members $2,000 a month
05/09/2002
TACOMA - Starting Saturday, each member of the Puyallup Tribe will
receive $2,000 a month. For a family of four, that would be $96,000 a
year. The tribal council voted to increase payments from revenue generated
by the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma. Payments had been $200 a month. The tribe has 2,700 members. That adds up to $65 million a year. In July, the tribe plans to break ground on a bigger casino – a
$200-million hotel and restaurant complex.
