Untaxed Cigarette Sale On Reservation Upheld
Federal Judge Bruce Thompson ruled Nevada cannot halt untaxed cigarette sales on the Walker River Indian Reservation at Schurz. The state tax commission failed to prove jurisdiction on a federal reservation and cannot tax or interfere with Oregon cigarettes sold to the Stevens Klug Indian trader store. Nebraska hunting law update notes shotguns must have 10 gauge bore for game birds.
