A federal judge has sided with the Seminole Tribe of Florida in a dispute with the state Department of Revenue about utility and rental taxes on tribal property, including at casinos in Hollywood and Tampa.

Also, he found that a state rental tax could not be imposed on food-court operations at the Seminole Hard Rock casinos.
