Internet sales tax a web of trouble
It's estimated that California loses more than $1 billion each year from uncollected taxes on internet sales. Currently, many websites exploit their position as out-of-state sellers by leaving it to the customer to calculate the sales tax themselves and send it to the state. Since many consumers are unaware of such rules, the result is lost revenue for California. Should states be able to tax internet sellers? Larry Mantle and a guest examine the issue with listeners.

Next stop, Reloville
While moving for a job is nothing new, the competitive global economy is creating a greater number of Relos, workers and their families who relocate frequently for work. Typically well-paid, Relos take homes in suburban communities and usually stay no longer than three to four years before moving on to another placement. In his book "Next Stop, Reloville", reporter Peter T. Kilborn examines this class of people who lack ties to any place. He joins Larry Mantle to discuss the Relos phenomenon and how it is affecting families and communities across the country.
