Mike and Marian Ilitch - Detroit Tigers - Gambling Casino ???
They own the Detroit Tigers, Detroit Red Winds, Fox Theatre, etc etc etc...BUT - they should pay back the up to $12 million dollars that Detroit taxpayers are owed for their failure secure and maintain historic Detroit Tiger Stadium....
Up to $12 million dollars, that Detroit needs to hire police officers, fire fighters, EMS techs, fix the lights, water and bus system. But they have no intention of paying and squeamish, cowardly public officials - won't stand up and demand, what is do - pay back to Detroit tax payers.
Mike Ilitch is getting a lot of positive publicity now that the Detroit Tigers have reached the World Series - but you must look behind the curtain - and see - what's behind the story.
Mike Ilitch has invested a lot of money in the Tigers (MLB) and the Detroit Red Wings (NHL) both professional sports teams - but his wife owns a Gambling Casino - The Motor City Casino) in Detroit, also - Is it wrong ??? Yes...Yes...but MLB and the NHL have failed to try and stop this obvious - conflict of interest...
Mile Ilitch has invested money in Detroit, but is he poorer now because of it...NO NO NO...he has reaped the benefits of his efforts and tax breaks and concessions from public officials, who were to sqeamish to stand up to him.
He is responsible for the destruction, of historic Detroit Tiger Stadium, a national treasure and a revenue source for deficeit riddent Detroit, along with George Jackson, of the DEGC and other sqeamish city officials (including former City Council President Ken Cockrell - who admitted publicly that Ilitch 'owed Detroit the money (for Tiger Stadium - up to $12m) and vowed 'to do everything I can to get it back' but hasn't done anything but complain to me - that I alerted the media to his comments.
So if the media want to do a fair portrait of Mike Ilitch look what he has taken from the City - even going so far as to help push, for Red Wing star, Darren McCartney, into bankruptcy for a debt to Marians's casino..
There is a doumentary about the Ilitch and the City's 'demolition by neglect of historic Detroit Tiger Stadium by Peter C. Riley and Gary Glaser - titled: Stranded at the Corner....
There is more sinister curtains to pull back...do you job and look.

DETROIT POLICE - SEX SCANDAL, FIRE PC GODBEE
DETROIT POLICE SEX SCANDAL - FIRE CHIEF GODBEE
DPD Police Chief Ralph Godbee has been suspended for a month, pending a complete investigation into a sexual affair with a Internal Affairs police officer.
News organizations are going crazy trying to track down more information - this will become a national news story and another negative story that will bring ridicule and leave a further impression that Detroit is not a place you want to visit or live.
I have said since the day Mayor Bing appointed Godbee - that Godbee "should not be the face of the Detroit Police Department" - he held fundraisers for XMayor Kilpatrick and was a supporter. He
admitted to an adulterous relationship with former PC Warren Evans girlfriend.
Now he apparently has two girlfriends, who didn't know about each other and their is reports that one found out about the other, when he took one girlfriend on a 'business trip'.
The sordid details will be front page news, because one of the girlfriends has an attorney - and had her gun taken away from her, by the Department.
Mayor Bing was wrong to appoint Godbee - Police Chief, and failed over the last two years to fire him - for failing to build a better police department and has made several bad decisions which has endangered police officers and residents of Detroit.
Detroit must conduct a 'national search' for the best and brightest person to be the new police chief - someone who commands respect in the law enforcement community and someone with the determination to restucture the DPD to better protect Detroit residents and police officers, and visitors.
I have suggested for years - former LA Police Chief William Bratton, but DPD must not get another bad police chief chosen from 'the ranks'.
