Appeals court to hear Winnebago gas tax case
MONDAY, JANUARY 27, 2003 The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals will hear a case next month that pits the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska against the state of Kansas. The tribe won a federal judge's ruling that prevents the state from imposing a gas distribution tax on the tribe's economic development corporation, Ho-Chunk Inc., which delivers gas to three tribes in Kansas. Claiming $1.25 million in back taxes, the state had seized the corporation's gas truck and initiated a criminal warrant against Lance Morgan, the corporation's CEO. Ho-Chunk Inc. owns Indianz.Com and AllNative.Com. Get the Story:
