(Wampsville, NY \u2013 June 9, 2015) Madison County Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted a resolution at their Board of Supervisors Meeting on Tuesday June 9 in support of legislation introduced by New York State Senator David Valesky and New York State Assemblyman William Magee.\u00a0\u00a0 Senate Bill S5670 and Assembly Bill A7844 would authorize a twenty-five percent (25 percent) share in gaming revenue for Madison County from New York State\u2019s share of twenty-five percent of any Net Win with respect to Gaming Devices operated by the Oneida Indian Nation.<\/p>\n

The Oneida Settlement Agreement effective March 4, 2014 provides for sharing of casino revenue with the State and Oneida County who receives twenty-five percent of the State\u2019s share of twenty-five percent as the host County for the Turning Stone Resort and Casino.\u00a0 The agreement stipulates that Oneida County receives twenty-five percent of any Oneida Indian Nation gaming operation regardless of where located.<\/p>\n

During negotiations of the settlement agreement, gaming operations in Madison County were never contemplated and Madison County did not receive revenue sharing host County benefits.\u00a0 Madison County does receive $3.5 million annually to account for lost property and sales taxes from existing Oneida Indian Nation property and enterprises, which does not account for estimated annual losses.<\/p>\n

Board of Supervisors Chairman John M. Becker stated, \u201cAll Madison County is looking for is our fair share of revenue.\u201d He added, \u201cNow that we are a host for gaming operations, we should be provided with what every other County in the State of New York receives, a portion of the revenue generated from these enterprises.\u201d He also added, \u201cEvery property tax payer should be very upset about the County not getting its fair share and should let their elected officials at the State level know.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vice Chairman Daniel Degear stated, \u201cWe are not looking to take money away from Oneida County, but simply to be compensated for substantial additional in-County costs associated from these gaming operations in our County including further loss of sales tax revenue.\u00a0 We will have to handle these costs.\u201d<\/p>\n
