Arthur Sugar Montour is a tribal councilor for the Seneca Indian Nation, which has been running television and radio advertisements against collection of the Indian taxes. The Senecas say an 1842 treaty between the tribe and the state prohibits New York from collecting state taxes on Seneca transactions.

Sorry NY, there's a Treaty. Haven't you stolen from us enough?

Treaty, schmeaty. Why do you think thay would honor it when they haven't honored any of the others and when they don't even honor the Constitution?
