Internet retailers oppose Marketplace Fairness Act

Lance Trebesch, CEO of http://www.TicketPrinting.com based in Bozeman, says the passage of the bill would not only inhibit small-business growth, but would also put the brakes on the creation of more "Montana success stories."

TicketPrinting is an online business that prints custom tickets for any event, as well as posters, wristbands and other event-related paraphernalia. It was founded in Bigfork in 1997 by Mike Yinger, who is currently a co-owner of the company and chief technology officer.

"Many businesses in Montana have robust e-commerce channels, as it is a way for us to get beyond our geography," Trebesch said. "This would essentially stop the growth of all that innovation happening."
