U.S. Senator Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., joined Sens. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., and Heidi Heitkamp, D-ND, at a press conference on April 23 to discuss and urge the passage of the Marketplace Fairness Act.

The Marketplace Fairness Act would close the online sales tax loophole that harms small businesses, bring sales tax laws up-to-date and level the playing field so all businesses can compete fairly. Last month, the U.S. Senate overwhelmingly endorsed the legislation in a non-binding budget amendment by a vote of 75-24.

U.S. Senator Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., spoke today in favor of a bipartisan amendment he plans to offer to the budget resolution that would remove the federal government from the fiscal decisions states make. The amendment would reflect the policies of the Marketplace Fairness Act and allow states to enforce and collect state and local use tax laws from online and catalog sales if they choose to do so.

The Senate majority's budget will cause $5.2 trillion in deficits, does not reform Social Security or Medicare, two of the largest areas of federal spending and never achieves a balanced budget, according to senior Senate Budget Committee member U.S. Senator Mike Enzi, R-Wyo.
