Mike Ilitch owes the City up to $12m - for failing to secure and maintain Tiger Stadium under the City agreements...And if he can afford $214m for Fielder + Verlanders, Cabrera, etc..
Justin Verlander Salary Info and Value - Detroit Tigers Salaries -- Baseball Player Salaries - google / and click to see...
...
Councilman Ken Cockrel knows Ilitch owes the money - ask him....and
Ilitch can afford to pay for DPD officers assigned to the Tiger / Red Wing games.
The City of Detroit can't afford to demolish dangerous park bathrooms, and threaten to fire city workers - and want to raise coporate taxes to 2%...then the Council should demand that Ilitch pay up.

DETROIT PUBLIC SAFETY - DETROIT TIGERS OPENING DAY
Public Safety is NOT the #1 issue in Detroit - public safety for Detroit residents was compromised by Opening Day of the Detroit Tigers, owned by billionaire Mike Ilitch, who can afford to pay for private security.....
Three officers were pulled from the Sixth Precinct (NW District) and three officers were pulled from the day shift of the Eighth Precinct (NW District) and sent to Comerica Park, to provide police protection to the large number of suburban residents who attended the Opening Day festivities. Other precincts also contributed officers, the total number is not known - at this time, but at the NW District the six officers would make up three scout car crews that weren't able to respond to 911 calls...multiply that - by all the other precincts and the reason - police officers weren't there to protect Detroit residents is because they were at new non historical ball park.
This situation but to lesser extent will exist all through the Tiger season - as police officers will be assigned to a Comerica Park Baseball Detail, robbing the local precincts of officers needed to respond to 911 calls - from a Department that is already understaffed, with low morale.
ps: Detroit Police Officers still do not have - traffic safety vests, needed to protect them at accident scenes (I requested them as long ago as 1993 - after I was hit by a car at an accident scene, where some officers - upon arrival thought that I was dead, because of the amount of blood, I had lost.
Moonlighting - Detroit Police Officers (2nd Job) is not viable - the Department is too understaffed.

DETROIT PISTONS - SAY NO TO MIKE ILLITCH- NO TO GAMBLING - DETROIT TIGERS - DETROIT RED WINGS...
Mike and Marian Illitch should be barred by the National Basketball Association from buying the Detroit Pistons. Major League Baseball and the National Hockey League should stand up, for integrity, and tell the Illitch's sell their gambling interests or their pro sports franchises.
Marian Ilitch owns the Motor City Casino, in Detroit, and is involved in getting casinos in Ohio - that will compete with Detroit area casinos.
Mike Illitch had an agreement with the City of Detroit to maintain historic Detroit Tiger Stadium as it was in 1999 and he failed - taking millions of dollars in taxpayer money. His neglect and failures help cause Tiger Stadium to look decrepit
and unsightly, making people believe that it was structurally unsafe - when it was not. Tiger Stadium was demolished through 'demolition by neglect' by Illitch, the Detroit Economic Development Commission and city officials. I have asked the FBI to investigate Mike Illitch and city officials - for possible federal law violations.
He does not have the best interest of Detroit, in mind, and Detroit does not have the money, nor does the state to build a new sports arena for a billionaire.
Speak Out - Integrity needs to be the NO. 1 issue in pro sports and mixing gambling and sports is not good for the fans or the players.
ps: didn't - Darren McCarty, former Red Wing, post a debt of $50,000. on his bankruptcy filing for the Motor City Casino (Illitch)?

HISTORIC DETROIT TIGER STADIUM LIVES ON...
DETROIT TIGER STADIUM WILL LIVE IN THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO VISITED THE STADIUM, SO LONG AS THEY TAKE THE TIME TO REMEMBER IT.
MIKE ILITCH OWES THE CITY OF DETROIT UP TO $12. MILLION DOLLARS FOR FAILURE TO FULFILL THE AGREEMENTS TO MAINTAIN TIGER STADIUM AS IT WAS IN 1999 AND TO SECURE IT FROM VANDALS AND THIEVES. ILITCH'S FAILURE TO LIVE UP TO THE AGREEMENTS MAYBE UNDER INVESTIGATION BY THE FBI - HE TOOK CITY FUNDS / TAX PAYER MONEY FOR THE AGREEMENTS.
DETROIT CITY COUNCILMAN KEN COCKREL TOLD ME 'DAVID, YOUR BOY (PETER RILEY) WAS RIGHT HE (ILITCH) OWES THE CITY THE MONEY, AND I WILL DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO GET IT BACK' - WELL COCKREL LIED TO ME -
HE HAS DONE NOTHING TO GET THE MONEY BACK.
ILITCH SHOULD HONOR TIGER STADIUM BY BUILDING A 2,500 SEAT LIGHTED STADIUM AND THREE (3) ADDITIONAL BALL FIELDS AT THE TIGER STADIUM SITE.
IF HE FAILS TOO - THE CITY SHOULD PURSUE THE FBI INVESTIGATION AND PROVIDE COMPLETE COOPERATION, AND THE CITY SHOULD DEMAND THAT THE NATIONAL BASEBALL LEAGUE AND THE NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE, FORCE ILITCH TO SELL THE TIGERS AND RED WINGS OR THAT MARIANNE ILITCH SELL HER CASINO ENTERPRISES.
DETROIT HAS TO STAND UP IN THESE HARD ECONOMIC TIMES AND DEMAND THAT ITS CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS BE HONORED - SOMETHING THAT HASN'T BEEN DONE IN THE PAST.
