Judge Rules in Favor of Senecas
Temporary Restraining Order in Place
A federal judge has ruled in favor of the Seneca Nation by issuing a temporary restraining order that blocks New York State’s attempts to collect taxes from them for 14 days.
Judge Richard Arcara made his ruling earlier this afternoon.
Yesterday, a state Supreme Court Judge lifted an injunction that kept New York from collecting the taxes, which they said they intended to start collecting tomorrow.
After the judge’s ruling yesterday, the Seneca Tribal Council voted to stop making payments to the state from its casino slots revenues.
The slots revenues add up to about $700 million. The state expects to collect $200 million from the cigarette taxes.
