Senate Passes PACT Act
The US Senate has unanimously passed a bill that could kill the Seneca Nation's mail-order cigarette business.
The Senate's passage of the Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act mean the US Postal Service will be banned from mailing tobacco products.
The House passed its version of the bill 397-11 last May.
The unanimous vote obviously means that New York senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand voted for it.
The Seneca Nation, which has said the bill could threaten as many as 1,000 jobs in Western New York, haven't commented yet on the passage of the bill.
