Ill. Gov. Quinn signs 'Amazon tax' bill -- to loud boos and cheers

Crain's Chicago Business reports:

Gov. Pat Quinn has signed legislation designed to make it easier to collect taxes from sales on the Internet, outraging Chicago's Web retailing community but pleasing conventional brick-and-mortar stores.

Enacted into law was a measure requiring any non-Illinois seller to collect the state's sales tax if that seller acquires their customer via a link on the website of an Illinois firm.

Pat Quinn sure likes taxes!
