Eleventh Circuit Holds Florida’s Rental Tax is Preempted by Federal Indian Law, but Not Utility Tax
Here is the opinion in Seminole Tribe of Florida v. Stranburg. An excerpt:
Benjamin Franklin said, “[I]n this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” He was almost right. As this case illustrates, even taxes are not certain when it comes to matters affecting Indian tribes. In this appeal, we consider whether Florida’s Rental Tax and Florida’s Utility Tax, as applied to matters occurring on Seminole Tribe lands, violate the tenets of federal Indian law. For the reasons that follow, we find that the Utility Tax as it involves activities on Tribe land does not, but the Rental Tax does.

False Claims Act Suit against Afognak Native Corporation and Alutiiq LLC
Here is the complaint in United States ex rel. Ferris v. Afognak Native Corp. (D. Alaska):
Awful strange, in that the complaint heading lists the Northern District of Alabama as the court, is supposedly filed under seal (but here it is), and the header on each page refers to the document as attorney-client privileged (but again, here it is).
