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.

being contacted by Russian authorities in 2011, sources told Fox News --
raising more questions about why the Boston bomber's trip to Russia the
following year didn't raise more red flags.Sources say the Russians contacted
the FBI once in March 2011, and several months later they contacted
the CIA about Tsarnaev.In October 2011, the CIA sent information to many
federal agencies and to "the watchlisting system" about him, the sources
say. That step ultimately put him on the vast TIDE database of
people potentially tied to terrorism cases.The FBI has said previously that
it was told Tsarnaev was a "follower of radical Islam" and was
preparing to travel to a foreign country to join unspecified underground
groups. The FBI said that it responded by interviewing Tsarnaev and family
members, but found no terrorism activity.In early 2012, Tsarnaev would travel
to Russia for six months. The nature of that trip is still
unclear.Two top Republican senators are now calling for a Senate Homeland
Security Committee hearing on the Boston Marathon bombings, as lawmakers
question whether enough was done to prevent the attack.Sens. John McCain,
R-Ariz., and Kelly Ayotte, R-NH, requested the hearing Wednesday, saying
"it has become increasingly apparent that more questions need to be answered
regarding the failure to prevent this tragedy."The senators cited the reporting
