TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - The state of Florida is after millions
of dollars it claims some Internet travel companies are taking out
of the state.
Republican Attorney General Bill McCollum sued two of the
companies - Expedia and Orbitz - Tuesday, claiming they have failed
to reimburse Florida millions of tax dollars collected on hotel
room rentals made through one of the online companies.
The lawsuit states that while the companies have been collecting
the taxes from consumers, they have remitted only a portion of them
back to Florida, keeping the rest as profit.
Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink, a Democrat, applauded
McCollum's decision to sue the companies. Sink and McCollum are
each seeking their respective party's nomination for governor.
