Porter: Seneca Nation Will Appeal

Seneca President Robert Odawi Porter says the Nation will file papers with the Appellate Division of the State Supreme Court in regard to today's court decision allowing the state to collect taxes on cigarettes sold by Indian retailers to non-Indians.

In a news release, Porter says, no matter what the court decides, the Seneca Nation will never collect taxes for New York State.

The Senecas say immunity from taxes by a centuries-old federal treaty is the law of the land.
