8.20.07 SHINNECOCK PLAN
Casino developers help Rudy
Rudy Giuliani is playing ball with developers who are bankrolling the Shinnecock's controversial push to put a 61,000-square-foot casino and 600-room hotel in Hampton Bays. Michael Malik and Marian Ilitch, who have paid lobbyists more than $1 million to represent American Indian tribal casino developers, are listed as "captains" for an Aug. 27 fundraiser for Giuliani's presidential campaign to be held at a Detroit Tigers game against the Yankees. Tickets range from $1,000 to $2,300, according to the invitation. The state and the Town of Southampton are fighting the casino plan in court.
Malik admitted last year that he failed to report a $26,600 contribution to a GOP group in California. He paid a $6,500 fine.
