MONDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2001 The Supreme Court today has set aside a ruling which said the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux of Minnesota did not have to pay certain federal taxes on gaming devices. The Supreme Court made its move after deciding last week that two Oklahoma tribes were subject to federal wagering and occupationsl taxes for pull-tabs. Pull-tabs are Class II gaming devices that are considered a bet by the I.R.S. The Shakopee owe $174,000 in taxes. The Federal Circuit Court of Appeals had ruled the tribe didn't have to pay them but that decision is now void. As a formaliy, the Supreme Court sent the case back to the federal circuit to reissue a decision in light of last week's Chickasaw Nation and Choctaw Nation case. Get the Decision Chickasaw Nation v.
