The DNR's annual aerial survey, released Thursday, estimates the state's moose population fell f...

The reason a ten-pack carton of cigarettes can go for as little as $40 in the state of New York, despite the $4.35-a-pack tax, is that sovereign Indian nations have started packaging their own tobacco. Governor Cuomo, not to mention non-Native American convenience stores and cigarette brands, are not pleased, and claim the practice is a form of tax evasion, like those roll-your-own shops that started popping up and were quickly dealt with. Even the tribes don't love their new business, but it's working for now....
