Well, well, well... Congrats to State Tax Commissioner Andrew Eristoff for showing a little bit of common sense, even though it was apparently for the wrong reason.

Eristoff recalled the violence along the Thruway in 1997, the last time the state tried to enforce the tax rules. He acknowledged that the threat of violence by some Indians contributed to his decision to stop the collection efforts. If I threaten violence can I get off paying taxes? Great idea, I used to think they would send Swat teams with machine guns and flak jackets to bust down my door.

Just more of the "reservation as sovereign nation" racket. They are sovereign (claim to be anyways) when it suits them.
