NY State Seizes Seneca Cigarette Truck
New York State has seized a truck belonging to a Seneca Nation cigarette retailer as the truck was on its way from the Cattaraugus to the Allegany reservations.
The state Office of Taxation and Finance says there were thousands of cigarettes in the truck owned by A.J.’s Wholesale and none of the packs had the proper state tax stamp.
The Senecas say because the cigarettes were being transported between reservations they didn’t need stamps.
Seneca Nation President Barry Snyder Sr. says the Senecas are weighing their options to determine what steps to take and preserve the sovereign rights of the Seneca people.
