Obama Wants $1 billion dollars for Native American schools
President Obama's 2016 budget request will include $1 billion dollars for Native American schools — $150 million more than this year's budget. About $75 million will go to school construction and repairs. A third of the schools are rated as being in "poor condition." Many have problems with mold, mice and leaky roofs. The budget request also seeks $33 million to expand the schools' Internet capabilities. Less than a third of the schools have the Internet and computer capability needed for nation-wide student testing.
I've never once agreed with this Communist agitator but this, I have to agree with. IF (big if) ALL the money goes where it's supposed to and not to Obamas Democrat/socialist/communist causes.
In 2011, 246 tribes operate 460 gaming facilities in 28 states.
Whereas other gambling institutions may do as their stakeholders please with their net profits, tribal nations must follow strict rules. Per IGRA (25 USC 2710), gaming net profits may be used only to:
1) Fund tribal government operations or programs;
2) Provide for the general welfare of their members;
3) Promote tribal economic development;
4) Donate to charitable organizations; and
5) Help fund operations of local government agencies
