It was done on the Governors orders.



Funny how all the harassment stopped once the state got a cut of the gambling action, which, without a lot of research, seems pretty close to illegal if we're talking about a state levied tax upon a sovereign nation. Then the state spin doctors had the b&lls to tell us "The money will go to education."
Mmm Hmmm - sure it will.

I can't see how that CT casino deal was any different than when organized crime does a shakedown. And to beat that, had organized crime done the extortion deal at the casino, they wouldn't demand a paper trail, reports, permits, and compliance audits like the state of CT surely must.

I had to laugh when I read that the CT revenuers rolled up to the NY Seneca reservation, and demanded the list of CT cigarette customers buying tax free cigarettes. The Senecas told them to go pound sand. I love it. Then a few of our elected geniuses in Washington figured it would be a good idea to introduce a bill to demand by law that UPS & Fedex drivers collect cigarette taxes upon delivery. I kid you not.
