Judge gives boost to Mayor's campaign to shut down tax-free cigarettes on L.I. Indian reservations
 A Brooklyn federal judge on Wednesday gave a boost to Mayor Bloomberg's campaign to shut down the sale of tax-free cigarettes on Long Island Indian reservations. Brooklyn Federal Judge Carol Amon issued a preliminary injunction against the stores, barring them from selling tax-free smokes while the case moves forward. The mayor says tobacco stores on the Poospatuck reservation may only sell smokes to tribe members - but sell enough for each resident to smoke 19,200 cigarettes a day. Posted by: Fred 2009-08-28 |
