City & State New York follows up on a New York Times report that the Seneca Nation of Indians is again refusing to give New York State permission to reconstruct a dilapidated, three-mile segment of the thruway “until a larger conversation regarding transportation issues within the nation’s territory is had.” The origins of the controversy, according to City & State, lie in “[d]isagreements over how the thruway came to be on Seneca territory, disputes over casino profits, and over 150 years’ worth of bad faith.”
