Seneca' Nation responds after New York freezes bank accounts

Seneca Nation members are now firing back at the State of New York after court filings, which essentially put a freeze on the nation's bank accounts and finances as a whole.
The Seneca Nation is speaking out about actions taken by the State of New York that they call "overreaching."
The Seneca Nation president says a subpoena served by the state is impacting Seneca Nation and Seneca Gaming Corporation bank accounts, so they can't conduct banking transactions.
In a statement released Saturday, Seneca Nation president Matthew Pagels said, "Any individuals or organizations with nation-issued checks in their possession should not to attempt to cash or deposit the checks until we have rectified the situation."
The Seneca Nation says this action hurts their ability to provide basic services. The nation and New York State are at odds over casino revenue payments.
This is the latest move in the long-standing dispute between the two sides over hundreds of millions of dollars in casino revenue, which the state claims the Senecas still owe.
