A state appeals court has ruled that the Cayuga Indian Nation cannot be criminally charged for not paying cigarette taxes at its central New York stores.
The Fourth Department Appellate Division in Rochester granted the Cayugas’ request for a preliminary injunction on Wednesday, temporarily blocking Cayuga and Seneca counties from prosecuting them on felony tax-evasion charges.
