Two Washington tribes have reached an agreement to collect a state gas tax in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision on the subject.
The Swinomish Tribe and the Squaxin Island Tribe had won a court decision that would have barred the collection of the tax. But the decision from the high court, in a case involving a Kansas tribe, changed the landscape.
The tribes will continue to collect the state tax but will be refunded a portion of the money.
