From How Appealing:
“Court: Oneida Indian Nation can ignore tax collector.” Today’s edition of The Post-Standard of Syracuse, New York contains an article that begins, “When the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2005 that the Oneida Indian Nation had to pay property taxes, much of Madison and Oneida counties rejoiced. A federal appeals court on Tuesday, however, stripped the counties of the power to actually collect those taxes. A panel of the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals said that, while the tribe might owe taxes, it can’t be taken to court because it’s sovereign.”
The Oneida Daily Dispatch reports today that “Court rules that Madison and Oneida counties can’t foreclose on Oneida Indian Nation land.”
And The Utica Observer-Dispatch contains an article headlined “US judges: Counties can’t foreclose on Oneidas.”
