WASHINGTON, DC– Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA-05) applauded the passage today of H.R. 3086,the bipartisanPermanent Internet Tax Freedom Act. This legislation, which McMorris Rodgers co-sponsors, permanently ensures Americans can continue to access the Internet tax free.

“Every American should be able to use the internet without paying taxes, and now we can permanently guarantee noone faces a tax burden just to go online. This smart legislation will continue to enable Eastern Washington men, women, and children to communicate, learn, and conduct business in the 21st century. I was proud to cast my vote in support of this bill because a secure future digital economy – for wine producers in Walla Walla and online businesses in Spokane – relies on a tax free Internet every day.”
