bluezone Diamond Member Registered: 12/19/04 Posts: 35546 Loc: USA	Editorial: Cayuga Nation can't have it both ways on tobacco taxes Monday 2010 "We find it curious that the Cayuga Indian Nation of New York has joined in the legal fight against the implementation of a system that would allow the state to collect taxes on sales of cigarettes to non-Indian consumers while preserving tribal members’ rights to purchase them tax-free. The Cayugas are saying that the whole concept of taxation is a violation of their sovereignty, and they add that being required to collect taxes on non-tribal sales would destroy their business. They no longer seem to care about the existence of a state taxation regulatory system that would preserve tax-free purchases for tribal members by using coupons or a pre-determined tax-free allotment to each tribe. This system just came into place this summer when Gov. David Paterson finally realized that it was time to level the playing field for non-Indian retailers and begin collecting these taxes. The lack of a coupon system or something similar is what had led to a court injunction preventing collection before. Prior to Paterson’s Sept. 1 plan being announced, the Cayugas had clung to the lack of a coupon system as the reason its officials couldn’t be prosecuted by Cayuga and Seneca counties for tax evasion. “If the county makes up a system involving two piles of cigarettes, the only way to determine how many untaxed cigarettes the store can sell will have to involve coupons of some type,” national attorney Lee Alcott told an appellate court in April 2009. “So everything comes back to the state and (its) tax department’s policy of forbearance.” so why are the cayugas fighting NYS if they blamed NYS for not collectioning the taxes? it is not the tribe 'paying' the taxes but the cigarette buyers

bluezone Diamond Member Registered: 12/19/04 Posts: 35546 Loc: USA	The City of New York is pursuing similar cigarette tax litigation against eastern Long Island Indians selling untaxed cigarettes to non-Native Americans (City of New York v. Golden Feather Smoke Shop). The federal district court held that the sales of massive quantities of nontaxed cigarettes to bootleggers who then resell them to non-Native Americans throughout the metropolitan area, violates the New York Tax Law. The Court enjoined further sales of untaxed cigarettes. The Long Island Indians appealed to the federal appeals court in New York City and asked to stay the injunction pending the appeal. On October 15, 2009, the federal appeals court denied the stay. This means the injunction prohibiting the untaxed sales to non-Native Americans remains in place while the appeals proceed. The federal court now has the opportunity to certify questions to the New York State Court of Appeals on the application of the Tax Law § 471 and § 471-e. If the federal appellate court does so, this raises the possibility that the New York Court of Appeals could simultaneously have before it two different cases whose central issues involve the applicability of Tax Law § 471 (and Tax Law § 471-e) to the sale of cigarettes by Native Americans to non-Native Americans.

bluezone Diamond Member Registered: 12/19/04 Posts: 35546 Loc: USA	U.S. Supreme Court to hear Oneida nation land case Published: Tuesday, October 12, 2010, 11:34 AM Updated: Tuesday, October 12, 2010, 11:51 AM Glenn Coin / The Post-Standard The U.S. Supreme Court announced today it will once again hear an Oneida Indian land case. Madison and Oneida counties, which had been thwarted in their attempts to collect taxes from the Oneida nation, tried to foreclosure on hundreds of acres of tribal land. A federal appeals court said in April that while the counties had the right to collect the taxes, tribal sovereignty prevented the counties from enforcing the law. The counties appealed, and the court decided to hear the case. No hearing date has been scheduled. The high court has ruled on Oneida Indian land cases three times, most recently in 2005 when it ruled that nation land was not sovereign and thus subject to taxes.

"The high court has ruled on Oneida Indian land cases three times, most recently in 2005 when it ruled that nation land was not sovereign and thus subject to taxes." They can rule all they want but it's been 5 years and NOTHING has been done They have already ruled 3 times...WHY is a 4th ruling needed. Also "The counties appealed, and the court decided to hear the case. No hearing date has been scheduled." So is the hearing gonna be the same day as your "Trucker's Rally" or "Paterson Day"????

I see how well the ruling worked.... it's now 5 years later and NOTHING has been enforced So it could be years before they get a court date and another five years for them to enforce it. So basically no matter what they rule it will be worthless _________________________ Spiritual people inspire me. Religious people FRIGHTEN me!
