And that this money is not coming from Tribal coffers or casino money, but straight from so far unidentified funds which could be private (Soros?) or could be the feds sluiced down to the Tribes. According to the confidential Tribal member who leaked the info, each person who tests for COVID whether they are sick or asymptomatic gets at least $1500 and each child gets $500. If the test is positive they get an additional hefty amount of money.
The leaker used a social media platform to divulge this info because they were pissed off that the Tribal government apparently was holding on to more than their share of the COVID testing monies kicked down to the Tribe. Supposedly this COVID money was to offset the "lost wages" of Tribal members who tested positive. The individual was castigated for leaking out the info that Tribal members were actually receiving COVID payments which non-native folks didn't qualify for.
Great scheme: pay Tribal members to get tested and make sure they come back positive. Pay those members, many of whom are at or below the poverty line to keep COVID alive and well in Oregon statistics. What's $8 million to keep Oregon locked down?
Sorry, that due to respect for the source, I cannot sauce this appropriately but I am sure someone with much more pull and contacts than I have can. Prove me wrong.
