Snyder Speaks Out on PACT Act
Seneca Nation President Barry Snyder Sr. is blasting lawmakers who voted in favor of the Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act.
He says if President Obama signs it, and it becomes law, more than 1,000 jobs would be lost in Western New York.
The bill bans the US Postal Service from mailing tobacco products.
Snyder says the PACT Act is being portrayed as a tool to fight cigarette smuggling, but it's really about big tobacco protecting its market share.
He says this is more than just a Seneca issue, it's an economic issue for all of Western New York.
