Motorists, tribe clash over sales tax collection

SENECA FALLS - Two groups with opposing opinions gathered Saturday to stand up for their individual causes.

The Cayuga-Seneca chapter of Upstate Citizens for Equality held a motorcade rally in an effort to persuade New York Gov. David Paterson to enforce a 2006 law that requires tax collection on tobacco and gasoline products sold by Indian businesses.

In response to the rally, LakeSide Trading Station gave away $10 worth of gas to every car that came to its station between 8 a.m. to noon.
