Writer says St. Regis Mohawk Tribe and the Oneida Nation should be paying "taxes" on their gaming revenues:
Why should the Oneida and Mohawk Indian tribes be rewarded with exclusive franchises as a result of their reluctance to pay taxes, and/or share profits?

It sends a clear signal: Play hardball with the state and we will reward you.

The legalization of gambling in New York should be done without regard to the pre-existing Native American casinos, except as they impact the market.
