Opinion: New York tribes should pay taxes on casino revenue

Monday, June 10, 2013

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.
