County plans to inspect Cayuga Nation gas station
Wednesday, April 13, 2005

A New York county plans to inspect the Cayuga Nation's gas station, citing the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in the Oneida Nation case.

Cayuga County officials say they have jurisdiction over the tribe's properties as a result of the decision. They plan to inspect the gas station pumps.

The tribe bought a gas station and convenience store within its 64,000-acre historic reservation.
