I'm very aware of that, and had an informed conversation with a beneficiary of her actions yesterday.

The Tribes are allowed to use those funds for "vital government services" per the compact signed, which is different from the State Constitution which says gas taxes = roads only (simplified).

Small tribes with small gains from the tax revenue should be able to have no issue demostrating the application of $300,000 of gas taxes towards tribal services of $4 million or more. The issue will be for the large tribes with $10 million in tribal services, but $14-15 million in gas tax revenues.

Interesting subject.
