Senate Report: Why New York Fails to Collect Cigarette Taxes on Native American Reservations

New York State faces a $9 billion shortfall while failing to collect taxes on the billions of dollars worth of cigarettes sold by Native American reservations.

Why?

Headed by chairman Craig Johnson, the New York State Standing Committee on Investigations takes a close look at why we’re not collecting these taxes.  Read the report, share it with your friends and be sure to head over to NYUpInSmoke.Org for more information. NYUpInSmoke.Org also has a prepared letter that you can send to Governor Paterson to urge him to take action.

New York is in deep trouble. With your help, we can stop this illegal activity and stop cutting important government programs.
