Amazon Now Cutting Ties with Connecticut Affiliates

Word is going around on Twitter today that Amazon has sent out emails to its Connecticut affiliates. Amazon has booted all Connecticut residents from its affiliates programs following a new budget policy bill that was passed on Tuesday.

The new bill includes a number of tax measures which are design to close the gaping deficit between the state’s income and expenditures. One component is the so-called “Amazon tax”, which targets web retailers with affiliates in the state.
