn't touch has all the appearances of the Republican Majority being the Party of Greed.
