The Reno-Sparks Indian Colony signed an agreement with the state of Nevada to share some tax revenues generated on the reservation.
Under an existing agreement, in place for 12 years, the tribe received all tax revenue as long as the tax matched the local rate. Under the new agreement, the state will receive the use tax from a Mercedes Benz dealership located on tribal land.
The tribe opened the dealership to complaints by Republicans and some local officials about the alleged loss of tax revenues.
