May 29, 2014 Supreme Court refuses to hear Hobart’s storm water fees appeal
The Oneida Tribe received notice today the United States Supreme Court denied the Village of Hobart’s Petition seeking review of a Court of Appeals’ decision which determined that the Village lacks authority to assess storm water charges against the Tribe’s trust properties. In February 2010 the Tribe filed a lawsuit in federal district court chal- lenging the Village’s authority to impose storm water charges on tribal trust properties. The Tribe contended the Village lacked jurisdiction to assess the charges, and that the charges constituted illegal taxes. The Village filed a counterclaim against the Tribe, and a claim against the United States alleging that the federal government was responsible for pay- ment of the charges. The district court ruled in favor of the Tribe and the United States, and the Village appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. In October of 2013, the Seventh Circuit upheld the district court’s ruling. The Village of Hobart then sought review by the United States Supreme Court. The Supreme Court today denied review. For many years, the Tribe has regu- lated water quality on the Reservation pursuant to tribal and federal law, and worked cooperatively with the Environmental Protection Agency and local governments.

What these four men did was nothing less than heroic and America is grateful for their service,” he said. “They have our respect, our recognition, and a place in history for their actions and accomplishments. They and their generation made America great and won the freedom the current and future generations will continue to enjoy.” Now, the Friday before Memorial Day will remind Oneida Tribal employees about the important role these four men played in WWII. That day was a paid holiday known as Oneida Day. In December of last year, the Oneida Business Committee past a resolution now call- ing it Oneida Code Talker Day. “This is now known as Oneida Code Talkers Day. It used to be Oneida Day. We are so proud of these people and celebrate them now and forever,” said Oneida Chairman Ed Delgado. • See 2A, Code Talker’s Bios Local 2A (T#ken) • May 29, 2014 www.kalihwisaks.com Oneida Nation Code Talkers’ Biographies
