The city of North Bend, Oregon, filed a lawsuit against the Coquille Tribe in state court for alleged breach of contract.
The city says the tribe missed a first quarterly payment of $115,000 for municipal services. The city says the tribe won't be making a second quarterly payment of $115,000 either and won't be making a payment in lieu of lodging and motor taxes.
The tribe has been making the payments for the last 15 years.
