mocrats -- have been lobbying the federal
government for years for the authority to collect sales taxes from online
sales.The issue is getting bigger for states as more people make purchases
online. Last year, Internet sales in the U.S. totaled $226 billion, up
nearly 16 percent from the previous year, according to Commerce Department
estimates.The National Conference of State Legislatures estimates that states
lost $23 billion last year because they couldn't collect taxes on out-of-state
sales. Daugaard estimates that South Dakota loses $48 million to $58 million
a year, important revenue for a state that doesn't have an income
tax.The main opposition in the Senate is coming from three states that
have no sales taxes: New Hampshire, Montana and Oregon. Delaware doesn't
have a sales tax, either, but both Delaware senators have voted to
advance the bill."We don't like the idea of other states auditing our
businesses," said Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore. "They don't like the idea of
being subject to both bureaucrats and potential legal action."The Associated
Press contributed to this report.

Chaffetz said Thursday that the Department of Homeland Security is using
roughly 1,000 rounds of ammunition more per person than the U.S. Army,
as he and other lawmakers sharply questioned DHS officials on their "massive"
bullet buys."It is entirely ... inexplicable why the Department of Homeland
Security needs so much ammunition," Chaffetz, R-Utah, said at a hearing.The
hearing itself was unusual, as questions about the department's ammunition
purchases until recently had bubbled largely under the radar -- on blogs
and in the occasional news article. But as the Department of Homeland
Security found itself publicly defending the purchases, lawmakers gradually
showed more interest in the issue.Democratic Rep. John Tierney, D-Mass.,
at the opening of the hearing, ridiculed the concerns as "conspiracy theories"
which have "no place" in the committee room.But Republicans said the purchases
raise "serious" questions about waste and accountability.Chaffetz, who chairs
one of the House oversight subcommittees holding the hearing Thursday, revealed
that the department currently has more than 260 million rounds in stock.
He said the department bought more than 103 million rounds in 2012
and used 116 million that same year -- among roughly 70,000 agents.Comparing
that with the small-arms purchases procured by the U.S. Army, he said
the DHS is churning through between 1,300
