"The St. Regis Mohawk Tribe says it’s “at an impasse” in talks with New York over sharing the revenue from the Akwesasne Mohawk Casino near Massena. The tribe says it’s paid more than $50 million to the state, St. Lawrence and Franklin counties, and four north Country towns since 2005 under the Mohawks’ gaming compact.
But those payments stopped last month when the tribe claimed New York violated an exclusivity clause in the compact by allowing slot machines on a little native territory in Clinton County."
