Mayor goes after Indian cig sales

LONG ISLAND. Mayor Michael Bloomberg extended his war against illegal cigarette sales by sending undercover operatives to buy 60 cartons of untaxed cigarettes on Long Island’s Poospatuck reservation near Mastic. By law, only Native Americans may buy unstamped, untaxed cigarettes. Bloomberg said the state is losing millions in revenue.
