Would an Online Sales Tax Help Deerfield Businesses?

The Marketplace Fairness Act would give states the ability to collect online sales taxes.

The Senate cleared the way this week for the passage of the Marketplace Fairness Act, which requires businesses with more than $1 million in Internet sales to pay sales taxes to the state where the buyer resides, Slate reported.  While a 1992 Supreme Court decision allows for taxing online sales, states don’t collect online sales tax unless the buyer voluntarily sends it.  In 2012, states collectively lost an estimated $23.3 billion in sales tax revenue due to online sales according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, the Huffington Post reported.

If restaurant sign appearance standards are so important in this village, then why can't we enforce removal of signs from businesses that have closed; to wit: The ugly skeletal remains of Woodfire on Lake Cook Road, or Wonder, or General Cinema.   more ›

I would LOVE to see a specialty coffee shop/retailer with a frozen yogurt offering. Yes, I like Starbucks, but the line out the door on a freezing Saturday morning suggests that Deerfield is underserved. And, I will make sure the signage is tasteful and appropriate.   more ›

Dream Comes True for Avenue Fashions Owner

After years in Chicago and Lincolnwood, Sandy Panuce opens her dream shop in Deerfield Square.

Sandy Panuce may be relatively new to the Deerfield merchant community, but the owner of Avenue Fashions has been in the apparel business all her life. It has been a family endeavor for over 60 years.  When she opened her Deerfield location on May 1, 2011, it was the culmination of what she hoped to achieve in the retail business. Recently, she took time to answer five questions for Patch.  What led you to open Avenue Fashions in Deerfield? I like the mall and Deerfield is in between Highland Park, Lake Forest, Northbrook, Riverwoods, Glenview and Glencoe.  Why is Deerfield a good community for the Avenue Fashions? The people in Deerfield helped me reenergize myself. These are very nice people. This is a location where people are going …
