Seneca Nation Urging Veto

Seneca Nation representatives are urging Governor David A. Paterson to veto legislation aimed at ending tax-free cigarette sales by Indian retailers. Richard Nephew, chairman of the Seneca Nation Council met with Paterson's representatives for more than two hours today. Legislators are trying again to collect the taxes because of the state's financial crisis. But Nephew says Paterson's approval of the bill would be detrimental to the Western New York economy. He says the Senecas are not part of the problem, but are actually part of the solution because of all the money they bring in. Nephew says he received no indication from the governor's staff about Paterson's intentions for the measure.
