M o re News fro m Indian C o u n try
Tribe asks court to stop 1RS subpoenas
MIAMI (AP) - A Florida
Indian tribe asked skeptical
federal appeals judges last
w eek to stop th e In tern al
Revenue Service from o b
taining its financial records as
p a rt o f a tax investigation
into gambling profits.
Bernardo Roman III, at
torney for the M iccosukee
tribe, told a three-judge panel
o f the 11th U.S. Circuit Court
o f Appeals that the IRS has
no explicit authority to sub
p o e n a b an k s fo r trib a l
records. R om an w ants the
court to overturn a judge’s
2011 ruling that the IRS is
perm itted to get the records
despite the tribe’s assertion
that it is protected by its sta
tus as a sovereign entity.
“W hen it comes to Indian
tribes there has to be specific
m ention in the statute that
applies to them,” Roman said.
“The statute does n o t include
th e re c o rd s o f an In d ia n
tribe.”
All th ree o f th é judges,
sharply questioned that posi
tion. Circuit Judge Rosemary
Barkett noted that tribes are
included in broad definitions
in the federal tax code, includ
ing the sections dealing with
1RS tax evasion investigations.
“So you’re saying they re
ally can’t investigate at all,”
she said. “Why do they need
something specific?” ,
T he 1RS is investigating
whether federal tax withhold
ing and rep o rtin g req u ire
ments were m et for gambling
profits distributed to the esti
m ated 600 m em bers o f the
M iccosukee tribe, w hich is
based in the Everglades west
o f Miami. T he case argued
last week involves the years
2006 through 2009, b u t re-
cently the IRS has widened
the investigation to include
o th er years and is seeking
additional tribal records.
The tribe has previously
acknow ledged in a related
lawsuit th at m ore than 100
individual Miccosukees owe
the IRS more than $25 mil
lion in back taxes, penalties
and interest. The broader in
v estig atio n likely involves
much more m oney than that.
The tribe itself is n ot sub
ject to federal taxation, but
under IRS rules it m ust with
hold and report taxes on in
com e i t ’distributes, to tribe
members. Last year, U,S. D is
trict Judge Alan G old ruled
that an Indian tribe cannot
use sovereign im m unity to
prevent actions against it by
the federal governm ent such
as the IRS probe.

New Principal for Madras Primary
fl message from Rick molitor
Madras Primary is proud to welcome new
principal Gary Carlton. Mr. Carlton is taking over
for Kathy Bishop who recently retired after more
than 20 years of service for the school district.
Gary Carlton has been a member of the school
district’s leadership team for nine years. He most recently served
as the District’s director of alternative education and before that
he held the position of Madras High School principal.
Superintendent
We begin this school year with a renewed sense
of pride and hope as we move forward with
plans to build and upgrade school facilities with
funds made possible by the school bond that
voters passed in the Spring. Your votes and your
confidence have made an important statement
about our Jefferson County community and its
commitment to education. While we still have a
ways to go, we continue to make remarkable progress with our
state test Scores. Every day, we are learning more about how to
engage students in the classroom. As a result, our children are
reading and writing at new levels. Our math and science scores are
moving up. There is no doubt that we’re on the right track and
that we have tremendous opportunity and work still ahead of us.
As we continue our efforts to improve student achievement, we
are also taking steps to enhance our relationships with each other,
our students and the families we serve. We are all working harder
and expecting more from students. Given the intensity of our
work and budget challenges, we think it’s especially important to
maintain positive environments for the students and staff.
With all of this in mind, we’ve been talking a lot about
compassion and empathy as we launch the new school year. We
are working with award winning author Trudy Ludwig to build
a stronger culture of support in our school buildings. Trudy
specializes in writing children’s books that explore the colorful
and sometimes confusing world of children’s social interactions.
She has received rave reviews nationwide from educators, experts,
organizations, and parents for her passion and compassion.
We look forward to a great and challenging year!
