twitterTribe contests assessments
Tuesday, May 24, 2005 | 9:22 a.m.
VERONA, N.Y. -- The Oneida Indian Nation is protesting the placement of its Turning Stone Casino complex and more than 200 other properties on local tax rolls, a town official said Monday.
A nation lawyer will appear today before a special Board of Assessment Review panel to contest $384 million in assessments imposed last month by the town. The Oneidas filed 217 grievances challenging the assessments, said Town Supervisor David Reed.
The Oneidas maintain they are a federally recognized tribe, and therefore, cannot be taxed, Reed said. Oneida Nation spokesman Mark Emery said the tribe had no further comment.
While town officials expected the Oneida grievances, Reed said he was surprised the nation continued to maintain they do not owe any taxes at all.
