Revenue-sharing dispute between Seneca Nation of Indians and New York State has finally come to a halt. The tribe announced it would drop its lawsuit against Empire State, and said it was ready to start its next lawsuit. Also, the U.S. will receive about $40 million as part of the current lawsuit.
This week, India’s Seneca Nation made the announcement in a Facebook video, announcing that they would drop their case against the state. India’s President Matthew Pagels said their gaming wealth was developed through Seneca Nation’s vision, dedication, and historic investment, and is a major private sector employer in Western New York.
Gov. Kathy Hochul also issued a statement after the announcement Wednesday night. She is pleased that both sides have reached an agreement to continue paying to benefit the state, the tribe and the Western New York community. She also said she is looking forward to negotiations for the next contract, which will begin in two months.
Mr. Pagels also said that the tribe’s top priority is to create the best possible future for the Seneca nation and future generations. According to him, agreements with states, which are improved by greater federal scrutiny, could provide Seneca people with greater equity in the long-term stability of the country’s game operations as well as continuous development.
The tribal chief concluded by saying that, instead of seeking legal action, the Nations decided to address its concerns with the current agreement in a new deal on clearer and mandatory terms. And he said he wants the momentum generated by tribal investment to continue to grow and forge stronger relationships with the Niagara Falls, Salamanca and Buffalo regions.
Last month, U.S. District Judge William M. Screnny issued his third federal court ruling, which requires the Seneca State to comply with its financial obligations. He said the Home Office’s concerns about the legality of the renewal period payment were not solidly founded, and would be insufficient grounds to conclude that the shortage would face extreme and unjust difficulties if the court did not overturn its previous decision
Through the Seneca Gaming Corporation, the tribal nation operates three casinos in western New York – Seneca Nagara Resort & Casino, Seneca Alegany Resort & Casino, and Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino. Last November, the tribal nation received a total of 28 hours
