    At the end of the show we got to the advertising tax issues:

    Tax and crabs – mmmmm!

    The advertising tax news was mixed for other states. But we all send Arnold a big shout out for keeping affiliates on track in California. Also Overstock will continue to do business with California affiliates. And a warm Aloha to Governor Linda Lingle of Hawaii, who seemed to be influenced by the affiliate rally.

    We also decided that to hammer home the issue about affiliates and taxes, the industry needs a charismatic, powerful spokesperson.
