VERONA, N.Y. — The Oneida Indian Nation will suspend its gasoline tax for the remainder of 2022 at all Maple Leaf Market and SavOn store locations in Oneida and Madison counties.

“Our hope is that this reduction in gas price provides some relief and that more favorable economic times are coming soon,” Oneida Indian Nation Representative Ray Halbritter said in a news release.
