Brief Executive Summary
From the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, the Subcommittee on Federal Spending Oversight and Emergency Management led by Senator Rand Paul issued a weekly waste report on the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) intending to spend $500k on building a parking lot for Golden Eagle Casino in Apache, OK. The report takes issue with the project as it is designated under the authority of the Buy Indian Act, of which parking lot construction is not eligible.
