Tom Shields, a public relations and political consultant from Lansing, Michigan, is the spokesman for the Ilitch Family and their casino syndication development partner Michael J. Malik for projects and properties throughout Michigan and across the United States.
Shields flew to California this week to defend his clients' stalled casino plans before the Barstow City Council meeting.
Rather than admit his clients' plans and approach have been flawed from the beginning, or address any of the circumstances or concerns raised by TVT, Tom Shields cast his billionaire Detroit casino syndicator clients as the victims.
In scripted remarks he resorted to desperate attacks on Southern California's Native American tribes, a local citizen activist Larry Halstead and TheVerifiableTruth.com.
In particular and as one would expect, Tom Shields used unfounded allegations, manufactured circumstances and lies to attack TheVerifiableTruth.com.
In closing his remarks he indicated that he wasn't sure if TVT may or may not be effective. It seems Shields can't believe a few volunteer citizen activists could be a match for his venerable Lansing-based public relations/political consulting agency Marketing Resource Group.
TVT submits that if Mr. Shields flew half-way across the country to attack TVT at a City Council meeting in Barstow, CA - a midsummer journey to the middle of the Mojave Desert, home of "Death Valley" -- it is a clear indication that TheVerfiableTruth.com is more than effective.
Thank you once again Mr. Shields for the acknowledgements!

Note: Shields' clients have formed Barwest LLC; adopted tribal partners the Big Lagoon Rancheria and Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeno Indians; and are pushing a scheme to locate the tribes' two casinos, one as far as 750 miles away from a tribe's existing reservation, to Barstow, California. The Detroit casino syndicators are desperate to get a foot in the lucrative California gaming market. Their efforts have been without regard for Southern California's legitimate tribes and have completely ignored the tribes' concerns.
