Seneca Nation leaders have renounced violence, urged calm and tried to dampen the emotion in the buildup to the state’s attempt to collect taxes on cigarettes. Even so, some emotion ― mostly frustration ― has bubbled up from the Cattaraugus Reservation.
With questions about potential economic harm from a successful attempt at tax collection, sometimes it sounds like a people’s attempt at survival. While two public,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], “peaceful” rallies are planned on the reservation this morning, tensions had been climbing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the raw emotion has still shown its head.
The Senecas,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who have been subjected to “continued aggression and encroachment from New York State,” need to remain resilient, Tribal Council Member J.C. Seneca said Tuesday. The trade group also advocates the State Legislature going further and repealing the increase. Pleas for relief from chains like Wilson Farms are colliding with the dire fiscal picture of the state, which is desperate to raise revenues.
When the current state budget was passed, the spending plan projected the cigarette and tobacco products tax increase would yield about $290 million in revenues,cheap marlboro red cigarettes website,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], according to the state Comptroller’s Office. The budget also projected $150 million in revenues from taxes collected on cigarette sales by Native Americans to non-Native Americans, but the likelihood of collecting those taxes is unclear.
Both the convenience store operators and Native American retailers claim the state’s actions ― or intentions ― threaten their economic viability. Convenience stores argue that high cigarette taxes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and a lack of collection of taxes of sales by Native Americans to non-Native Americans, put their jobs and revenues at risk by creating an “unlevel playing field.”
Native American retailers contend that if the state is allowed to collect taxes on sales to non-Native Americans, their operations would suffer lost sales and jobs. What’s more, they see the state’s efforts as in violation of centuries-old treaties,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a point the convenience store trade group disputes.
Nanula stressed his complaints are not directed at the Native Americans. “This is really a call to action to New York State,” he said. Wilson Farms officials say the summertime tax hike has disrupted the chain’s growth curve.
