PHOENIX (AP) — The Arizona House of Representatives has for the second time voted down a bill that would have reduced income taxes to offset new collections from online sales.

House Bill 2465, introduced by Republican Rep. J.D.

Estimates of revenue from Internet sales tax vary from $100 million to more than $700 million in additional state and local sales tax dollars per year.
