Re: [OM] Trip to Canada in June

The indians can have as many cigarettes as they want tax free... for 
their own use.  But selling them to folks off the reservation without 
taxes is a different matter.  It goes on all the time, the state hasn't 
been able to stop it and it has been the source of a couple of gun 
battles between indians and NY state police.  The degree of the uproar 
depends on the governor that's sitting at the time and the state's 
fiscal position.  Not good right now.  Some trouble must be brewing.
