Michael & Marian Ilitch and their associate Michael J. Malik, Sr. are hosting a top-dollar fundraiser for Repulican presidential candidate, and former New York Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, August 27th in Detroit when the New York Yankees are scheduled to play the Ilitches' Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park.
The Ilitch Family and Malik are among Rep. Candice Miller's (R-MI 10th) top political patrons; although they neither live nor have their principal offices in Michigan's 10th congressional district. Collectively they have personally given nearly $90,000 to Rep. Miller's political committees since she first introduced a bill to push congressional approval of their off-reservation Indian casino scheme for Port Huron, MI. And they have helped Rep. Miller raise thousands more from their friends and wide network of business colleagues, vendors and suppliers. They had not actively supported Rep. Miller's political career previously.
Rep. Miller has been tapped as Michigan campaign chairman for the Giuliani presidential campaign.
Mike & Marian Ilitch are cofounders of Little Caesars Pizza. The Ilitch Family owns the Detroit Tigers, Detroit Red Wings, MotorCity Casino, Fox Theater and various other sports, entertainment and dining enterprises. Marian Ilitch and Michael Malik have created various syndication enterprises pushing off-reservation Indian casinos in New York (proposed for the posh Hamptons resort area on Long Island), Michigan and California. Previously they attempted to legalize gambling in Hawaii with the intent to build two casinos on Oahu; one of them on Waikiki Beach.

So if Rudy wins, then he owes Candice who owes Ilitch?
So in May Candice Miller co-authored their seventh try at pushing congressional approvals for the irregular Port Huron deal through Congress -- H.R. 2176.
And in the meantime, Rudy might be able to help them bring some of the New York delegation on board their Long Island casino train or influence Gov. Spitzer to get them a piece of the racetrack video gaming action.
Don't they realize the GOP's no longer in power?
