Amazon.com Inc. has enlisted the help of Patton Boggs in Washington to fight for legislation that would allow states to collect sales taxes from online and catalog retailers located anywhere in the United States.
Patton senior policy adviser Michael Drobac, partner Jennifer Richter, and public policy adviser Sarah Vilms, as well as associates Jennifer Cetta and Gregory Louer, are advocating for the Seattle-based online retail giant on the Marketplace Fairness Act, according to lobbying registration paperwork filed with Congress last week. The bill, which died in committee during the last Congress, hasn’t been reintroduced in this Congress.
